Visions 2017 celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month

Tuesday, October 3, 2017
Visions 2017 celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month with a look at culturally relevant stories in Philadelphia. With Puerto Rico suffering from Hurricane Maria, learn how a group has formed to offer some relief.

We meet a local woman impacted by the uncertainty of DACA and the laws regarding immigration. See how Jose Garces is trying to help those making the transition to a new country.

Sports have always brought people together. Philadelphia's Unity Cup is a soccer tournament where teams represent their nation. Plus, we visit the Philadelphia Phillies and their lineup with Latino flare and international handball superstar Wally Amaro is giving back to the neighborhood where he grew up.

Visions airs Saturday, Sept. 30 at 7:30 and Monday Oct. 2 at midnight.
