cesa.jpg, image/jpeg, 671x479 Community Education for Social Action (CESA) presents the documentary Los Invisibles.

Amnesty International and Mexican actor and producer Gael Garc?a Bernal, launched today a series of films depicting the plight of irregular migrants in Mexico.

The four films, called The Invisibles (Los Invisibles) record the journey of hundreds of migrants from the border between Guatemala and Mexico on their way to the United States. The premiere of The Invisibles coincides with the start of this year?s Global Forum on Migration and Development, taking place in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

Every year thousa

nds of migrants are kidnapped, raped and sometimes murdered in Mexico. Driven by grinding poverty and insecurity back home, they travel through Mexico in hope of reaching the USA with its promise of a better life. But all too often their dreams are turned to nightmares.

The Invisibles exposes the truth behind one of the most dangerous journeys in the world and reveals the untold stories of the people who make the journey north through Mexico.

?The Mexican authorities must protect migrants in our country. The law must protect us all, whether nationals or foreigners. It?s essential Mexico sets a good example in the way it treats migrants?, said Gael Garc?a Bernal.

During several interviews with migrants, Amnesty International registered the experience of abuses against the migrants. Many are raped, kidnapped or killed by criminal gangs, or harassed by public officials. They were the stories of men and women who, despite the dangers, were determined to make it to the USA.
