Thomas Dworzak “Caminito Nocturno” – The night march. Near Ixmiquilpan, Mexico. 2019
"May 2019. A group of about 100 middle-class Mexican high school students spend a week’s holiday camping in the Eco Parc Alber
(...) to resort near Ixmiquilpan, Mexico. One long evening, for 6-7 hours, they are given the “Migrant Experience”, a simulated illegal crossing into the United States. Former coyotes - human smugglers — chase them in small groups through the hills and cactus fields. Some role-players act as US border guards, criminals, smugglers and drug dealers. One of the pedagogic aims seems to be to encourage the students to stay and build the future of Mexico, rather than take a life-changing risk in making the perilous journey to the United States.”
