This week’s Gamechanger on Americas Now is named Jorge Parra, but he’s more well-known by his name as a hospital clown, Mondongo. The idea to treat patients with humor actually comes from a movie. otorious drug kingpin Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman is known for heading one of the most powerful criminal organizations in the world, from his base in Mexico. In his home state of Sinaloa, he is seen as a community leader though, and enjoys folk hero-style status. The award-winning film chronicles the life of Alberto “Chino” Carias, the leader of a vigilante “colectivo” from the slums of Caracas, Venezuela. Once accused of robbing banks and killing cops, Chino sheds his outlaw reputation and takes a post in Hugo Chavez’s government. But when the the country’s economy collapses, Chino clings to his role as saint and executioner.
