The OG Tupac: Burn It All Down | 93

About this episode

The episode explores Tupac Amaru II's journey from a privileged life to leading a rebellion for Indigenous rights.

In Part One, Tupac Amaru II realized his cushy lifestyle came at the price of exploiting his own people and vowed to make a change. But when his fight for Indigenous rights fails in the courtroom, he decides to light a match and ignite a full-blown rebellion. Now Tupac’s on a mission to win hearts and minds – even if it gets violent. But the price of change is steep, and if Tupac wants to build a new future, he’ll have to risk everything – even his life.
