Leguizamo Does America on SBS Viceland and SBS on Demand – John Leguizamo (Romeo + Juliet) takes a road trip across the country to bring viewers inside America’s thriving Latino communities – all with his characteristic edge, energy and wit.
From San Juan to East LA with some surprising stops in between, Leguizamo will celebrate the history, culture, food and other contributions of Latinx people shaping America.
Season One, Episode One: New York City
Though often overlooked, Latinos have been making contributions to the culture of NYC all along. Whether through food, dance, music or fashion, Latinos have helped make this city what it is: A cultural hub that the world looks to for inspiration.
Season One, Episode Two: Miami
John tours Miami’s historic sector, Little Havana, with community leader Marvin Tapia, and discusses the influence of the Cuban community in Miami. John later meets with actor, playwright and activist Carmen Pelaez to discuss the stronghold the right wing has had on the Latino community and the future of Miami politics.
John then visits the arts district of Miami which has earned that title largely due to the Latinx artists who have painted its impressive walls. John also visits Peruvian chef Juan Chipoco at his flagship restaurant, Ceviche 105. Lastly, John meets up with comedian George Harris, who has built community and gives immigrants a safe place to laugh and rejoice in stories that reflect their experiences.
