'The Casagrandes Movie' takes its main characters to Michoacán, Mexico

The Nickelodeon show "The Casagrandes" has been off the air for the couple of years, but the family is now back on-screen — this time in movie form.

"The Casagrandes Movie" is streaming on Netflix. It starts with the character Ronnie Anne turning 12, and looking forward to spending her summer at the skatepark. But, her mom has a different idea: a trip to visit family in Michoacán, Mexico.

Lalo Alcaraz is a co-writer and cultural consultant on the movie. He’s also a cartoonist and the first artist-in-residence at the Arizona State University California Center. He's also done work with ASU’s School of Transborder Studies.

He joined The Show to talk about "The Casagrandes Movie."
