The Goodlands
connected: a search for unity

Kensington, North Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Set in a part of Philadelphia often referred to as "The Badlands," Monty finds himself immersed in the largest open air drug market in the United States, where thousands of needles, filth and waste are scattered across streets and parks, despite an unending cycle of efforts to curb the problem. Yet, from seemingly unfertile soil, arise stories of resilience, redemption, and extraordinary people working to help each other find love and unity.

Duration: 56 minutes and 43 seconds

About Connected: A Search for Unity:

CONNECTED: A SEARCH FOR UNITY is an intriguing new limited series with Monty Moran, former CEO of Chipotle Mexican Grill.

Moran travels to six communities to find people with unique and often unheard perspectives on life, culture, the environment, politics, immigration and social media.

In each episode, CONNECTED looks at the world through a different lens, and explores a novel vision for the country - one where a culture of empathy and understanding can grow and flourish, even in an era where discord is promoted.
