Hear the incredible story of one of the immigration battle's youngest victims. Nazario recounts the odyssey of a Honduran boy who risked his life jumping on and off El Tren de la Muerte (The Train of Death) and braving the Rio Grande to reunite with his mother in the U.S. Enrique embarked on a dangerous trek, evading the Mexican police, immigration authorities and local gangs. Nazario spent three and a half months retracing Enrique's journey through Central America and Mexico, meeting migrants like Enrique and the people and organizations who help and protect them.
