Spice up your Monday with Chiliheads on WITF TV

A peculiar love story between humans and chili peppers that’s got some kick!
A journey as playful as it is evocative, Chiliheads takes us on the Hot Pepper Road to five countries — Canada, the United States, Mexico, Trinidad and Tobago and India — to meet lovers of hot peppers known as ‘chiliheads’ and discover the cultures that celebrate the consumption of this unique spicy fruit. By engaging farmers and chefs, scientists, historians and even psychoanalysts, the film deconstructs the incredible history of hot peppers and our crazy relationship to them, which include pushing the limits to produce the strongest pepper in the world.
Watch Chiliheads on WITF TV on Monday, September 4 at 9pm. Or anytime you want with WITF Passport and the PBS or WITF app!
