Landing

Ernesto
Air Date: September 16, 2010 1:30pm
Details: EE Burritos is a hot spot for Latin cuisine and culture. A restaurant by day and a dance hall by night, the owner of the business is Ernesto Hernandez. Ernesto is a strong advocate for community development. Over the years Ernesto has rescued several women from Saskatoon's sex trade by giving them jobs. Today he is helping Johnny, a young man who has spent much of his adult life in jail. Johnny is Ernesto's newest employee, and his story of gang violence is a wake-up call for at-risk youth. During an intimate interview, Ernesto reveals his own history of violence: as a child soldier fighting against the government forces in El Salvador's brutal civil war. Ernesto is all about second chances.
An award winning, first person documentary series, Landing tells the intimate stories of Canadians with diverse backgrounds.
