Reflecting on new American communities 

As part of our continued watchlist for Hispanic Heritage Month, we're rewatching this United Shades of America episode on "Venezuelans in Florida” (Season 5, Episode 38). Kamau headed to South Florida, home of the largest number of Venezuelans in the United States, and met with newly arrived Venezuelans as well as established Venezuelan-Americans in the community.

Through his conversations, he gains a better understanding of the complicated crisis that displaced millions from their homes. It’s a story of loss, hope, and how the US system’s actions regarding Venezuelans here and abroad, has political implications for us all. Watch the episode on demand via CNNgo or HBO Max.
