A photographic report of the road (5,000 kilometers long) that some 500,000 Central American migrants cross through Mexican territory each year in their desire to reach the United States.

A path of murderers, rapists and drug traffickers, but above all of victims, who suffer the worst humiliations and human rights violations.

A risk that migrants take in order to fulfill their American dream.

The authors of the book have maintained a correspondent in Mexico dedicated exclusively to the coverage of Central American migration that crosses this country on its way to the United States. In this way, migrants are victims of assaults and kidnappings perpetrated by corrupt authorities and groups linked to drug trafficking. Sexual abuse against men and women, assaults on the freight train that most people use for transport, cripples, dead people.... it is the daily life of those who put their lives at risk in order to achieve a better life.



This project denounces a situation that deserves to be called a humanitarian crisis, forgotten by the governments of Central America and Mexico. During the summer of 2010, the authors of the project travelled back to Mexico with the intention of conveying to the communities of origin and to the Mexicans themselves the seriousness of the situation of the migrants.
