HBO Doc Spotlights Child Migrants

NEW YORK: The new HBO documentary Which Way Home, which looks at the issue of immigration reform through the eyes of Latin American children who have traveled hundreds of miles to get to the U.S., will debut August 24 at 9 p.m.

Which Way Home follows several unaccompanied child migrants as they journey through Mexico to get to the U.S. on a freight train called The Beast. Director Rebecca Cammisa reveals some of the reasons kids resort to dangerous measures in hopes of a better life north of the border. The documentary also features the families of two young migrants who did not survive their journey.

HBO Documentary Films continues its summer series, presenting a new special every Monday night at 9:00 p.m. through September 7. Other August presentations include Boy Interrupted, The Nine Lives of Marion Barry, Fixer: The Taking of Ajmal Naqshbandi and Youth Knows No Pain.
