Over the past year, Mexico has become the site of migrant caravans. The United States has witnessed the arrival of thousands leaving their home countries in search of a better life

Discovery en Español analyzes the origins of this phenomenon in CARAVANAS, the new documentary premiering September 22 at 9pm E/P in the United States. 

Following the actual route of thousands of people who emigrate from Central America and walk through Mexico to reach the United States, the one-hour special portrays the humanitarian work of Rubén Figueroa, a member of the Mesoamerican Migrant Movement; Gabriela “Gaba” Cortés, Ángeles de la Frontera’s Cultural Activities Coordinator; and Estela Jiménez, an activist and migrants’ supporter. They have all witnessed the caravan drama up close both in Mexico and the United States and have helped migrants fleeing violence and misery in a desperate search for a better life.
