There are seven continents in our world. It makes sense that some have many countries with borders that go around the different areas and others do not for logical reasons. There are ways to identify some borders with natural geographical features like rivers, mountains, and canyons. The continent of Africa has two things in common with the continent of South America. They share the Atlantic ocean between them and they have deserts.
In contrast, Africa has some differences with South America. Africa has 54 countries and South America has 12. Another thing that is different about these two countries are the languages. South America speaks Spanish and Africa has 140 different languages. These continents are important to the world.
Exploitation by smugglers. Dehydration in the desert. The danger of being struck by trains. These are just a few of the dangers facing thousands of children from Latin America who travel great distances on top of freight trains to get to the United States. This film looks at the personal side of immigration through the eyes of several of these unaccompanied migrant children.
What do immigrant stories tell us about Borders?
