We follow children like Olga and Freddy, nine-year old Hondurans, who are desperately trying to reach their parents in the US.; children like Jose, a ten-year old El Salvadoran, who has been abandoned by smugglers and ends up alone in a Mexican detention center; and Kevin, a canny, streetwise fourteen-year old Honduran, whose mother hopes that he will reach the U.S. and send money back to her. These are stories of hope and courage, disappointment and sorrow. They are the children you never hear about; the invisible ones.

| About.comJennifer MerinInvestigates illegal immigration and child labor in a very human way. We ride freight trains with teenagers trying to get to the US for a better life. Exceptionally effective verite filmmaking from Rebecca Cammisa. |
| Los Angeles TimesReed JohnsonWithout resorting to any background narration, Which Way Home raises questions about cross-border immigration policies and the macro-economic causes that propel people from struggling countries to stream into developed ones. |
| User ReviewSarah KUnreal.....apparently up for an Oscar, and deservedly so! See this movie! |
| User ReviewJordan SCinematic, suspenseful, poignant--provides an insider's look at the tumultuous journey across the border, while illuminating the human cost of economic inequality and globalization on families and children. |

| User ReviewDora RThis documentary was absolutely heartbreaking... |
| User ReviewBarnaby Gonly movie/cinema I've ever cried to. |
| User ReviewOzzdeath SAbsoletely honest documentary - one of the best I ever seen. |
| User ReviewJonathan PNobody tells us this story... No words, heartbreaking! |
| User ReviewPenny LAmazing and inspiring movie- one of the most powerful movies that I have ever seen. I can't believe that The Cove beat this movie for the Best Documentary Oscar. The child subjects of this film are amazingly courageous and tenacious. The problems that they have to go through are heart wrenching. To top it off, the filmmakers made this movie on top of a moving train. The filmmakers didn't use a lot of fancy voiceovers or narration- the children speak for themselves and for the most part tell their own stories. |
