The River -
connected: a search for unity

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.

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.
