Peruanos en el Mundo

Peruanos en el Mundo (English: Peruvians Around the World) is a weekly travel documentary television series that premiered on February 7, 2015, on SUR Peru TV.[1] The series is hosted and created by Roberto Pazos, a journalist from Lima, Peru.[2] The program documents the lives and experiences of Peruvian immigrants residing in various countries around the world.[3] The series has continued airing continuously on SUR Peru TV since its premiere.

Background

Pazos arrived in the United States as an immigrant from Peru and initially worked various jobs, including selling newspapers and magazines at a newsstand in New York City.[1] He later held positions as a television reporter in Oklahoma and as an assignment editor for major news networks including CNN and Univision.[1] According to Pazos, the television series was created as the first program dedicated entirely to documenting the stories of Peruvian immigrants.[1]

Format and scope

According to CNN Español, the show follows Pazos traveling with a backpack and camera across multiple continents to document the experiences of Peruvians living abroad.[3] Each weekly episode features a different country and presents interviews, vignettes, and cultural segments about individual Peruvian immigrants and their communities.[1]

As of 2017, the program had interviewed approximately 200 Peruvian immigrants across more than 120 cities in over 50 countries.[4] Pazos told El Diario NY: "The best takeaway I got from my travels while filming my show is how despite the language barriers, the cultural challenges and even the economic difficulties, Peruvians around the world have managed to make it through."[1]

Production

Steve Hunsicker serves as Executive Producer of the series.[1]

Through SUR Peru TV, the program reaches approximately 1.2 million subscribers via DIRECTV and 600,000 subscribers via cable providers throughout the United States.[5]

From 2018 to 2020, the program was also broadcast on TV Perú, Peru's public national broadcaster, extending its reach to audiences throughout Peru's coastal, mountain, and Amazon regions through approximately 300 television stations nationwide.[6][7]
