America Divided – a documentary series highlighting the rise of inequalities in the U.S. In the “Out of Reach” segment, America Ferrera witnesses the difficulties for Central American refugees in the Rio Grande Valley in Texas. These refugees are hemmed-in by U.S. Border Patrol checkpoints, preventing them from receiving life-saving health care. Ferrera, whose parents and siblings are immigrants from Honduras, understands the challenges faced by new immigrants arriving to the U.S.
