Walter Mercado
Walter Mercado mesmerized millions of Latino viewers over four decades. There wasn’t a Latino home (around the world) that didn’t have Mercado on their television at some point of the day and that includes my family. He died on Nov. 2, 2019 at age 87.
Story: Every day for decades, Walter Mercado—the iconic, gender non-conforming astrologer—mesmerized 120 million Latino viewers with his extravagance and positivity. Then he vanished from the public eye. Award-winning documentarians Cristina Costantini (Science Fair) and Kareem Tabsch (The Last Resort) direct Mucho Mucho Amor, produced by Alex Fumero (I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson).
Featured on-screen talent: Lin-Manuel Miranda, Eugenio Derbez, and Raul De Molina.
Mucho Mucho Amor will premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on January 24 and will debut on Netflix this summer.
