Los Invisibles

Each year thousands of migrants are kidnapped, raped and murdered by the Mexican authority or local gangs throughout their journey in Mexico to get to the U.S. This heartbreaking documentary reveals stories of one of the most dangerous journeys in the world. The torture these people go through is no new thing but watching the interviews gives us a profound touch of reality. The figures are distressing, in a period of 6 months, 10,000 people have been found dead, 9 out of 10 come from Central America, and 6 out of 10 people are sexually abused. Hopefully, the Mexican government will do more to protect the migrants because to not do so, is inhuman. 
A must-see short film.
