Mexico: The Train to the Promise Land, the American Dream | Deadliest Journeys
Every year, more than a million people from the poor nations of Central American attempt to reach what some call the “impossible dream”; the United States. From their impoverished countries, the immigrants travel thousands of miles looking for a better life. It’s a journey fraught with danger. At the mercy of corrupt policemen, robbers, extortionists and extreme weather, barely two in five reach their Eldorado. On Mexico’s roads and railways, the illegal immigrants ride or walk, or try jumping onto moving freight trains, running the gauntlet of police and army checkpoints. Many are caught and repatriated; some die or are severely mutilated as they fall beneath the wheels of the very trains they hope will take them north to the USA. Our film follows these experiences and in particular the fate of two young Salvadorians, Jaime and Lupita, who are eloping to Texas. Theirs is an emotional roller coaster of hope and fear, as they face the journey’s hardships, recounted in large part through their own words. Without sensationalism, yet full of drama, a portrait of the incredible determination and courage of the illegal immigrants, as they suffer through the trials of an often turbulent route to what they hope will be a brighter future.

We have plenty of ICE and CBP waiting now, if you try illegally you will NEVER be allowed in.
This film is old. Not many are migrating north nowadays..
Si valdrá la pena poner la vida en riesgo por una vida mejor, es como meterte al narcotráfico para ser millonario. Sabiendo que puedes morir en el proceso.
NO ES CIERTO QUE NOS CASTGUEN SI ALOJAMOS A MIGRANTES. NO MALINFORMEN A LA GENTE

Now it’s 2025 feel bad for them most likely they have all been or about to be deported now
These Mexicans already have kids in college in the US this documentary is so old. They just keep re-uploading it. So much for new entertainment.
It is so sad that people in a country suffer because of corruption. They risk everything to enter a country illegally just to survive. God bless them.
How to change the language to English?
Mais pourquoi tu n'arrive pas à bronsville toi?
Je veux voir la fin de cette voyage
