Connected: A Search for Unity

The River

Season 1, Episode 4 of 6

Laredo, Texas. Home to the largest inland port in the USA, Monty visits people whose lives are shaped by their proximity to the Rio Grande, which has long been the United States Mexico border. For Maria and her 7 year old daughter, after months of struggle, hunger, fear, violence, and kidnapping, this river symbolized the last obstacle in the way of her dreams of a new life of opportunity and security. For others, it represents the only thing protecting the USA from cartels, drugs, corruption and violence. Yet people in this town are committed to a life of compassion, understanding and love.
