BACKGROUND
Inspired by the stories of the people who make the journey through Mexico, actor and director Gael García Bernal and director Marc Silver joined forces with Amnesty International to shine a light on the abuses migrants suffer. Told over four parts, the film they made is a shocking look at a world many people would rather you didn’t know about.
Every year tens of thousands of people leave their homes in Central and South America and journey north through Mexico, seeking a better life in the United States. Driven by grinding poverty and insecurity back home, these "invisible" migrants face kidnap, rape and murder in Mexico as they head for the US border with its promise of a better life.
