Award-winning Canadian filmmaker tells the moving and inspirational story of ABBA migrant shelter in Celaya, Mexico. Founded by Pastor Ignacio it helps tens of thousands of migrants, many of whom are women and children. They are fleeing violence, crime, climate change and corruption in Latin America, and are desperately searching for a place where they can bring up their children in safety.

As they travel through Mexico on freight trains migrants are often robbed, raped, or beaten. Sadly, some fall from “La Bestia” (The Beast) and lose limbs. ABBA is the only shelter in Mexico that cares for those whose dreams are shattered by accidents. It helps them heal with dignity. The amputees here have even formed a band.

Now Pastor Ignacio has been donated a large piece of land where he can build his vision of a Cultural and Human Rights Centre with medical , music and art therapy. Here amputees can heal. It will be an example of what is possible

Migration has been and is a key issue in North American politics. In this world of increasing nationalism and xenophobia, Ignacio’s work is vitally important.
