ABC’s Promised Land debuts tonight on ABC. In television and film, we are always looking for representation in the Latinx community. Promised Land gives us a look at the lives of one particular family from a multi-generational view. From the moment that a group crosses over to the United States all the way to the moment where a now successful immigrant looks down on his own. In between that journey, a lot happens, including building a career and a family. With a new generation born, perspectives will obviously be different from their parents who had to risk everything to come to the United States. How do these different views of the world co-exist? How does that affect a family who at the time seems to have everything? Also, what happens when that status is threatened?

Promised Land includes a variety of characters that will allow us to explore the questions above. The way that they are all connected is a somewhat complicated family tree that is not so different from real-life families. For a proper setting, this series takes place in California’s Sonoma Valley. If you are familiar with the area you know how rich with vineyards this area is. A perfect setting as it is a lot of migrant workers that do a lot of the work tending to the grapes in the region that then are turned into some of the fabulous wine that we all love.

To get us ready for ABC’s Promised Land, LRM Online‘s Emmanuel Gomez spoke with Christina Ochoa. She is one of the series regulars that plays, Veronica Sandoval. The daughter of a wealthy vineyard owner that may be ready to step aside. Being that she is very intelligent and has grown up in the industry, Veronica believes that she is ready to take on that responsibility. Being that she is a Spanish actress she shares with us her experience in learning about the wine culture as well as the migrant experience. She shares with us some of her thoughts on her character and the direction of the series. It’s a great conversation that you can check out down below!
