As the host of CNN's Special Investigations Unit, Soledad O'Brien sheds light on stories about communities that are under-covered in the press. This week, she presents her findings about Latinos in America, the fastest-growing segment of the United States population.

Latino In America, O'Brien's  thoughtful and nuanced documentary, looks at a slice of the approximate 51 million Latinos living in the U.S. who come from twenty Latin American countries, a plethora of ethnicities and many religious backgrounds. The two-part series is an attempt "to figure out what is the story of what happens to us when we get here, to America," O'Brien told My Latino Voice in an exclusive interview. "We try to tell some of those stories that many people don't know about."
