00:02
This was my father's kingdom.
00:05
A place of fairness.
00:07
But the queen Change everything Familia,
00:12
me too. We are here with Rachel Zeigler and celebration of
00:16
Snow White. I have to ask,
00:17
who is a fierce woman that inspires you?
00:20
I have to say my mom,
00:22
she's the best woman in the world.
00:24
She's the strongest person I know,
00:25
and she is the definition of fierce.
00:27
I love that you mention your mom because that's who my next
00:31
question is about. So your mom was born in Barranquilla,
00:34
Colombia. How have Colombian artists shaped you as a Latina in
00:39
Hollywood? I was very lucky to be able to see myself
00:43
growing up with Sophia Vergara,
00:45
with Shakira, you know,
00:48
very fortunate, even in the journalism sphere with Nina Garcia from
00:52
Barranquilla as well, to see those women in powerful roles was
00:57
very formative to me.
00:58
All of these powerful Latinas that it was possible for me to
01:08
Now you're from New Jersey.
01:09
I am. Have you ever been to Noche de Colombia?
01:12
Of course I've been to Colombia.
01:14
The empanadas in Noche de Colombia are so good,
01:17
and Noches is kind of the only place in New Jersey that
01:19
I'm able to find Posobon Manzana,
01:22
because that's my favorite flavor of Posoon is the Which is funny
01:27
considering the movie we're here to promote,
01:28
but it's I I I love all of the apple sodas all
01:32
throughout Latin America. I love that.
01:39
It's very sweet. I respect it.
01:40
Thank you. And I just want to be.
01:45
Fairest of them all.
01:49
You must flee into the woods.
01:53
Do you feel a responsibility to represent your your roots as an
01:58
I mean we all should,
01:59
no matter where we come from,
02:00
feel the responsibility to represent properly and to always show our strength
02:06
first and foremost as a people,
02:09
particularly with Latinas and so to have the next generation of
02:13
young Colombians of young Latinas of young people in general to see
02:18
Somebody playing a character regardless of where they come from,
02:21
regardless of what they look like,
02:22
because it's about what's within.
02:24
It's really, really important.
02:25
I feel very honored to be a part of something like that
02:27
and that is really who this film is for.
02:32
My parents always said this forest was a magical place.
02:36
Director Mark Webb envisioned making this version of Snow White for the
02:40
next generation. How did you take on your role with this
02:44
perspective? It was very clear to me from day one that
02:47
he was making a movie for his daughter,
02:49
and it was so important to him that she had this positive
02:52
role model and this person that she could look up to,
02:56
really excited for kids to get to see it and to sing
02:59
along. I need your help.
03:03
It's time to restore our kingdom.
03:09
You're Gen Z and you're an actress.
03:11
How do you think our generation is reshaping the industry?
03:14
I think Gen Z is very courageous.
03:16
I think they're very brave.
03:18
They have opinions. They're not afraid to share them.
03:20
And they're able to share them in a way that's accessible for
03:24
you know, both in this industry,
03:25
just in the real world,
03:27
there's a real shift in the dynamic,
03:29
and I think people will take us very seriously because we are
03:33
the ones who get to change the world.
03:35
All right, Me through family,
03:37
be sure to check out Snow White starting playing March 21st.
03:41
Rachel, thank you so much.
