Statement issued by the company (Announcement)<\/span><\/p>\n

HITN Media<\/strong>, the leading Spanish-language public media network in the United States, today announced the broadcast premiere of El Sue\u00f1o Americano<\/strong>, a special Spanish-language edition of the award-winning documentary Amerigo: The Search for the American Dream<\/em><\/strong>. The program will air on Sunday, September 20, at 8:00 p.m. EDT\/PDT on HITN TV<\/strong> and will be available to watch on demand via the HITNGo<\/strong> digital streaming platform beginning that day.<\/p>\n

El Sue\u00f1o Americano<\/strong> builds on the successful summer launch of Amerigo<\/em><\/strong> as part of programming marking the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence. Hosted by Emmy Award-winning producer, entrepreneur and bestselling author David McCourt<\/strong>, the documentary explores a question that continues to resonate across communities and generations: What does the American Dream look like today?<\/p>\n

McCourt spent two years traveling the country speaking with more than 1,000 Americans from all walks of life capturing a portrait of a nation in transition through stories of struggle, resilience, and optimism. The unscripted conversations reveal a country still working out what opportunity means today. Amid that search, new data points to nearly one in four new U.S. entrepreneurs being Hispanic or Latino<\/u><\/a>, up from roughly one in ten twenty-five years ago, underscoring that opportunity, while unevenly distributed, is being created and claimed.<\/p>\n

That progress is just one thread in a much larger conversation. The special invites Hispanic audiences to engage in broad, nonpartisan dialogue about opportunity, family, work, belonging, and the future of the country. While the American Dream is experienced differently by every individual and family, its questions\u2014and the hopes behind them\u2014are shared by Americans of every background.<\/p>\n

As part of HITN<\/strong>\u2019s Hispanic Heritage Month programming<\/strong>, the network will also feature a series of short, never-before-aired capsules filmed by the Amerigo<\/em><\/strong> crew. The exclusive capsules are drawn from Amerigo\u2019s ongoing companion campaign, AD250.com<\/a>, where over 5,000 Americans to date, more than a third Hispanic and Latino, have shared their video reflections of the American Dream. Airing throughout the month on HITN TV<\/strong> and available on the program\u2019s dedicated digital hub, the capsules offer viewers additional Hispanic stories and perspectives connected to the themes of El Sue\u00f1o Americano. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I set out to make Amerigo<\/em><\/strong>, I wanted to understand what the American Dream looks like today through the voices of people actually living it. What we found again and again is that Hispanic and Latino Americans are driving it. The idea that one in four new businesses in this country are being started by Hispanic and Latino entrepreneurs, up from one in ten a generation ago, is exactly what I hoped to capture when I set out to make this film,\u201d said McCourt.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe stories of Hispanic and Latino Americans are an important part of the American story. Amerigo<\/em><\/strong> highlights their contributions and aspirations, making it a natural fit for HITN<\/strong> and our commitment to telling stories that reflect our community,\u201d\u00a0said Michael Nieves, president <\/strong>and CEO <\/strong>of HITN Media<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Directed by Adam Mason and co-produced by David and Julie McCourt of McCourt Entertainment, El Sue\u00f1o Americano<\/em><\/strong> is adapted from Amerigo: The Search for the American Dream<\/em><\/strong>, which examines the evolving reality of the American Dream. The original film, presented by South Florida PBS and distributed nationally by American Public Television (APT), brings together unscripted interviews with everyday people and insights from notable voices to present a panoramic portrait of a country considering its future.<\/p>\n
