TELL OUR TRUTH
(US/MEXICO BORDER)
After escaping violence and crossing 2,000 miles of jungle and desert terrain, 6,000 migrants from all parts of Central America land at the US/Mexico border in Tijuana. Their dreams crashing against some of the toughest border policies and anti-immigration rhetoric seen in modern times. Camping feet from the gates of "the shining city" many began to wonder if they would ever find a passage across the border and into the safety of the United States.
"Photographer Zaydee Sanchez asks us to consider what happens to the individual as they leave everything behind and risk their lives to seek a better future in a place we call home."
