Photo Essay:
Joseph Sorrentino - Walking to America
Currently featured on Social Documentary Network is this insightful and at times harrowing photo essay by Joseph Sorrentino who has been documenting Central American migrants travelling through Mexico since 2012. When he began this project Sorrentino says, "the vast majority rode the cargo trains known as La Bestia: The Beast. Despite facing a horrific journey—it’s estimated that 80% of refugees were attacked, 60% of women raped, people are killed falling off trains—virtually every train had hundreds of people clinging to it."
On returning to Mexico in 2015 Sorrentino located the trains definitely empty. "Police, immigration retailers and even navy gadgets are actually stopping humans from using La Bestia, occasionally the usage of brutal techniques. These include pulling human beings off trains with lengthy hooks, the usage of Tasers or even shooting refugees. People are taking even more risky routes and literally walking to America". This is the refugee crisis no one is talking approximately says Sorrentino.
