Description

13 minutes and more than 135 million viewers.

Sunday's Bad Bunny Super Bowl halftime show was dressed with several cultural and political messages and symbols. Some more pronounced - such as the parading of the Puerto Rican flag - others more subliminal - like the use of electrical poles or white lawn chairs.

Host Caryn Ceolin speaks to Juan Carlos Rocha Osornio, Associate Professor at the University of Toronto, to decode all the symbolism throughout the performance, and the cultural impact this halftime show will have during one of the most delicate, political times in American history.
