While it may be set in a Latin world, “Promised Land” is about other immigrant stories, too, says Christina Ochoa, who plays the daughter of a vineyard owner.
“Every immigrant is different. Every story is different,” she says. “Everyone has such a different point of view and seeing that represented, where there’s no common denominator, is real diversity.”
A stunt coordinator, who’s Vietnamese American, told Executive Producer Matt Lopez the series reminded him of his parents’ story. “They didn’t come over a wall. They came in a boat, but it’s such a fundamentally American story. I like to say that ‘Promised Land’ is a Latino story, but it’s an American journey.”
In the new ABC drama, viewers get the perspectives of the rich vineyard owner, his children, the immigrants who work in the fields and the rivals who want to take him down.
Lopez says his inspirations are diverse, too: “Dallas” and “East of Eden.”
“J.R. Ewing was sort of my spirit animal,” he explains. “East of Eden,” which he read less than two years ago, unfolded “like a 10 o’clock soap. And yet, in terms of what it’s going for, it’s striving for so much more. That’s, I think, what ‘Promised Land’ really tries to do.”
