Episode 4 of Destination Freedom.
“Enrique’s Journey”, is based on the Pulitzer Prize winning novel by Sonia Nazario as adapted by Anthony J. Garcia.
Mr. Garcia describes Enrique’s Journey as…
“…a beautiful, sad and inspiring testimony to the power of love and loneliness. Although love does not solve everything for Enrique, without it, he cannot survive.”
This story is about how Enrique, an immigrant from Honduras, faces unimaginable peril and navigates a hostile world filled with thugs, bandits, and corrupt cops. His dangerous journey forces him to cross rapid rivers and cling to the tops of freight trains as he travels to the United States in search of a better life for him and his family.
Our current show, now branded “Black Radio Days”, draws on the classic archives of the original “Destination Freedom” program. Since 1998, we’ve continued the tradition of showcasing the extraordinary lives of great African Americans and other people of color…past and present.
In our upcoming season, we will examine the intersection of law enforcement and communities of color by exploring the complexities of police shootings, immigration, and gender bias.
