‘Potato,’ a new podcast starring Stephanie Sigman and Tenoch Huerta
Mexicans Stephanie Sigman and Tenoch Huerta star in the bilingual podcast 'Potato' following a story of migration in the U.S.
The Potato podcast follows the story of Abigail Smith, the daughter of a Mexican woman and a white father, who works as an agent for the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Service (ICE).
Faced with two worlds because of her Mexican heritage and identity as an American immigration officer, as a child she was teased as a 'potato': Brown on the outside and white on the inside.
With that memory upon her shoulders since childhood, Abi has always believed that her duty is to protect the southern border of the United States until one day her undocumented brother Pedro gets deported back to Mexico.
In her journey to help her brother, Abi seems to discover more about herself and her late father, who also worked as a police officer.
Each episode will reveal more of the secrets Abi's mother kept from her about her father, helping the young agent discover more about her identity as a Mexican-American woman and help her find her moral compass.
