JETBLUE

A Taste of Home

Problem: Washington Heights has more Dominicans than anywhere outside the Dominican Republic. For many families, home was out of reach.

Solution: A Taste of Home. We said we were making a documentary. Instead, whole families got free flights home.

How: Undercover documentary production in Washington Heights.
