Mexique, un train vers l'eldorado - Les routes de l'impossible

00:00 Every year, hundreds of thousands of South Americans, driven by poverty, try to cross the border into the United States. 7:05 The train, a constant danger 15:00 First stop at Tierra Blanca 21:23 Everything for a job in the United States 32:02 The emotional separation of the group of migrants 34:45 They continue their trip by bus 36:56 Last stopover before the border in Matamoros 45:05 They cross the Rio Grande river 50:22 What happened to them? The trip begins in the Guatemalan village of Tecum Uman, separated from Mexico by the Suchiate River. Some 350,000 illegal immigrants attempt to cross the river each year. A real ordeal begins for them, at the end of which the luckiest will perhaps succeed in entering the United States. The price can reach $10,000. Fear is there, everywhere, omnipresent: fear of the authorities, of the corrupt police, of the gangs who control access to the trains. Rape, assault and forcible confinement are commonplace.
