Vanguard - Mexico's Death Train
Synopsis
Intimate, in-depth exploration of the issues people are talking about.
Crossing the border between Mexico and the United States is only the final step in the treacherous journey that more than a million illegal immigrants attempt each year. Every day hundreds of desperate Central Americans climb atop "El Train de la Muerte," a freight train that offers a free--but potentially deadly--ride through Mexico. Correspondent Mariana van Zeller visits a shelter for those who've been maimed in falls from the train, and follows a group of young female El Salvadorans willing to risk everything they have to make it to America, where they hope to find jobs and send money back home to their families.
