Once Mexico to premiere new Documentary series ‘Del Otro Lado’.

Alterna’TV announced the May 13 premiere of the 13-episode documentary series “Del Otro Lado”. Set to air on Spanish-language channel Once Mexico, the weekly half-hour series will give viewers an unprecedented look into the realistic lives of Mexican immigrants living in the U.S. Each week “Del Otro Lado” will talk to prominent industry leaders, including Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, Democratic congresswomen Loretta Sanchez and Hilda Solis, to discuss their roles with such issues as: the significance of Mexican American politicians and the decisive force of the Latin vote; the influence of Mexican art; the bi-national culture; the tenacity and hard work of immigrants; the preponderant expansion of the Spanish language and the important issue of being a Mexican in “the most powerful nation of the world.”

“Del Otro Lado will shed new light on the complex reality of what it’s like to be a Mexican immigrant living in the U.S.,” said Clemente Cabello, Executive Director of Alterna’TV. “We are very proud to offer a program of this caliber and remain committed to offering only the highest quality of Mexican programming.”
