Latin Pulse 11/16/12

This week Latin Pulse provides a special focus on telenovelas, the very popular cultural form produced throughout the region and exported successfully worldwide. The program includes insights on the gender issues raised by these popular shows and the program looks at how these shows demonstrate how the Drug War is resonating culturally. The news segment of the program deals with announcements this week from US President Barack Obama about the prospects for comprehensive immigration reform during his second term in office.
