With all the movies and series that have been made lately about entrepreneurs who started many of the most famous and powerful technology companies in the world, why not make one about a Latino who reinvented a snack?

And while it may soundWith all the movies and series that have been made lately about entrepreneurs who started many of the most famous and powerful technology companies in the world, why not make one about a Latino who reinvented a snack?

The result feels more like a Hallmark drama than a tasty cinematic treat.… Expand
