NEW TRAVELOGUE
Sue Perkins: Along the US-Mexico Border
Monday & Tuesday, BBC1 HD, 9 pm
The land border between the United States and Mexico became a political powder keg during the 2016 US presidential election, as Donald Trump campaigned on a platform of building a wall to keep out illegal immigrants.
News coverage of the towns and cities on the border is often dominated by lurid stories of smuggling and trafficking – but for those who live there, that’s just a fraction of the tale.
In her new two-part series, Sue Perkins travels along the border, from west to east, to meet the locals and get a flavour of what life is like behind the headlines.
