As the United States continues to build a wall between itself and Mexico, “Which Way Home” shows the personal side of immigration through the eyes of unaccompanied children journeying through Mexico en route to the U.S. on a freight train they call The Beast.
The 83-minute film by director Rebecca Cammisa (“Sister Helen”) tracks the stories of migrants like Olga and Freddy, 9-year-old Hondurans who are desperately trying to reach their families in Minnesota; Jose, a 10-year-old Salvadoran who has been abandoned by smugglers and ends up alone in a Mexican detention center; and Kevin, a canny, streetwise 14-year-old Honduran whose mother hopes that he will reach New York City and send money back to his family. These are stories of hope and courage, disappointment and sorrow.
The screening will be followed by a brief panel discussion with members of the CLU faculty.
