Fashion consumers are becoming more concerned about where their clothes are made. Mercado Global hopes to tap into those consumers. Their fashion combines modern design with Mayan tradition and the organization helps bring rural women out of poverty. We'll talk with the co-founder of Mercado Global.

Then, a preview of the 30th Chicago Latino Film Festival and of a concert highlighting the musical traditions of the Abrahamic faiths.
