Mucho Mucho Amor: The Legend of Walter Mercado (2020)

Every day for decades, extravagant Puerto Rican astrologer, psychic, and gender nonconforming legend Walter Mercado charmed the world with his televised horoscopes. Equal parts Oprah, Liberace, and Mr. Rogers, Walter reached over 120 million viewers at his peak, enthralling the Latin world with sequined capes, opulent jewelry and horoscopes that shared a message of love and hope to his devoted viewers. Then, he mysteriously disappeared. 'Mucho Mucho Amor' captures Walter's final two years, when the pioneering icon grappled with aging and his legacy, and prepared for one last star-studded spectacle.

Refreshingly Positive!

I did not know a great deal about Walter Mercado. I am so grateful to have found this documentary, on Netflix. It is just a beautiful story of the life of a beautiful, artful soul. I wish, for every unique child to be loved & supported the way Walter's mother did. Every person interviewed seemed to say that he made them feel special, positive, important & uplifted. What a gift!
