SYNOPSIS.

Vilma and her three daughters flee the violence of their native Honduras to make one of the most dangerous trips that Central American migrants make in search of a better life. It is estimated that more than half a million people cross Mexico to the United States every year.
On their path, the family faces sexual attacks, kidnapping attempts and accidents of a journey that seems not to end, even when they reach the northern border.

The risks of the migration route are much dangerous for women who take it. 31% of women surveyed by MSF said they had been victims of sexual violence.

In their journey an unexpected encounter takes them to Reynosa, a border city with one of the most high levels of danger in Mexico, there Vilma and her family encounter new dangers and the constant uncertainty of not knowing if they will manage to cross to the United States.

Now Vilma and her family receive the psychological support of the MSF teams, while they wait together at the lodge for the final stretch of their trip.
Short film by Médecins Sans Frontières/ Doctors Without Border, illustrated by Herenia González, animated by Artlette Blanco and narrated by Vilma.
