Primer ImpactoUnivision<br />
Primer Impacto is a newsmagazine that reflects the reality of the<br />
world’s current events with an emphasis on the power of images<br />
as a vehicle of communication. Key news stories covered in 2014<br />
included the capture of “El Chapo Guzman” and the realities<br />
of life for undocumented immigrants in the U.S. The show also<br />
includes stories that evoke the “Magic Realism” that Hispanic<br />
Culture has to offer. In addition, Primer Impacto covers entertainment,<br />
sports, weather, social media, fashion, and human-interest<br />
stories that touch the hearts of viewers. The range of coverage<br />
allows the show to serve a social purpose unique in Hispanic<br />
Television: dozens of missing children, fugitives, and families<br />
looking for loved ones have been found. And thanks to the<br />
generosity of viewers, hundreds of sick patients have received a<br />
helping hand.<br />

Firestone and the Warlord<br />
An investigation spanning 10 months and four continents, “Firestone<br />
and the Warlord” unraveles the secret dealings between<br />
an iconic American business and one of the 20th century’s most<br />
notorious war criminals, Charles Taylor. The reporting, based on<br />
hundreds of previously unreported corporate records, shows how<br />
Firestone agreed to pay millions of dollars to Taylor in exchange<br />
for being able to operate the plantation and how Taylor turned<br />
the plantation into a base used to wage a war that claimed tens of<br />
thousands of lives and stunted the future of Liberia.<br />

Hunted: The War Against Gays in Russia<br />
In Putin’s Russia, gay people are hunted like animals, targeted by<br />
vigilantes who believe they have the support of the public, the<br />
church, and the regime. “Hunted” reveals this brutality, exposing<br />
the upsurge in homophobic violence and exploring the motivations<br />
of those leading the attacks. The backbone of the film is<br />
astonishing insider access to the largest anti-gay vigilante network<br />
in Russia. In over thirty cities this group routinely entraps gay<br />
men on the internet, luring them to meet up in order to attack<br />
them physically and psychologically. The vigilantes call this a<br />
“safari” and routinely post “trophy videos” on social media to<br />
humiliate and publicly out their victims. Hunted also examines<br />
the central role of the church and the state in triggering this wave<br />
of violence. The film, a raw and intimate view of hatred, has had a<br />
significant public impact in the US and has played a leading role<br />
in ensuring public discussion on the issue of gay rights in Russia.<br />

The Newburgh Sting<br />
When the FBI announced in July of 2009 that they had thwarted<br />
a terrorist attack by four Muslim men just outside of New York<br />
City, newspapers around the country celebrated the bust as a<br />
law-enforcement coup. The four “terrorists” were convicted and<br />
sentenced to 25 years in prison, but their attorneys insisted that<br />
the defendants were just four petty criminals entrapped by a paid<br />
undercover informant sent out to infiltrate mosques. The first part<br />
of the film shows how the informant systematically enticed four<br />
desperate men into committing a crime. After the dramatic arrest,<br />
the film then takes a shocking turn as FBI spokesmen claim on<br />
camera that the arrest came from monitoring a Newburgh terrorist<br />
cell for a year. The last third of the film uses interviews with<br />
some of the most prominent experts in US/Muslim relations and<br />
former FBI officials to show that cases like Newburgh are part<br />
of a nationwide FBI strategy aimed at spreading fear in part to<br />
ensure that the Bureau’s budget stays fully funded.<br />
