Sinopsis
Every year, hundreds of thousands of migrants make their way along the trail running from southern Mexico to the US border. Gustavo’s gunshot wounds from Mexican police, which have achieved abundant press attention, might just earn him a ticket out of Nicaragua. Meanwhile in the Arizona desert, anthropologist Jason painstakingly collects the trail’s remains before nature or the US border patrol erase their existence forever.
