- Summary:
- Henry Louis Gates, Jr. helps actors America Ferrera and Darren Criss uncover their immigrant roots-telling stories of revolutionaries in Honduras, a Dutchman who helped build New York City, and a young woman from the Philippines who brought her family to California against great odds. Along the way, family histories are brought to light-and America and Darren come to see themselves in a new way.
