Unaccompanied child migrants travel across Mexico in hopes of crossing into the United States. They are under constant threat of falling off the freight trains they ride, being robbed by other migrants, taken advantage of by smugglers or being arrested and deported by immigration officers. While it gives a face to a topic still dominating American politics, it's matter-of-fact approach often resembles a travelogue. Still, essential viewing to begin to understand the reality of the so-called "migrant crisis".
