A second wave of Cubans and hundreds of thousands of Latinos flee to the U.S., creating a debate over undocumented immigrants while the Latino influence is booming in business, sports, media, politics, and entertainment.

Series Description
The first major documentary series for television to chronicle the rich and varied history and experiences of Latinos, who have helped shape North America over the last 500-plus years and have become, with more than 50 million people, the largest minority group in the U.S. The changing and yet repeating context of American history provides a backdrop for the drama of individual lives. It is a story of immigration and redemption, of anguish and celebration, of the gradual construction of a new American identity that connects and empowers millions of people today.
