Each year some 400,000 Central American migrants trying to reach U.S. through Mexico. Travel like flies on freight trains: There are no flights for illegals, no future ...At one point in Veracruz, there is a moment of hope "the patrons", some brave women are waiting for them at the foot of the roads to deliver food and drink as they fly by on the trains every day for the past 15 years. This film "The train of the Flies" created by Tassier Nieves Prieto and Fernando López Castillo has been awarded the prize for best short in the past Political Film Festival Round.
Click here to view the film. At about 9 minutes in you can see them standing by the trains and hanging food out for the people to grab. Its a rush to say the least.
Each day these women prepare 200 plus rations of food, for 15 years. Truly wonderful women, with large hearts.
