Chumel con Chumel Torres Season 2, Episode 20: How much for my art?

1

Mexicans at Trump's shout

President Trump’s scorn for Mexico is translating into a wall and a revision of the commercial treaties that bind the two countries together. Revisiting the trade agreements makes sense, but the insults might injure the bilateral relationship forever.

2

Poor austerity

In order to avoid possible economic crises and bring down the debt and the deficit, the government is announcing austerity measures. But these are merely symbolic solutions that will not eradicate the underlying problems, and may increase inequality in the long term.

3

... You won't believe what happened next

Bananas injected with HIV, uninformed Presidents and Gossip. How do we keep ourselves informed? Where do these false portals come from? Is it a business? Bananas injected with HIV - is that for real?

Send nudes, send love

Are you lonely? Don’t worry. Somewhere out there someone is waiting to meet you, and there are those who have turned this need into a business. From newspaper ads to Dating Apps. Whether you’re a man, a woman or a Tyrannosaurus Rex, don’t give up, there’s a special someone for you.

5

Everything you should know about AIDS (but you were afraid to ask)

Although we think we know all there is to know about sexually transmitted diseases, the truth is, all we have to do is ask to realize we don’t anything at all. In this program we take apart the myths surrounding HIV AIDS.

6

Heroes or cops?

Police are not easily trusted in Latin America. Mexico is one of the five countries where people express the least confidence in their police. And this hasn’t come without cause given more than 25,000 police have failed their exams to be certified and yet continue in their official posts.

7

Politicians: they are what we have

Straight from the social networks, comes to HBO a new kind of opinion and analysis program. This is not just a boring news show, not the same old TV news, and not just another talk show. It’s Chumel with Chumel Torres.

$ocialism

Socialism, the doctrine that laid the foundations for the Latin American left, and ended up becoming the very source of abundance. Learn about the great fortunes amassed by the region’s principal leaders in this doctrine.

9

WTF Venezuela

18 years of Chavismo in power have led Venezuela into a deep economic and social crisis. The opposition has spent a month in the streets demanding elections and respect for Parliament, while the Government fiercely represses the demonstrators as it pursues its intention to perpetuate its hold on power.

10

Less schools! More "heducation"!

The traditional methodology of the school is obsolete: it does not develop skills to learn or work. There are new methods that do help students achieve it. In Mexico they will be implemented unless politicians oppose unnecessarily.

11

Electronic trash

TVs, computers, cell phones and other devices constantly renew them, some sell them, others buy them and we all breathe the toxic elements they have. Electronic waste a problem that is not so visible.

12

Corrupt syndicates

Labor rights defenders or brazen thieves? See how some union leaders have gone from defending and protecting the interests of workers to enrich themselves at their expense, in view of all of us and with "permission" from the government.

13

Violence against journalists

The increase in violence against journalists in Mexico has called into question the Government's commitment to freedom of expression. Chumel sends a message to all journalists who make this program possible with their work.

14

The "T" word

Trans individuals are experiencing a vital moment as their presence increases in the media, giving rise to a greater understanding of their situation. At present their struggle is engaged with civil rights issues as they fight against the violence born of prejudice and ignorance.

15

Bleached Advertising

Latin American advertising is full of whites but their countries are not. These stereotypes produce discrimination; which has serious consequences ranging from the aesthetic to the social.

16

Stadium Violence

Soccer fans can’t control their passions, which has given rise to outbursts of violence that, in some cases, have ended in death. Soccer is a sport that unites all of Latin America, though it looks like it might also have the power to drive us apart.

17

Votes or bullets

Chumel presents some of the most popular cases of fugitive politicians in Latin America who are still waiting for the arrival of justice. Peru, El Salvador, Venezuela and Mexico show us the different faces of corruption in our continent.

18

OE OE OE OE OEAAA!

The Organization of American States has racked up almost 70 years serving as a meeting point for countries in the Americas, though with its effectiveness and interests in doubt, the OAS is facing its own limitations, crises and uncertainties.

Prisons or universities?

Do prisons work? In this episode we analyze the problems faced by people subject to criminal proceedings. Also how life for a former prisoner can be as difficult outside as in jail. We will also see art and prison theater.

How much for my art?

After a drop in box office sales, the Mexican film industry seems to be having a slight rebound, though sometimes it seems the only choices are “death, kidnapping and calamity,” or “that love story we’ve already seen 20 times.”

21

Government, the press client

The media has found the best customer not with its subscribers or with the advertising companies, but with one that leaves more profits: The Government.

22

INFRASTRUCCHOR

Infrastructure is for promoting a country’s development, but unfortunately, corruption puts a brake on things because the construction industry is wide open to abuse. The good news is that there are ways to get around this with mechanisms for transparency and citizen participation.

#ForceMexico

We count the damage left by hurricanes in the Caribbean and earthquakes in Mexico. We thank all those who have helped and show the pages and the means to donate and motivate to send help until it is no longer needed.

24

Big Data

Everything you do on the Internet leaves a trail, a trail that says what you like, where you like it and how you like it. This grouping of information is called "Big Data", a business so large that 4 of the 5 most valuable companies in the world are dedicated to it.

25

Donation: split and share

Donating organs is giving life. We can all do it and it costs nothing, but thanks to ignorance, urban and religious myths, many people do not want to donate. Here we demystify the subject.

26

The government spies on us

The Mexican government staged a major spying scandal after a New York Times article released the state’s attempts to spy on civilian phones.
