Riding the success of last season’s Black in America documentary series, CNN this fall will roll out a two-part documentary series entitled Latino in America. The series will air in October.
The series will be hosted by CNN’s Soledad O’Brien, who also hosted the Black in America series.
“We found out with Black In America that many people who watched were not only black but Hispanic as well,” Mark Nelson, vice president and senior executive director for CNN Productions, told Multichannel News. “This is the fastest-growing minority group in America today, but we don’t understand how really diverse this group is. The show focuses on how Latinos are changing America and how America is changing Latinos.”
Celebrities including Edward James Olmos, Eva Longoria Parker, Jesse Garcia and Lupe Ontiveros will be featured. A Spanish-language version of the series is also planned.
