One of the breakout hits of 2020, the limited series from Spain charted the rise and fall and rise again of Veneno, a trans sex worker who attained the status of cultural icon in Spain due to her fiery regular appearances on late-night TV. Told through the eyes of real-life friend Valeria Vegas (and adapted from her book), VENENO, with all its glamour, heartbreak, and sensuality felt like a landmark in trans storytelling. Valeria Vegas and the show’s creators, Los Javis, are joined by Pose and American Horror Story star - and avowed Veneno superfan - Angelica Ross to talk about the show’s journey to the screen, and what doors it may have opened for more trans stories to be told.
Featured Talent: Javier Ambrossi, Javier Calvo, and Valeria Vegas moderated by Angelica Ross
