Southmost: Football and Life on the Border

Overview

Jorge Ramos and producer Jeremy Williams made numerous visits to Brownsville, Texas, the southmost city in the state and home to a unique high school football rivalry. The rivalry between Lopez and Porter High Schools is different not because of what happens on the field but because of the reality facing the players off it. Brownsville sits just two miles from the U.S. border and Mexico’s Matamoros, a city plagued by drug cartels and violence.
