Borderland. Episode 2
Description
The journey of discovery truly begins. In El Salvador, retired marine Randy Stufflebeam and liberal artist Alex Seel witness the immediate aftermath of a gangland shooting. It’s that level of violence that drove "their" migrant Maira Zelaya to the US. In Guatemala, Washington state farmer Gary Larsen and Arkansas Republican staffer Alison Melder work the same mountainous coffee plantation that Omar Lopez, the 13-yearold boy whose story they track, used to work. Finally, in Chiapas, Mexico, fashion blogger Kishana Holland and migrant rights activist Lis-Marie Alvarado join a nerve-wrecking jungle patrol of a special armed task force, set up to protect migrants from local gangs. Next, the medical examiner instructs the six to make their way to Arriaga, where they must face "La Bestia"—the train migrants call "The Beast"...
