Description 'Passion, betrayal, violence and romance. These are the staples of a good ‘Telenovela’. But what does a kiwi, non-spanish speaking, 3rd generation latina have in common with this outlandish style of television? Funny, observant, absurd and charming Rich People Cry Too, and Other Things I Learnt from Telenovelas is a show that pays homage to the lavish world of Telenovela, while interrogating what it is to try to connect to a culture that you have never experienced.'
