Description:

One day a couple of years ago, 300 migrants were kidnapped between the remote, dustry border towns of Altar, Mexico, and Sasabe, Arizona. Over half of them were never heard from again. Oscar Martinez, a young writer from El Salvador, was in Altar at the time of the abduction, and his story of the migrant disappearances is only one of the harrowing stories he tells after spending two years travelling up and down the migrant trail from Central America to the US border.
