In this week's episode of Unscripted, Silvia Viñas speaks with journalist Levi Bridges about his recent story, Tunéame la nave. In the episode we got to know Mauricio Hernandez, a man who came to the US from Mexico hoping to work in TV and on cars, and ended up doing both on the MTV reality series Pimp My Ride. He lived in the US for over a decade, but after returning to Mexico to start a spinoff series in Spanish he was denied reentry.

We spoke with Levi about what drew him to Mauricio's story, and how he sees it in relation to his ongoing research into stories of migration across the US-Mexico border.

The Innocence Project is a nonprofit association that works to exonerate inmates through DNA testing and has helped to free 177 innocent people since it was founded.
