Many articles and mini documentaries have been made on this issue in recent year, as the problem only seems to be worsening, with no apparent solution in sight.
Most take the similar form of showing the train, chronicling the journey, speaking with the people, and highlighting the dangers.
I'm posting them all here for both easy access in my own research, and also to let you know what I've been watching in regards to the project.
This one follows a bunch of actual workers making the journey...
This highlights the journey itself...
The following two are samples of the actually documentary that inspired my project in the first place, "LA Bestia" by Pedro Ultreras... (incidently, the only english dubbed ones I can find anywhere now).
This features an interview with Ultreras himself on the issue, as well as a panel debate onthe state of immigration in the nation...
This is a heart warming little clip of the train passing through a town, as the residents offer food and water to the people aboard. Beautiful.
This takes a look at the dangers of illegal immigration itself, not just focusing on the Beast.
