a report on the problems of Hondorans in Mexico, written by a Catalan who is making a film about them:
n Mexico, I came into contact with tough realities. I saw how people were discriminated against based on their place of origin, the colour of their skin, their gender, their language, etc. ...
At the same time, I discovered a strong sense of community. Something that made people look after each other as if they were one big family. I met some people who had a great ability to get by and be deeply connected with family, friends, joy and sadness in the face of structural and direct violence.they also have this video report from 2014 about the huge surge of underaged children from Central America into the USA under the Obama administration who essentially said: If you come, it's okay with us but only if you are a kid.
They were fleeing gang violence.
The bad news: the gangs came with them.
