Mario is a 19 year-old boy who had to flee his home in El Salvador due to the violence of the gangs. His story represents the stories of hundreds of thousands many more victims of forced migration in in the Northern Triangle countries.

A short documentary that illustrates forced migration and sheds light on Asylum Access wonderful refugee work through Mario’s story. Mario and his mother are 2 out of hundreds of thousands of people who are fleeing violence in the Northern Triangle countries each year. When families first arrive to Mexico to seek safety, they face many challenges. If they have not yet received refugee status, they have no access to basic rights, including work, education and medical care. This is why organizations like Asylum Access Mexico are so important.
