Sept. 24, 2018 – The latest CBSN Originals documentary, examining the mass exodus from Puerto Rico a year after Hurricane Maria, is the most-watched CBSN Originals premiere to date. CBSN has now streamed 25 Originals documentaries, and the series has driven more than nine million streams. The new documentary is also airing on CBS affiliates across the country beginning today, and is the first in the series to do so.

In “Puerto Rico, The Exodus: After Hurricane Maria,” which debuted live on CBSN on Sept. 23, CBS News correspondent David Begnaud took viewers back to Puerto Rico a year after Hurricane Maria to examine how the storm’s devastation turned a years-long economic crisis and migration from the island into a full-blown exodus.

Begnaud has delivered extensive, award-winning coverage of the plight of Puerto Rico since the storm first struck. In this CBSN Originals documentary, he explores whether Puerto Rico will ever fully recover from Hurricane Maria as it continues to lose its most vital resource: its people.
