Which way home
UNACCOMPANIED MINORS
While the USA continues to work on a barrier separating it from Mexico, Which Way Home looks at the more personal side of immigration through the eyes of children. Armed with determination and great courage, they fend off serious dangers as they struggle to reach the USA. The film traces unaccompanied children on their journey through Mexico towards the “Promised Land” in a freight train nicknamed “The Beast”. We follow children like Olga and Freddy, nine year-old Hondurans desperately trying to reach their parents in Minnesota. Or Jose, a ten year-old El Salvadoran abandoned by smugglers who ends up in a Mexican detention centre. Or like Kenny, another 14 year-old Honduran whose mother prays that he will get to New York and start sending money home to her. These are tales of hope and bravery, deception and sadness. Their heroes are the “invisible” people we never hear anything about.
