For years I have been wanting to return to the story on migration and when the news of all the child immigrants flooding the border hit me I knew that the time was right to jump back on the saddle.
For some time I considered heading to Texas but I realized that with my credentials I would be filming across the street from a detention center and interviewing a bunch of Texans. Then I considered returning to Nogales Mexico but it occurred to me that it would only be a regurgitation of my first film on the desert crossers.
Of all the child migrants coming over the Texan border a high percentage of them are Honduran, particularly from San Pedro Sulla and Tegucigalpa. So after much internal debate and before losing my nerve I decided to buy a ticket and see whats kicking in Honduras.
So here I am, and here I will be for the next 5 weeks. I will be reporting from this blog as much as possible so stay tuned and there should be some deportee interviews on the way.
