by Timothy Wolfer, USA, 2019, 1 hour and 25 minutes, documentary. It describes a group of transgender women hiking thousands of miles from Central and South America to the United States to seek political asylum. Participation in festivals: 4.

Three young transgender women from El Salvador and Honduras - Valentina, Johanna and Chantal - travel through Southern Mexico within the high-profile “Migrant Caravan”. They develop a deep friendship as they walk and hitch rides northwards; coping with long journeys, limited funds, and regular harassment. They team up with other trans girls – including Sinay – along the route, and integrate within the caravan’s LGBTQ community.
