    A tale as old as America. Some 1963 history for y’all:

    The Fugitive s1e7

    Kimble and a group of farm workers are surrounded in the hills by a huge fire and he must reveal that he’s a doctor in order to save the life of a pregnant, illegal immigrant.

    More plot details from that page:

    Dr. Kimble, harvesting onions at an onion field, faces hostility from the other farm workers. A number of them are Mexican laborers who are suspicious about his presence - after all, he doesn’t look like one of them. The workers are recruited to help fight a forest fire. When a pregnant woman starts to feel labor pains, the nurse discovers she can’t have a natural delivery. They need an obstetrician to perform a cesarean section. But with fire all around them, and the roads blocked, it’s impossible to get to a hospital in time.

    Edit: It’s all just a little bit of history repeating.
