WHAT WERE YOU DOING WHEN YOU WERE 13?

你記得你13歲時在做甚麼嗎？

Directed by Rebecca Cammisa, the documentary Which Way Home tells a story of children migrant who travelled all the way from different Central American countries like Honduras, Guatemala, Mexico, etc. by train.

Imagine what YOU were doing when you were 13? You probably were watching Pokemon at home, eating chips, drinking Pepsi, and wondering how you're gonna catch that Pokemon in your gameboy!

But these kids, they are risking their real lives to get to a country where they thought it'd be wonderful and full of hope, because they wanted to live a better life.

試想像自己13歲的時候，你是否舒舒服服地在家裡看《忍者亂太郎》，吃著果汁冰條，點算著自己珍藏的奇多圈，然後投訴菲庸沒有煮雞翅作晚餐？哪裡會有人想甚麼人生問題？

而在這部《Which Way Home》裡面，一班貧困的中美洲小朋友卻挺而走險坐上運貨火車的頂上跑到美國。為的，只是想自己和家人過一個更美好的人生。

諷刺吧......
