The Beast

Ran accross this brief documentary called Alex and the Beast.  It discusses the difficult journey many people take to make their to the US from Central America.  Thousands of young people each year climb onto the tops of cargo trains and hang on for their dear lives in search of a better life in the U.S.  During the process some die, and some make it to the U.S. to find that life here has its own set of problems and difficulties.  The biggest one being too far away from their homes, family and culture.
