As it is eternally written. In the name of

the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

God bless you all.

This is the word of God,

as it is written.

How much is it?

- The toilets are free!

- Let's figure out a price, otherwise...

Come on, let's go.

There are no guards, no checkpoints.

You don't need a passport here.

Perhaps all borders should be like this.

I wonder if he crossed here...

on these rafts...

among friends.

Without a doubt...

the one thing we know about the man

with the Dayani Cristal tattoo...

is that he was not alone.

He would show up smiling.

When he wanted to borrow something...

I would see him come

through the door, smiling.

I knew he needed something

so I would start smiling too.

That was how he was, always smiling.

He was the same with children

as he was with adults.

His little girl meant a lot to him...

because she was his only daughter -

the other two were little boys.

Yohan was good at making friends.

He was the kind of person

who liked having lots of them.

He was humble and hardworking...

and he really liked having friends.

Every day he went to work with crops...

such as corn and beans.

We often came here with Yohan to cook.

His favorite thing

was to bring a chicken.

He was in charge of plucking it

and everyhing. I did the cooking.

After, we would go

to the thermal baths nearby.

We'd bathe there for a while.

In the evening when it got late,

we went home.

When he was little...

we didn't live together.

He grew up with his mother...

but he always visited me...

because I worked

in a small stall in Tegucigalpa.

I sold avocados, bananas, mangoes...

melons and watermelons...

and all kinds of fruit like that.

Right now you could say...

that very few people

have enough to survive on.

Good afternoon.

I'd like to change quetzals for pesos.

How many?

360, I think. I'll just check.

Yes, 360.

360 times 1.5.

That comes to 540 pesos.

- 540 pesos.

- Great.

- Thank you.

- Welcome.

Bye.

He had to travel with enough money

to pay the smuggler.

1,500 dollars.

It was probably everything he had.

Yohan made the journey

mainly because...

he felt he had very little money.

In fact...

he had some debt problems.

He said he was going to make money

so we could live better.

He didn't want me to suffer.

But I told him it didn't matter.

I would have gone hungry.

I only wanted to be with him.

Here migrants become easy prey.

Everyone knows that you need money

to cross to the north.

The bodies of 58 undocumented men

and 14 women were found...

bullet-ridden in this warehouse,

en route to the USA.

The citizens from Honduras,

Brazil, El Salvador and Ecuador...

were intercepted by members
