Kind World Season Starts With 'Lifelines': Stories Of Compassion At The Southern Border

Kind World begins its new season on October 8th with a special series featuring stories of kindness and compassion at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Producers Andrea Asuaje and Yasmin Amer travel to Brownsville, Texas and follow a dedicated group of volunteers across the border to Matamoros, Mexico. These volunteers are part of a network called Team Brownsville and they are nothing short of a lifeline for hundreds of asylum seekers waiting for their day in court. Since last year, these volunteers have been crossing the border twice a day, seven days a week to provide food and water to people who've been forgotten by policymakers on both sides of the border.
The series will also feature a woman who's empowering asylum seekers to educate children at a makeshift school at the camp and the story of a Zimbabwean woman who's healing from her own trauma by helping other refugees.
