Which Way Home
MCC THEATER
Each year, thousands of Latin American migrants travel hundreds of miles to the United States, with many making their way on the tops of freight trains. Roughly five percent of those traveling alone are children. As the United States continues to debate immigration reform, this documentary looks at the issue through the eyes of children who face the harrowing journey with enormous courage and resourcefulness. Rebecca Cammisa, 90 min., English and Spanish, 2009, USA. Co-sponsored by UCSB Library-UCSB Reads Program and the Women’s Center.
