STORY SYNOPSIS: JONATAN MATAMOROS, his wife SARA ARTIAGA and their son JOSE MIGUEL ARTIAGA from Honduras endured many hardships on their journey to the United States; a frigid river crossing, walking and hitchhiking through Mexico and hunger. ”We suffered and were hungry. No one told us the risks.” says Jonathan. On December 16, 2018 they made a spontaneous decision to cross the U.S./Mexico border with others to be detained. They were seen crossing by a photojournalist who said they looked quite sad, possibly realizing their chances of gaining asylum were slim and hopes for a future in America would most likely result in deportation to the country they spent so many months fleeing.
