#RepresentationMatters: We Are Not From Here

Pulga, Chico and Pequena are aware of the dangers that surround them despite the warmth of their biological and found families. When a threat occurs, they flee, following the La Bestia route with their sights set for the U.S. border. Journey with these three friends as they navigate from Guatemala through Mexico and to the U.S. for their freedom.
