Bound To El Norte

September 11, 2000
Teotihuacan, State of Mexico, Mexico

Each year in the vast migration to the U.S.A. thousands of migrants like this Honduran boy stowaway through Mexico on the tops and sides of freight trains.  Some are children in search of the mothers who went before them.  At the end of more than 1500 miles aboard the freights, El Norte comes only to the brave and the lucky.
