La Caravana del Diablo
Every day thousands of people leave in a caravan from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador via Mexico to America because of escalating violence, murders and poor economic conditions in their own country. A journey in which hundreds of miles have to be covered, often on foot, full of fear of being arrested and sent back or, in some cases, even disappearing. Under the policy of former US President Donald Trump, despite fierce opposition, 'The wall' was built to keep these immigrants out of 'The Northern Triangle'. As a result, the crossing to America became even more dangerous.
It is photographer Ada Trillo's mission to portray this harrowing situation. In 'La caravana del diablo' she does not look away, but confronts. Ada shows that each of these thousands of migrants is a person. A human with family, fear, hopes and dreams.
