This September, WORLD Channel will feature robust stories for Latinx/Hispanic Heritage Month showcasing diverse people, cultures and circumstances. Also this month, we honor the many lost but never forgotten on September 11, 2001. Watch along with WORLD and reflect on how, through our similarities and despite our differences, we can all come together and celebrate what makes us proud to share a home.
The Unafraid
Banned from attending Georgia’s top five public universities and from paying in-state tuition at other public colleges in the state, DACA students like Alejandro, Silvia, and Aldo unite through their activist work with an immigrants’ rights group. A humanizing portrait of the undocumented, we learn of their struggles as working families support their children in pursuit of their dreams.
Changemakers

Delikado
Palawan is a tropical island paradise and one of Asia's tourist hotspots. But for a tiny network of environmental crusaders struggling to protect its spectacular forests and seas, it is a battlefield. Delikado follows three land defenders as they brave violence, death threats and murder while trying to stop politicians and businessmen from destroying the Philippines’ last ecological frontier.
