Chilli Controversy: #LadyChiles

Available for over a year

A national chilli dish in Mexico was served up this week with a side order of angry debate after a maid was filmed apparently taking more than her share of dinner. Her employer filmed the moment the maid was confronted and the video was posted to social media. Presenter Anne-Marie Tomchak finds out why thousands have been angrily tweeting #LadyChiles. And we look at the satirical video ‘Armagayddon’ which was released by an Irish gay rights group and marked the beginning of the countdown to the referendum on same-sex marriages in Ireland. Anne-Marie discusses the importance of social media in the debate. And we find out why social media restrictions on journalists in India have ignited the trend #TwitterPasswords. Anne-Marie Tomchak is joined in the studio by fellow Irish BBC journalist Ciara Riordan, and from Mexico by the BBC correspondent Will Grant. The programme was produced by India Rakusen.
