Every year, thousands of people flee the extreme gang violence of Central America in hopes of a better life. In LOS COMANDOS, 16-year-old volunteer paramedic Mimi must decide if she will stay in El Salvador or risk her life helping others. TOWARDS THE NORTH is an intimate look into the daily battles of asylum seekers on the run through the eyes of Nelly and her daughter Joseline.
