Residen Alien (2015)
Documentary by Naiara Eizaguirre-Paulos (Documentary) Director, Cinematographer and Editor Carlos was born in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, reportedly a city with the world's highest homicide rate outside a war zone. At the age of 15, Carlos saw his best friend shot dead in front of him. As a witness, he would have to join the gang responsible or be murdered. Carlos chose an alternative yet almost equally dangerous path. He was one of 60,000 unaccompanied children to cross the U.S. border from Central America in 2014, fleeing drug cartels that used children as foot soldiers. Along their treacherous route they ride atop of La Bestia, the infamous freight train to the border. 52,000 were caught trying to cross the U.S border. Not Carlos.
