This film follows the lives of several Central Americans who try to migrate to the U.S. through Mexico, as well as civilian and federal border patrol officers. To those emigrating from Honduras or Guatemala, Mexico represents the worst part of the journey. They risk being robbed, raped, or murdered by the police or other organized anti-immigration gangs. There's a rail system that speeds travel across Mexico, but it moves fast and many have lost their legs or lives trying to get on it or being thrown off it. It's sad to think that the way they're treated by U.S. representatives once they've crossed the border is actually an improvement from how they're treated in Mexico.
