“As Congress debates the future of illegal immigration, many Latinos are glued to the day-to-day dramas of undocumented immigrants that unfold on Spanish TV. They connect to telenovelas (soap operas) made in the United States that depict the conflicting and sometimes unsavory lives of undocumented immigrants.
Telemundo’s new novela, Tierra de Pasiones (Land of Passions), centers on two families who own rival wineries. Tierra touches on the difficulties of life as an undocumented immigrant and the abuses farmworkers suffer, including violence against women. As the show progresses, the two protagonists Valeria San Román (Gabriela Spanic) and Francisco Contreras (SaÚl Lisazo) become advocates for the rights of undocumented immigrants working in their families’ vineyards.”
