Borderland. Episode 4

Description

The six Americans prepare for the final leg of their journey. In Culiacan, seat of the powerful Sinaloa drug cartel, they join migrants praying to the bandit saint Jesus Malverde for safe passage. They later trek to the notorious border town of Altar where medical examiner Dr Hess informs them they will next hike the desert. Altar is where "their" migrants – Omar, Maira and Claudeth – were last seen. ‘We are walking into the valley of death,’ says one flustered American. Altar’s local priest helps the group navigate the shops that cater to passing migrants. They stock up and then start the dreaded desert border run. With the day sweltering hot and night temperatures dropping below zero, how long can they last?
