America By the Numbers with Maria Hinojosa puts a human face on the demographic changes in the U.S. and looks at how the rising multicultural population is influencing our culture, our conversation and may impact the 2012 elections.

The program is produced by the Futuro Media Group and has been funded in part by the National Minority Consortia and the Ford Foundation, and will air on PBS on September 21, 2012 as a Need to Know Election 2012 Special Presentation.
