The series is presented as a single episode under the title “America Ferrera”. It is classified simply as a programme, with its genre noted as an episode, and centres on a personal investigative narrative. In the core of the story, actress America Ferrera embarks on a quest to trace a link to a father she scarcely knew. Her journey is driven by a desire to understand the fragments of her family history that have remained out of reach. As she follows the limited clues left behind, Ferrera confronts the emotional distance that has characterised her relationship with her paternal side. The investigation forces her to piece together fragmented memories and scarce documentation, highlighting how little she knows about that side of her family. Her search leads to an unexpected revelation: a great‑grandfather who had taken up arms against the Honduran authorities. This ancestor is identified as the leader of several revolts directed at the Honduran government, a series of uprisings that repeatedly challenged the ruling regime. The discovery not only provides Ferrera with a tangible connection to her lineage but also places her family within a broader historical context of resistance, underscoring a legacy of defiance. Through this finding, the episode ties personal identity to a family history of political dissent.
