Why Is Your Bottom So Dirty?

In this Netflix special, John Leguizamo takes on the role of a professor attempting to find a Latino hero for his son – which allows him to offer a sharp commentary on the history of the region. The show had a successful Broadway run last year  and is now on Netflix here.

And here is a trailer:
