The Oxford Children’s Rights Network is organising a screening of the film, "Which Way Home”
on Thursday, November 5th in the JCR Theatre, at St. Catherine’s College, 7:00 - 9:00 p.m.
The film follows several unaccompanied child migrants as they journey through Mexico en route to the U.S. on a freight train they call 'The Beast.' Director Rebecca Cammisa (Sister Helen) tracks the stories of children like Olga and Freddy, nine-year-old Hondurans who are desperately trying to reach their families in Minnesota, and Jose, a ten-year-old El Salvadoran who has been abandoned by smugglers and ends up alone in a Mexican detention center, and focuses on Kevin, a canny, streetwise 14-year-old Honduran, whose mother hopes that he will reach New York City and send money back to his family.
The film will be followed by a short discussion that builds on the theme we first visited in Week 2, Children in Migration, with tea and biscuits provided.
