Descrizione

Sue Perkins brings her unique blend of humour and compassion to this extraordinary journey along one of the most contentious borders in the world.In the news coverage of the US, Mexico is full of drug trafficking, violent cartels and desperate migrants - and of course the wall. Sue Perkins has heard everything about the region but she wants to know what life is really like for ordinary people on both sides of the border. She travels 2,000 miles from the Pacific Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico, criss-crossing between these two great countries, to meet those who call the borderland home.

Episode 2

Sue is half-way along the border in the Mexican city of Juarez - essentially one half of a super-city, adjoining El Paso in Texas, but divided by the border. It's also separated by a 57-mile section of border wall. Thousands of people come and go across the border every day, inhabiting both worlds.Sue meets a group of professional women who are living proof that people can take pride in what both sides of the border have to offer. They live and work in El Paso, but cross into Mexico several times a week to train with their horses, as part of a sport that strikes fear into Sue's bones.
