Unaccompanied children cling to the roofs of freight trains barreling through Mexico. The camera captures their faces, etched with a blend of desperate hope and journey-worn exhaustion.

Filmmaker Rebecca Cammisa follows them, documenting perilous encounters with gangs, harsh conditions, and the fragile moments of childhood that persist amidst the ordeal of migration.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film’s power lies in its unflinching, direct gaze, offering no commentary beyond the children’s own words and experiences. It is a visceral, heart-wrenching portrait of resilience and risk.

What lingers after the credits is the profound weight of their journey—a stark, intimate look at a crisis often reduced to headlines. The children’s courage and vulnerability redefine the abstract term 'illegal migration.' — MovieFinder Editorial
