The Torreon Massacre - a podcast by Allen Perez

Part 1 of You may not want to hear this; It's 1911 and the Mexican Revolution has just started. The oppressed rise up and decide that enough is enough.  Tired of privileges for the elite and foreigners and fueled by the patriotic spirit of revolution, a group of revolutionaries decide to take the city of Torreon. In doing so, they would go on to participate in one of the darkest episodes in Mexican History. An episode which would see Mexicans who desired reform, brutally attack and kill countless Chinese residents in the name of the Mexican Revolution. A chapter of history which has often gone overlooked until now.
