The documentary film Niños en la Frontera
The documentary film Niños en la Frontera will premiere on Tuesday, April 11 at 10pm on Discovery en Español.
This is an investigative documentary film that addresses one of the most dramatic humanitarian crises in the Americas: the masses of children migrating from Latin America to the US risking their lives to be reunited with their families.
The production travels alongside several children during their actual trip, and documents three cases of families as they travel from El Salvador, Mexico, and Honduras, capturing every step of their journey and the attempt to change their fate.
“In a time of change and uncertainty, Niños en la Frontera showcases the human side of the immigration debate that is very personal for Latinos in this country. Through first-hand testimonies, the documentary exposes the reality of entire families taking unimaginable risks to see their hopes of reuniting come true”, said Eileen Piñeiro, Sr. Channel director at Discovery en Español.
This is a Discovery en Español production headed by Michela Giorelli and Javier Chuecos. It was made by Pacha Films under the direction of Guillermo Galdos.
