The “Beyond Barriers” pilot was well-received by audiences at its debut on PBS in December 2020, and so now Alpha Films has started developing a 3-part limited docuseries. This second episode (working title “The Road to Well-being”) is the story of changemakers who are determined to create a healthier future. They come from a variety of places, from the U.S.-Mexico border to Arizona inner cities to islands overseas, and begin a quest to improve the well-being of vulnerable communities and beyond.
