Lisa Ling's latest project, 'Our America with Lisa Ling,' is her most thought-provoking work yet.Ling has proven herself in the journalism world over nearly two decades in the business, from her start on Channel One and her stint on 'The View,' to her more recent work for National Geographic, 'Nightline' and 'The Oprah Winfrey Show.' But nothing comes close to how in-depth she's going on her new OWN series.
Each week, 'Our America' (Tuesdays, 10PM ET on OWN) introduces a taboo topic in our society, and then proceeds to break down the walls to get to the heart of the issues. From faith healing and people who believe you can pray gay away, to the transgender community, sex offenders, mail-order brides and those with debilitating drug addictions, Ling doesn't shy away from any topic, no matter how controversial it is.
But the real reason these episodes resonate, says Ling, is "there's hope in every one of them."
