ACROSS Synopsis: Filmed in Honduras, Texas, and Illinois, this four-part documentary series follows three women and their children who escaped abuse and violence in Honduras and Guatemala, and the Texas and Midwestern churches that experienced complete transformation in their hearts when they stopped seeing these families as news headlines and started treating them like brothers and sisters.

In this four-year collaboration, she led a team of producers, cinematographers, composers, and editors with decades of experience working with Oprah, Pixar, Marvel, CBS News, NBC News, PBS, and Discovery to bring the series to life.
The project was inspired by an episode of The Maybe God Podcast called Can Loving "Illegals" Save Our Souls? released in July 2019.
