A Crisis in Peru Signals Trouble for South America

A few weeks ago, when President Pedro Castillo of Peru attempted an illegal power grab and ended up in jail, the response was unexpected: Thousands of protesters took to the streets to support him, and some died.

Guest: Julie Turkewitz, the Andes bureau chief for The New York Times.
