The Cast of Women in Blue on 1970s Mexico, Complex Characters & Women’s Rights

The cast of Apple TV’s Women in Blue joins Kyle Meredith to talk about the new series, which is inspired by true events and follows Mexico’s first female police force in 1970 after they discover their squad is nothing more than a publicity stunt to distract the media from a brutal serial killer. Listen now.

Bárbara Mori, Ximena Sariñana, Natalia Téllez, and Amorita Rasgado each dive into the minutia of the show, exploring the greater themes of feminism and hard-fought progress.

Mori begins by discussing how the narrative tackles a patriarchal system, how the cast and crew crafted the '70s setting, and the importance of Women in Blue having an all Hispanic cast. Sariñana then digs into the challenges and opportunities of portraying a character who is on the autism spectrum, while Téllez reinforces the importance of presenting the story to a modern audience. Finally, Rasgado gives her thoughts on the fire that drove the real-life group.
