East Rutherford, NJ – Good Afternoon!
It’s Sunday afternoon and I’m currently at MetLife Stadium where in the second quarter, the scrappy but hard luck New York Jets (4-7) are losing 17-14 against the recent downward spiraling Kansas City Chiefs (6-5).
With that said, here’s a message from my friends over at Fusion TV…
From the changing face of America to the upheaval of the status quo in Washington, America is in transition—and no one is more equipped and experienced than Jorge Ramos to examine the forces driving this change.
In his new FUSION series, “Real America with Jorge Ramos,” award-winning journalist Jorge Ramos brings his passion, curiosity, and fearless brand of journalism to bear as he profiles the people who are breaking down barriers and shaping our collective future.
In each episode Ramos asks provocative questions of the disrupters, dreamers, dynamic-thinking Americans who are on the cutting edge and making a difference in this uncertain time. In the newest installment airing Tuesday, December 5 at 10pm, Ramos explores the remarkable life of world-renowned brain surgeon Dr. Alfredo Quinones-Hinojosa, who entered the United States as an illegal immigrant.
Truly living the American dream, Dr. Alfredo Quinones-Hinojosa’s journey over the boarder took him from migrant farmer to saving lives, both in the operating room and in his research laboratory. Dr. Quinones, or Dr. Q, invites Jorge to watch as he performs brain surgery on a patient who will be awake the entire time. When you learn that Dr. Q started his life in Mexico living in poverty, his rise to success is even more incredible. It’s a story that’s even piqued the interest of some Hollywood producers.
“Real America with Jorge Ramos” is a FUSION original series. Jon Meyersohn has joined FUSION as the executive producer of “Real America with Jorge Ramos.” Meyersohn is a veteran television news producer who has reported award-winning stories from around the world.
