Set at the end of the years 80 in Mexico, “Miss 89” It arrives as the series that will undoubtedly not only give people something to talk about in Hispanic society where beauty pageants are one of the most profitable businesses for television stations and entertainment media, but will also generate Performances by seasoned actors like Juan Manuel Bernal and Ilse Salas will rock the current agenda for real change in stereotypes.

While the freshness of new generations like Ximena Romo and a revealing performance with feminist overtones will put this issue on the map for a long time, Well, it’s time for physical beauty to take a turn of 180 degrees, but above all the perception of it.

In an EXCLUSIVE interview with Real America News and Grupo Impremedia, part of the cast of this project that is outlined in to be the great success of the season, specifically Juan Manuel Bernal and Ximena Romo, confessed what they hope this new proposal that is already available from this one will cause 27 in February on the PANTAYA platform for the entire United States.

“It would be good if we started by really questioning what these pageants are about, what is behind them, and everything that these women have to go through, and then go a bit further. I go further, and from there starting from how we see women and the role they have in this society, how they are used, and on our part as women question what we have learned, and starting from that start to change, since really that is the challenge, that our role in this world begins to be seen with different eyes, so I feel that this type of series contributes to change, although we know that it will not be overnight, but somewhere it has to start”.

XIMENA ROMO

A situation that for Bernal is very similar to What Ximena commented on, but if you want the general public to be more aware of the type of decisions you make regarding your life, while respecting the path you take.

“I agree with Ximena, but I don’t know if it makes sense or not for them to continue the contests if the main thing is awareness, which does not happen overnight, regardless of whether you are a woman or a man, then it is a whole process, but I think I would hope that this series generates an awakening, a take important awareness, open your eyes, be aware of what this type of decision implies, such as entering a beauty contest. I would advocate the freedom of each person to make their own decisions, but be aware of it”.JUAN MANUEL BERNAL
