When he asked "have you ever felt like you always come last?" 😢😢 After all he witnessed and then took care of his siblings... he still is left without peace of mind. Such a tragic and sad story.
🇨🇦😭 i feel sick for Fernando! The stress this young man has had on his shoulders is horrifying! I certainly hope and pray that he's granted his asylum! His siblings wouldn't have been brought to safety without him being so courageous, without his strength and determination! Thank you so much for sharing this documentary. I really hope they do a follow up the day he received his asylum!?
God Bless You Fernando. Your courage and selflessness hasn't went unnoticed. I love your beautiful soul. I will continue to pray for your Asylum...Take Care & Stay Safe.
I cried so many times watching this LORD JESUS please help Fernando stay with His Family He is so Brave and such a good young man and an amazing brother guard Him Lord.Amen
if these films were shown in school here it would really open up young people’s eyes to help them understand how hard it is for people in other countries to survive the lawlessness that’s rampant. i hate that our culture glorifies gangs and crime . i would like to see a documentary about the gangs and the kids that grow up in them to survive.
Even though I am a Hispanic immigrant from South America, I do not agree with this "documentary". I know and feel bad for many people who sincerely went thru difficult and life changing situations, I'm in no way talking about them, but the big majority it's trained to say the things that will get you get your legal status here I. the US, I was many time told what could I do to fix my status. We know what we can get from the government, paid education for our kids, they will give you a monthly income weather you work or not, and other innumerable economic benefits. Sadly the *VAST MAJORITY* only wants to get the benefis no matter the lies needed to be told, and that causes a *HUGE* disservice to the ones who truly need the help. This "film" is just activism at its worst! Trying to make something illegal to become "normal" for the sake of power.
I love documentaries because they have the power to expand our perspective and increase empathy and togetherness. At the moment our world needs more well made documentaries than ever so that we can connect and develop as humans. Looking forward to watching this one.
This documentary just proves the fact that they should stay in their own countries. As soon as the parents abandoned their 4 kids “to give them a better life” they were raped, extorted and threatened. The kids even said that before the parents left they had a great life. They played outside and nothing bad ever happened. Their parents are so selfish and greedy and now look... their daughter was gang raped and they still don’t have the life they thought they would. Deport them all back and allow them to enjoy their lives in peace without the worry of ICE. 🙏🏻❤️
I feel exactly like Fernando. I was physically and emotionally abused my whole lif,e in the streets and also in the house I grew up, I was abandoned by family, travelled thousands of miles away from them and still to this day struggle to feel I deserve something good. I took care of them when they needed, after all the evil they have done to me, yet they did it all over again as soon as they got better and stopped needing me. I lived in the streets, ate garbage, never been into drugs or violence, always tried to study and learn, even when the stars were my roof. I just wish I could hug Fernando, cuz he'd understand me. At least he does have a caring family. I never had anyone, just abusers =(
Fantastic documentary. So sad that people have to endure these horrific things, especially children. I'm hoping and praying for the best for this family especially Fernando and also all the people who are facing persecution, oppression, hunger, terror, and a lack of opportunity in their countries. Here in the U.S. yes there is poverty and hardship and it's a major problem that we shouldn't have because of the amount of resources. However, the US has opportunities and options for safety.... that's the biggest difference and reason people seek refuge here. Be kind and compassionate...everyone has a right to life.
Fernando, you're such a beautiful person. You did so well looking after your siblings while you were so young. I wish you fulfillment of your dreams. God bless you !
Yes, the best ways to keep up with the film and any updates is via social media and our newsletter. Thank you for your interest in supporting him! You can sign up for both on our website: www.paperchildrendoc.com
Gosh this had me in tears 😥 We are so privileged, every day we take advantage of the simplist things, while there are so many families going thru exactly what this family are going thru...just heartbreaking...
This is ridiculous! Fernando, the eldest of them all, the one who took care of his siblings, helped them go through their journey was not approved of his Assylum? Are you serious? That young man should be the first given approval!if not for him, his brother and sister would not get their Assylum and a safe life here.....OMG, i pray that he gets approved soon!
You have to remember this story is told from the viewpoint and opinions of the reporter. It is entirely possible important unsympathetic facts are not a part of this report.
Fernando has that 'old soul' look on his eyes... The one that we only see on people that lived throught a lot already... I hope they grant the permittion for him to stay.
This is terrible. I cried so hard. I don't understand how this can happen. I couldn't imagine being in this position as a mother. These poor people just want to be safe, they just want their family to be safe 💔
Me encanto el documental, muy autentico y triste lo que vive esta gente por la violencia de sus paises , ruego que Fernando le den su asilo y se olvide de que siempre era el ultimo en todo, Dios lo va ayudar y las buenas vibras para Fernando,
This breaks my heart these poor children you can see the pain and sadness in their eyes I wish I can help these poor kids and give them the life they deserve 😭😞
“When the parents leave the gangs come” so true in any place around the world. I used to eat tortillas with salt and some with butter. I feel for them, I really do.
It appeals to the feelings of the viewers, WE the Hispanics know the reality of the situation, and it is definitely not what is shown. It is just activism.
This breaks my heart 💔😢.....my mother, uncle and grandmother fled Honduras many years ago for a better life here in the states and I’m so very grateful for that because I doubt I’d be here today if they didn’t. All gained their citizenship and worked so very hard for a better life. I couldn’t even begin to imagine how much harder it would’ve been for my grandmother had she been separated from her children 😢💔
Excellent documentary!!! I feel for these people and I pray that Fernando receives asylum like his siblings. It's not fair he gets deported. He did the best he could to protect his siblings from those evil people. Fernando never give up...
Michelle Carl I felt so saddened for him :( especially when he said he comes last in everything :( , I'm sure he would be offered asylum ,he has sacrificed a lot for his siblings ! What a hard working family ! Very amazed ! I wish the best of luck
@@wiam1301 ...exactly so did I but he's a very strong young man and he WILL BE GIVEN ASYLUM ALSO. He needs our prayers and support... Please keep us informed of what happens with Fernando in the future n I will keep him in my prayers..🙏🙏💪..God bless us all.🙋😊👍💪🙏❤
Throw Away do u feel guilty? If so, why? These people don’t tell their story so we can feel guilty. It’s so we understand that they come to the US in hope for a better life. They’re not asking for hand outs. They’re here to work hard . They probably work harder then us Americans. I see nothing wrong with immigrants who come to the US requesting asylum the right way. Grant them asylum for 5 years w zero tolerance. If they break a law send them bk immediately. And before you go off I’m a republican and proud Trump supporter.
@Throw Away if it means that this way we can save young children from seeing and being murdered YES. there should be NO LIMIT. Who are you to judge who should stay and who not? It's easy to talk for you....when you're save and don't have to worry about things like these kids have seen. So pls just shut up. At least documentaries like this show some people that have no idea the truth. THROW AWAY your stupid opinion. But I am sure you just want to make America "great again" am I right?
Throw Away The documentary wasn’t about being poor. It was about how they were targeted in their own country where they were supposed to be safe. Their family members were being killed right before the kids eyes. Let’s put you there in Honduras and let’s see how you would survive while being targeted by unscrupulous people or raped like the girl in that family. Yes, the world is full of poor people but these people aren’t looking for riches. Did you notice the work Fernando was doing? Would you be willing to stand in the hot sun and do physical labor for 12 hours? Is he taking away an “American” job? He is doing jobs that most people wouldn’t do. So, stop presuming.
Qué documentario tan emocionante. Me sentí muy triste cuando Fernando decía sobre siempre sentirse como el último en todo. Había trabajado tan duro para ayudar a su familia y claramente después de todos sus hermanos recibieron el asilo, lidió con unas emociones mixtas. What a moving documentary. I felt so sad when Fernando was saying that he always feels like he comes last in everything. He'd worked so hard to help his family and clearly was dealing with some mixed emotions after all his siblings had been granted asylum. (Sorry for my bad Spanish / Lo siento por mis errores)
EEUU NO TIENE OBLIGACION DE RECIBIRLOS EEUU NO TIENE OBLIGACION DE RECIBIRLOS EEUU NO TIENE OBLIGACION DE RECIBIRLOS EEUU NO TIENE OBLIGACION DE RECIBIRLOS
🇨🇦 it's just horrible what these children have gone through alone! Fernando is one very special young man, who has been the hero here! I feel sick to my stomach that he wasn't granted his asylum after all he's been through at his young age! It sure doesn't sound like his grandmother had much, if anything at all to do with their care while their parents left them for ""4"" years!
Fernando if you read this and your family, hope you feel the love and know so many people are praying for you and your family. I love how your family is Trusting in God. It is beautiful ❤️ God bless your family with love 💞 Kelly.
Very Touching documentary on such a Delicate subject. I wish there was a way of weeding out all the cases that were based on fraud, lies, exaggeration, so all the legit cases could be handled speedier. Everyday of uncertainty, anxiety and fear impacts these individuals in ways that some may never recover from. In worse case scenario they go through all this torture only to be denied and deported in the bed. We also must forget how asylum is a privilege & gift which one should never take for granted. Many forget this and try to make it seem its a right and this attitude makes it worse for all those trying to do the right thing. Sending lots of Positive vives and Prayers to all those of desperate need of this HOPE.
I’m an immigrant, and A couple of months after I had turned 20. I said to myself “US citizens do not realize how privilege they are, here if you need food you get food if you need shelter you get shelter if you need school you get school”. I would die a million times for the USA any day and wouldn’t think about it twice. Unfortunately people that pass thru here illegally and exploit the system. Mess it up for people who are doing things by the book. Trust me the hardest thing is to leave your native country. I came here when I was 8 and I cried till I was 18 pleading to go back. My parents would always tell me “one day you’ll understand”, I Felt like a prisoner I would smile here and there but in my heart of hearts I truly despise them. I had left My friends, my backyard (that was in my mind a movie studio), and my dog. I wound up in a cold dark concrete jungle alone no friends no brothers or sisters. I will say to myself “why did my parents do this to me they see that I’m crying and suffering nothing nothing why do they hate me so much” as I got older my friends became my brothers and sisters, And my mortal enemies went back to being mom and dad and my best friends(I love you) LOVE YOUR PARENTSI. You see The problem is not the legal or the illegals coming to the USA . It’s the politicians of these countries. Don’t let those politicians make your life so miserable that you have to leave your own country. Be the change you want to see in the world. Smiling is contagious so keep smiling keep smiling.
Bless you!! Your so very right and watching things like this makes me realize how lucky I am!! It's sad how much greed and ignorance our society has and it angers me how much control it takes over our entire country!!!
Man I absolutely feel you, I came to this country when I was seven and became a citizen barely 10 years ago. I love the United States, the opportunities that i have been given here I would never had them in my birth country.
what you say is true, but realize the US commits economic warfare towards every country it wants to dominate. So which ever your homeland is most likely its impoverished because the US demanded it so. And when you come here to pay taxes, you are giving the US govt more power to do harm to tour homeland. Important angle to consider. Better to stay and develop amd help your own people.
Bless your heart. America is such a difficult transition. I've watched many of my family members from Ethiopia, all ages, struggle to make a way in this country. Now my nephew is left, alone in Ethiopia, my brother (his father) has passed away 12 years ago and we are struggling to help him come here. I wish the immigration system was better. All of my other family came on diversity lottery, now it's closed and no lawyer is willing to help us get him here. God bless ALL immigrants near and far, may God protect them in their journey and follow their footsteps of faith. I am so happy to hear things are going better for you, especially mentally. It's hard to find people in this country to understand those emotions. Sending hugs, love and light your way. ❤🙏🏽
@@jonathanwoo9829 One would think it's individuals like you who make up stories to justify your political agendas it's you who should go to the countries they are fleeing as you would feel more comfortable under those governments that share your political view and that way we all would be happy
Heartbreaking 💔! Praying for the family especially Fernando! I think we all know that feeling but not like that! He deserves some good luck and humanity!
Los padres necesitan acceptar un poco de la responsibilidad. No es justo lo que ha pasado a Fernando porque sus padres quierían trabajar en los Estados Unidos, abandonando a sus hijos. No es el trabajo de Fernando para cuidar para sus hermanos; es su trabajo como un padre.
I found it so strange that the mother stated that her mother (the children's grandmother) would care for them. However, as these children speak about their time in Honduras, they make it seem like they were very alone there. I'm not sure that the kids were really taken care of as the mother may have thought. Regardless! Great documentary!
Yes, and they speak of living with their aunt as well! They seem to keep telling her about it. Such a difficult time in their life, I can imagine, because they seem to keep telling her about it! When her daughter was talking about being without her mom at 21:29, you can see the frustration in Karen's (the mom's) body language having to hear about it again. It's like she tries to tell them that she it for all of them to get a chance at a better future, yes it was a very difficult 4 yrs, but it hopefully it goes well here on out and was a sacrifice that was worth it! So so sad!
This documentary was amazing. I’ve always supported immigrants, but I realized that I’ve never understood what they go through, and that’s something I will never fully understand. But I appreciate this documentary expanding my views, and so beautifully telling the stories of these people. My heart breaks for Fernando. Is there a go fund me or some kind of donation set up for us to help him?
Great question, thanks for your interest in supporting Fernando! No fund set up yet, but we would like to set up a scholarship fund for him eventually since his dream is to continue studying English and get his GED. We'll also be setting up a way to donate to support pro-bono attorneys for other kids like Fernando and his siblings. They're the lucky few who have competent pro-bono lawyers, but the majority of kids don't. We'll post updated on the film's Facebook page as we set these things up.facebook.com/PaperChildrenDoc/
Alexandra Codina thank you so much. I would love to donate to both a scholarship fund, and the amazing attorneys that give these kids a chance. I’ll keep an eye out for updates!
Ok so I hope the government take more taxes from you to pay for them. I hope they take at least half of your check. Hey! Somebody have to pay right? Yes the stupid us the tax payers
@Ali Codina I am so incredibly moved by this young man's story & the way you have told it is spectacular! I would love to know the final outcome as I have & will continue to pray for Fernando 💜
Please keep us updated of this Family. God bless them. God will open doors for Fernando and he will finally be free and at peace. Asylum will be GRANTED 🙏🏻
Hello! His case is still pending and he's waiting for his next court date. Whenever there's an update on his status, we'll share it in these comments and on the film's FB page. In the meantime, Fernando is thriving here in the US and building a life for himself as best he can. Everyone in the family is healthy and well.
Que realidad mas pura. Pero que bueno para que veamos la verdad en vivo, y no digan que es pura película, o cuento de ""pancho madrigal"" gracias por este documental tan real de la realidad a todo color.
I truly hope and pray you stay with your family. You’re an amazing person who’s been through so much heartache. You deserve a safe beautiful life. God bless you and stay strong:)
I am afraid that the World is not responsible for all of the problems of other countries as if great numbers of people are just allowed to enter a country they drive the economy of that country down, want a better way of life without giving in return and the children are used to get sympathy for getting in .
Such humble people! Asylum seekers! Lord bless and expand their territories. Us privileged have no idea what we take for granted. Bless them Father, your Children!!
If I had the power to take every single kid with me and give them the life they deserve, I wouldn’t think about it twice. A kids life shouldn’t be this hard!!! 😢😢😢
I think Fernando's case might be helped if he shows he's positive and productive; i.e., via work and school. It's time for Fernando to put himself first. Good luck.
This documentary is about a few individuals. As a whole the US is looking at hundreds of thousands of these stories! Very few countries are able to just absorb that kind of volume
in my heart of hearts i wish that the violence that fractures families didn't exist. all of the children so broken, so young. Fernando deserves to stay here, I wish the decision were solely mine to make when the reality is, there's nothing I can do. I hope the story of this family help open the eyes of someone who needs it

@@alicodina997 This COMPLETELY reframed some of my thinking around this entire issue. What an incredible way to make a real difference. I hope and pray their entire family is able to stay. I can't even fathom any other outcome for them, they've already lost so much. Too much. Even if it was 'just' the time apart. That's brutal enough. Add in all they have endured. Witnessed. Feared. I can't imagine. My heart aches for all of them, but it absolutely broke for Fernando at the end... It makes me wish there was more to do other than just follow the story. 😟 Thank you for bringing this to us.
@@kristine0825 this is the best response that I could ask for as a filmmaker, thank you for sharing! I would love to hear more about how your perspective changed.
@@alicodina997 What a lovely family and your portrayal of them is so gracious. I also would love to know how Fernando is doing and pray he can stay with his family to make a good life here in America 🇺🇸❤
I really feel bad for Fernando. He took care of his siblings while their parents are away now he's on the edge of the cliff. We should pray for positive results for his case.
Dios les bendiga familia, son valientes al expresar su experiencia y Fernando debes orar mucho y tener fe porque Dios te dará muchas oportunidades. Oren mucho que Dios les escucha.
La culpa no es de Estados Unidos el verdadero problema está en la corrupcion de los países de Latinoamérica como el maldito narco estado en mi país Honduras, excelente documental 👌🏻
Si, y no. Me parece muy interesante (y, bueno, GROTESQUE, en realidad) que el gobierno de los EE. UU. Es LITERALMENTE la CAUSA real de "ilegal"? Para empezar, los refugiados que huyen a los Estados Unidos debido a qué, dónde, cuándo, por qué y CÓMO Estados Unidos ha estado involucrado en la política mexicana, centroamericana y sudamericana desde el siglo XIX. Las políticas políticas propias de los Estados Unidos (es decir, dirigidas por las empresas) como el TLCAN y el CAFTA son la causa de toda la migración de todas estas personas en el primer lugar. Por cierto, todas las personas que ves en este documental son TODOS los nativos americanos, no importa de qué PARTE de las "Américas" vengan, ¡son NATIVOS! El gobierno de los EE. UU. DEBE pagar una restitución COMPLETA a TODOS los nativos americanos y afroamericanos para que todo salga bien ... ¿Ya que parece tan fácil para el gobierno de los Estados Unidos "extraviarse" convenientemente? en algún lugar por una suma de $ 60,000,000,000,000.00 (Eso es SESENTA Y TRILLONES DE DÓLARES, en caso de que no pueda sumar todos esos ceros) ... eso ha desaparecido en los proyectos de alto secreto Black-Budget que no hacen absolutamente NADA PARA NOSOTROS. : VOLUNTAMOS LA CUENTA Y POR MENOS QUE UN POR CIENTO, es decir, la clase gobernante), mientras que todas esas putas políticas en Capital Shill en Washington, DC, literalmente NO HACEN NADA, entonces les corresponde a los @ $$ WIPES para pagar la restitución a todos los que Estados Unidos ha lesionado en los últimos 244 años. ¿Por qué doscientos cuarenta y cuatro años y no quinientos? Porque los españoles no establecieron las 13 colonias. Entonces, comencemos allí. España, Francia y cualquier otro país que haya tenido sus manos torcidas, sucias y sangrientas en este continente pueden decidir qué van a hacer por su cuenta. Tenemos nuestras propias responsabilidades que cuidar. Soy un chico blanco de cincuenta y siete años, y todos mis amigos negros y mis amigos nativos americanos y mis amigos latinos de ascendencia nativa de los Estados Unidos me dicen lo que es ser ellos. Todo lo que puedo hacer es imaginar. ¿Cómo puedo saberlo, excepto por un incidente en el que caminaba por la calle con uno de mis amigos negros (esto fue a mediados de la década de 1990) en Glendale, California (cerca de Los Ángeles) y solo caminaba y hablaba y había una mujer blanca mayor a una cuadra de distancia caminando hacia nosotros en el mismo lado de la calle cuando AMBOS nos dimos cuenta de que nos miraba, hizo una mueca extraña y cruzó rápidamente el bulevar (que tenía un poco de ciudad en rápido movimiento) tráfico) y ella caminó en J hacia el otro lado de la calle. Le pregunté a mi amigo "¿Ella acaba de cruzar la calle por nosotros?" y él dijo: "No. Ella se arriesgaba a ser golpeada por mí. Amigo, esto es lo que es ser negro". Estaba tan avergonzado de ser blanco en ese momento porque eso fue lo más cerca que estuve de haber sido testigo de un miedo tan irracional de otro ser humano. Honestamente, es REALMENTE grotesco la actitud, el comportamiento y las acciones de mis compañeros blancos de tener tanto miedo de otro ser humano del que no saben absolutamente nada. Es decepcionante Es deprimente. Es realmente triste y es muy vergonzoso, por decir lo menos. Tuve la suerte de tener que vivir en el sur de México, en el estado de Nayarit, en un pequeño pueblo costero de pescadores con algunos de mis amigos mayores cuando tenía dieciocho años. Viví allí por cerca de un año. Era 1982. Pasé un tiempo maravilloso y aprendí mucho sobre México, pero lo más maravilloso que aprendí fue lo increíble y colorido que es realmente el pueblo mexicano y su cultura. Los Estados Unidos PALES en comparación cuando se trata de CULTURA, eso es un HECHO. ¿Honestamente? Preferiría vivir el resto de mis días en México que aquí en los EE. UU. Y sí, México definitivamente tiene sus problemas, tiene la misma cantidad de corrupción del gobierno y problemas del cartel de drogas, tal vez incluso más que los Estados Unidos ... a excepción de El hecho de que la situación de tráfico de drogas entre los Estados Unidos y México y América Central es un "problema"? eso solo existe en los principales medios de comunicación corporativos de Wall Street que cotizan en el mercado de valores (es decir, PARA BENEFICIOS) que oculta el hecho de que la "inteligencia" central? ¡La agencia de los Estados Unidos en cooperación con el ejército de los EE. UU. REALMENTE FACILITA las drogas mortales que entran en nuestro país por DECADAS! Luego tenemos la agenda de "divide y vencerás" de la clase gobernante y su "bipartidista". partidos políticos títeres (Partido Republicano Corporativo) que, una vez más, asegura que el pueblo estadounidense (¿Nosotros, los CONTRIBUYENTES y los "VOTANTES" de EE. UU.) en realidad no lleguemos a NINGÚN LUGAR con nuestras verdaderas necesidades, ya que todos esos @ $$ WIPES allá arriba en Capital Shill ya están comprados y pagados por Wall Street y la clase gobernante en general. Luego está la "educación" pública adoptada por Prusia. sistema que es donde nosotros, como ciudadanos estadounidenses, somos adoctrinados por primera vez. Lo primero que se nos debe lavar el cerebro es mantener la atención con nuestras manos sobre nuestros corazones y prometer nuestra lealtad eterna.
@@carlav1819 unfortunately we have been involved in the destabilization of the whole region. I love my country (US) but this is a true fact and we are dealing with the consequences now -> en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_involvement_in_regime_change_in_Latin_America
I feel so bad for this amazing family, how can this happen after what they have been threw and risked their lives to get where they are today .come on people let them live together as they are family, the whole world should know about what they have been threw.you guys are not only strong as a family but true heroes,love and happiness to you 💯
I am so glad a documentary like this is finally out for the world to see and understand the reasons why Central American immigrants embark on a long, perilous journey to reach the United States, perhaps unaware of the predicament that awaits them on the road to and within the US borders. I am rooting for Fernando for his asylum petition to be finally granted. I congratulate everyone involved in this outstanding documentary!
The children suffered, because the parents left them. They had to be brave and managed this dangerous journey. I cannot see that the mother really love them. But they will have a better life if they could stay with her.
i pray for Fernando and his family. i pray for everyone having to go through this issue.. God is watching over you and everything will be okay. i pray the system gets changed.. i will do anything in my power to help those around me. if anyone here is struggling with things, please reach out.
Excellent presentation of this story of Fernando's family. I'm happy that the US approved the 3 children's papers and my heart breaks for them especially Fernando. I don't understand why his immigration.paper wasn't approved. There father rarely speaks but in his face I can see his love and sorrow for his children. He works hard to provide for his family. Together with the mother they provide love, warmth and strength for the kids. I can relate best when China said it was truly difficult when she was in her teens without her Mom. This is a beautiful family. I felt grateful for the American lady who helps process the children's.papers. After all what Fernando has gone through, I hope & pray Fernando's immigration paper will be approved soon. Im from the Philippines and watching this video makes me deeply grateful to God for all that my family have. On this note, may I say my heart and prayers go out to all individuals and families around the world who at the moment are suffering and have suffered from the hands of their fellowman.🥀 Dear Jesus, please we pray for your Divine intervention on our sufferings, help us. In your mighty name, Amen.
Hope Fernando gets asylum I couldn't imagine all your siblings get approved and your last. The anxiety he must be feeling! Alot of people are blessed that don't ever have to go through something like this!
My gang stalkers stole my birth certificate and stimulus check. They are the devil's new world order soldiers and above the law. Only God can destroy them. They've taken over society and government. It's WW3. A quiet chaos.
When applying to the court, One application per Family should be honoured. Its very upsetting to us the viewers to see Families torn apart. I cannot imagine how it feels for a Mother Father Sister Brother God bless You All xo
yesssss!!!!!!! Thank you xx it should be honoured. The court panel is pathetic too and then immediately taken away without access to a judge or goodbyes to the family, trauma on trauma. So upsetting to see families torn apart! Land of the free, if the panel decides it🤦♀️ I hope Fernando doesn't have to go into gangs to survive. He just wants to be with his family & not have to worry about life or have to constantly look over his shoulder! They waited 2 long years to decline him🤦♀️
Do you create more empathy? I believe people have the ability to empathize or they don't. I empathize but I am not supportive of wide open borders which comes with a load of horrors itself. America didn't cause the societal issues in these other countries. Those governments have responsibility. These people want to be in America because America is a great place to live. If socialist Democrats get their way, america will be a lot poorer and won't be able to support as much as we do now. Changes are needed and we can help even more people if america thrives economically. Trump was making this a reality which is the irony behind people hating him. Ihope he wins again because if he does everyone will see after another 4 years what was really going on. If he loses the evil central bankers win and america will be on its way to being broke and subjugated. People will realize when its all too late. Trump is not against immigration. He is against wide open borders. Big difference. At the start the boy describes his father being murdered. Those are exactly the people we must keep out as they will bring the conditions these people are trying to escape with them. Immigration the right way is a beautiful thing. Lets improve that and go from there. Be wise.
I pray for Fernando! you're not alone brother! God will save you and have faith in him. I hope and wish the best for you! Don't ever get discouraged! and never lose hope! this is the time that you have to stay strong and i know it's hard but trust me you got this! again you are loved!
How can this government agency take so long to approve this young mans asylum request along with his other siblings. He tool on the job of keeping his siblings alive since the age of 12. If he is not deserving of asylum I don't know who is. If he is denied, it would be a major failure of our immigration system. Deporting the "child" who was mother, father and protector to his younger siblings who were approved asylum would be beyond sick!
I pray he gets to stay . I so want him to experience happiness. I'm almost or rather I am willing to have him move to Calif and stay with me. I feel he would be safer here. I lived in S Fla for a very long time and am so glad I no longer live there. I cried through this entire show. I don't know what to say to these people that simply want to live free and be near family and love. There is know reason he should not get to stay. Americans have know idea how bad it is in many of these county's. And so I pray.
My heart goes out to Fernando so much :'( I don't get how the parents could leave their children to go off for years living their best lives all the while their children are being raped, dealing with extreme violence and witnessing murders and stuck in poverty. I'd be leaving with my children or staying put with them.
Espero que mi compatriota logre su asilo, Ten fe en Dios jovencito, eres bueno y fuiste el padre y protector de tus hermanos SEGURO DIOS TE RECOMPENSARA!!. I hope that my compatriot get his asylum . You must have feith in God young man; you are a good guy and were as a father to your siblings and protected them, I pretty sure that God will reward you .
Fernando I watched this and feel so heartbroken for what you are going through, and this time you must wait to find out whether you will be approved. I am keeping in my prayers & my heart; after seeing this story I want to find a way to help. It is not right, what is happening with children caught crossing into the US, and many of us that have lived here have no idea about the truth of what our country is doing - keeping children from their families & deporting some members & letting other's stay - breaking the families apart. You are such a strong and good young man, please Fernando do not let this break you. I am praying to God for you every night in my prayers, and am hoping we will get to hear the rest of your story when your court date comes! Do not think we are all like this in this country - there are many of us just learning how awful the system is & we are fighting for changes to happen to change things for the better. I send you my belief in you, and love to you. May God help you keep your faith through this hard time. Much love to you ♡
I felt really sad for Fernando! That young man had a lot on his shoulders and after all he had witnessed he then took care of his siblings and doing his best to protect them. My God the pain, the pain and sadness they had to endured. Anyone knows me I’ll take them and give them the best life God had attended for them. 😢 proverty stinks!!!😢
my heart aches for Fernando, I truly hope his asylum gets approved so he can be with his family.m thank you for this documentary, I hope you can update us on his case.
Praying for him to get approved! Has to be hard and stressful for him everyday waking up to see if he’s going to be approved or denied. 😔 I’m going to pray for you 🙏🏽 2 years is some time, do your best to succeed! You took care of your siblings and I pray you get approved and can finally smile and live life
This is an amazing documentary... I never knew... I was born here Alabama USA but I DO NOT support tearing families apart... We have enough room for everyone.. We are a country of immigrants and emmigrants....✌&❤
Are you serious? We are the 3rd most populas country and covid has more homeless in the US then we have ever seen it. No triple taxed homeowners can't afford anymore. We have to draw a line to immigration invasion
Yeah, I disagree. We can not take on the world. We have our gangs and housing issues we can't fix. Too bad the citizens aren't armed to fight back against those horrible gangs.
I know this has been out for a couple years but was there ever any updates on whether Fernando was granted asylum? I pray he was! He deserves everything and more! What an incredible young man!
While the story is moving and tragic, until these countries right themselves and take care of their citizens nothing will be fixed. I feel for those kids. Very brave
They have nothing left but God to believe in....been let down by so many....we are so privileged to be born in the countries we have been born in...very sad...
When he asked "have you ever felt like you always come last?" 😢😢 After all he witnessed and then took care of his siblings... he still is left without peace of mind. Such a tragic and sad story.
Cried my eyes out......my heart breaks for him 💔😢.....praying for him 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Ahhh 🥺💕🙏
🇨🇦😭 i feel sick for Fernando! The stress this young man has had on his shoulders is horrifying! I certainly hope and pray that he's granted his asylum! His siblings wouldn't have been brought to safety without him being so courageous, without his strength and determination! Thank you so much for sharing this documentary. I really hope they do a follow up the day he received his asylum!?
God Bless You Fernando. Your courage and selflessness hasn't went unnoticed. I love your beautiful soul. I will continue to pray for your Asylum...Take Care & Stay Safe.
I cried and felt the pain of this family, especially Fernando's pain. I truly hope he gets to stay with his family.
I cried so many times watching this LORD JESUS please help Fernando stay with His Family He is so Brave and such a good young man and an amazing brother guard Him Lord.Amen
if these films were shown in school here it would really open up young people’s eyes to help them understand how hard it is for people in other countries to survive the lawlessness that’s rampant. i hate that our culture glorifies gangs and crime . i would like to see a documentary about the gangs and the kids that grow up in them to survive.
Absolutely.. well said and AGREED 💯🙏🌺
There making teachers in my district watch this..
Even though I am a Hispanic immigrant from South America, I do not agree with this "documentary". I know and feel bad for many people who sincerely went thru difficult and life changing situations, I'm in no way talking about them, but the big majority it's trained to say the things that will get you get your legal status here I. the US, I was many time told what could I do to fix my status. We know what we can get from the government, paid education for our kids, they will give you a monthly income weather you work or not, and other innumerable economic benefits. Sadly the *VAST MAJORITY* only wants to get the benefis no matter the lies needed to be told, and that causes a *HUGE* disservice to the ones who truly need the help.
This "film" is just activism at its worst! Trying to make something illegal to become "normal" for the sake of power.
I actually was shown this in my government class. Glad to be aware of what’s going on.
I love documentaries because they have the power to expand our perspective and increase empathy and togetherness. At the moment our world needs more well made documentaries than ever so that we can connect and develop as humans. Looking forward to watching this one.
Let us connect and develop in our country. Have you seen what is happening on our streets lately? It is chaos...
Well worded comment!
Move to Mexico.
That must be why I watch UA-cam so much about most everything, most subjects. Thank You. G-G
This documentary just proves the fact that they should stay in their own countries. As soon as the parents abandoned their 4 kids “to give them a better life” they were raped, extorted and threatened. The kids even said that before the parents left they had a great life. They played outside and nothing bad ever happened. Their parents are so selfish and greedy and now look... their daughter was gang raped and they still don’t have the life they thought they would. Deport them all back and allow them to enjoy their lives in peace without the worry of ICE. 🙏🏻❤️
I feel exactly like Fernando. I was physically and emotionally abused my whole lif,e in the streets and also in the house I grew up, I was abandoned by family, travelled thousands of miles away from them and still to this day struggle to feel I deserve something good. I took care of them when they needed, after all the evil they have done to me, yet they did it all over again as soon as they got better and stopped needing me. I lived in the streets, ate garbage, never been into drugs or violence, always tried to study and learn, even when the stars were my roof. I just wish I could hug Fernando, cuz he'd understand me. At least he does have a caring family. I never had anyone, just abusers =(
I really wish you heal from all this. Sending you love and hope. Take care
❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💋❤
Fantastic documentary. So sad that people have to endure these horrific things, especially children. I'm hoping and praying for the best for this family especially Fernando and also all the people who are facing persecution, oppression, hunger, terror, and a lack of opportunity in their countries. Here in the U.S. yes there is poverty and hardship and it's a major problem that we shouldn't have because of the amount of resources. However, the US has opportunities and options for safety.... that's the biggest difference and reason people seek refuge here. Be kind and compassionate...everyone has a right to life.
Amen
Fernando, you're such a beautiful person. You did so well looking after your siblings while you were so young. I wish you fulfillment of your dreams. God bless you !

My heart goes out to Fernando!

Praying for this whole family to be safe & protected!
Shalom from Florida...
Gosh this had me in tears 😥
We are so privileged, every day we take advantage of the simplist things, while there are so many families going thru exactly what this family are going thru...just heartbreaking...
Everyone deserves a loving home where there's peace and true freedom to live and dream.
Yes I agree.
This is ridiculous! Fernando, the eldest of them all, the one who took care of his siblings, helped them go through their journey was not approved of his Assylum? Are you serious? That young man should be the first given approval!if not for him, his brother and sister would not get their Assylum and a safe life here.....OMG, i pray that he gets approved soon!
Buy
You have to remember this story is told from the viewpoint and opinions of the reporter. It is entirely possible important unsympathetic facts are not a part of this report.
Fernando has that 'old soul' look on his eyes... The one that we only see on people that lived throught a lot already... I hope they grant the permittion for him to stay.
This is terrible. I cried so hard. I don't understand how this can happen. I couldn't imagine being in this position as a mother. These poor people just want to be safe, they just want their family to be safe 💔
Me encanto el documental, muy autentico y triste lo que vive esta gente por la violencia de sus paises , ruego que Fernando le den su asilo y se olvide de que siempre era el ultimo en todo, Dios lo va ayudar y las buenas vibras para Fernando,
This breaks my heart these poor children you can see the pain and sadness in their eyes I wish I can help these poor kids and give them the life they deserve 😭😞
“When the parents leave the gangs come” so true in any place around the world.
I used to eat tortillas with salt and some with butter. I feel for them, I really do.
I 'll
I do not think I will ever look at tortillas the same again I have eaten them that way but out of enjoyment and choice...Huh to you
This was an exceptional documentary. I hope everyone that watches it feels like weeping like I do. This country needs a whole lot more compassion!
I say the whole world could use a little more compassion, not just one country. I agree this was an exceptional documentary 💜
2 minutes into and I did +
It appeals to the feelings of the viewers, WE the Hispanics know the reality of the situation, and it is definitely not what is shown. It is just activism.
This breaks my heart 💔😢.....my mother, uncle and grandmother fled Honduras many years ago for a better life here in the states and I’m so very grateful for that because I doubt I’d be here today if they didn’t. All gained their citizenship and worked so very hard for a better life. I couldn’t even begin to imagine how much harder it would’ve been for my grandmother had she been separated from her children 😢💔
Excellent documentary!!! I feel for these people and I pray that Fernando receives asylum like his siblings. It's not fair he gets deported. He did the best he could to protect his siblings from those evil people. Fernando never give up...
Michelle Carl I felt so saddened for him :( especially when he said he comes last in everything :( , I'm sure he would be offered asylum ,he has sacrificed a lot for his siblings ! What a hard working family ! Very amazed ! I wish the best of luck
@@wiam1301 ...exactly so did I but he's a very strong young man and he WILL BE GIVEN ASYLUM ALSO. He needs our prayers and support... Please keep us informed of what happens with Fernando in the future n I will keep him in my prayers..🙏🙏💪..God bless us all.🙋😊👍💪🙏❤
Throw Away do u feel guilty? If so, why? These people don’t tell their story so we can feel guilty. It’s so we understand that they come to the US in hope for a better life. They’re not asking for hand outs. They’re here to work hard . They probably work harder then us Americans. I see nothing wrong with immigrants who come to the US requesting asylum the right way. Grant them asylum for 5 years w zero tolerance. If they break a law send them bk immediately. And before you go off I’m a republican and proud Trump supporter.
@Throw Away if it means that this way we can save young children from seeing and being murdered YES. there should be NO LIMIT. Who are you to judge who should stay and who not? It's easy to talk for you....when you're save and don't have to worry about things like these kids have seen. So pls just shut up. At least documentaries like this show some people that have no idea the truth. THROW AWAY your stupid opinion. But I am sure you just want to make America "great again" am I right?
Throw Away The documentary wasn’t about being poor. It was about how they were targeted in their own country where they were supposed to be safe. Their family members were being killed right before the kids eyes. Let’s put you there in Honduras and let’s see how you would survive while being targeted by unscrupulous people or raped like the girl in that family. Yes, the world is full of poor people but these people aren’t looking for riches. Did you notice the work Fernando was doing? Would you be willing to stand in the hot sun and do physical labor for 12 hours? Is he taking away an “American” job? He is doing jobs that most people wouldn’t do. So, stop presuming.
estos documentales deberian ser los que pasen en la tv en vez de sus falsas narconovelas, que no estan basadas en ningun hecho real
Qué documentario tan emocionante. Me sentí muy triste cuando Fernando decía sobre siempre sentirse como el último en todo. Había trabajado tan duro para ayudar a su familia y claramente después de todos sus hermanos recibieron el asilo, lidió con unas emociones mixtas.
What a moving documentary. I felt so sad when Fernando was saying that he always feels like he comes last in everything. He'd worked so hard to help his family and clearly was dealing with some mixed emotions after all his siblings had been granted asylum.

Please keep families together. I would give them all shelter. The pains they have suffered I wish I could take away.❤️
🇨🇦 it's just horrible what these children have gone through alone! Fernando is one very special young man, who has been the hero here! I feel sick to my stomach that he wasn't granted his asylum after all he's been through at his young age! It sure doesn't sound like his grandmother had much, if anything at all to do with their care while their parents left them for ""4"" years!
Fernando if you read this and your family, hope you feel the love and know so many people are praying for you and your family. I love how your family is Trusting in God. It is beautiful ❤️ God bless your family with love 💞 Kelly.
Fernando was the hero for this family. He protected his siblings , brought them to safety and now has to wait in Limbo. Please give him asylum🌷
Very Touching documentary on such a Delicate subject. I wish there was a way of weeding out all the cases that were based on fraud, lies, exaggeration, so all the legit cases could be handled speedier. Everyday of uncertainty, anxiety and fear impacts these individuals in ways that some may never recover from. In worse case scenario they go through all this torture only to be denied and deported in the bed. We also must forget how asylum is a privilege & gift which one should never take for granted. Many forget this and try to make it seem its a right and this attitude makes it worse for all those trying to do the right thing. Sending lots of Positive vives and Prayers to all those of desperate need of this HOPE.
I’m an immigrant, and A couple of months after I had turned 20. I said to myself “US citizens do not realize how privilege they are, here if you need food you get food if you need shelter you get shelter if you need school you get school”. I would die a million times for the USA any day and wouldn’t think about it twice.
Unfortunately people that pass thru here illegally and exploit the system. Mess it up for people who are doing things by the book. Trust me the hardest thing is to leave your native country. I came here when I was 8 and I cried till I was 18 pleading to go back. My parents would always tell me “one day you’ll understand”, I Felt like a prisoner I would smile here and there but in my heart of hearts I truly despise them. I had left My friends, my backyard (that was in my mind a movie studio), and my dog. I wound up in a cold dark concrete jungle alone no friends no brothers or sisters. I will say to myself “why did my parents do this to me they see that I’m crying and suffering nothing nothing why do they hate me so much” as I got older my friends became my brothers and sisters, And my mortal enemies went back to being mom and dad and my best friends(I love you) LOVE YOUR PARENTSI. You see The problem is not the legal or the illegals coming to the USA . It’s the politicians of these countries. Don’t let those politicians make your life so miserable that you have to leave your own country. Be the change you want to see in the world. Smiling is contagious so keep smiling keep smiling.
Bless you!! Your so very right and watching things like this makes me realize how lucky I am!! It's sad how much greed and ignorance our society has and it angers me how much control it takes over our entire country!!!
Man I absolutely feel you, I came to this country when I was seven and became a citizen barely 10 years ago. I love the United States, the opportunities that i have been given here I would never had them in my birth country.
what you say is true, but realize the US commits economic warfare towards every country it wants to dominate. So which ever your homeland is most likely its impoverished because the US demanded it so. And when you come here to pay taxes, you are giving the US govt more power to do harm to tour homeland. Important angle to consider. Better to stay and develop amd help your own people.
Bless your heart. America is such a difficult transition. I've watched many of my family members from Ethiopia, all ages, struggle to make a way in this country. Now my nephew is left, alone in Ethiopia, my brother (his father) has passed away 12 years ago and we are struggling to help him come here. I wish the immigration system was better. All of my other family came on diversity lottery, now it's closed and no lawyer is willing to help us get him here. God bless ALL immigrants near and far, may God protect them in their journey and follow their footsteps of faith. I am so happy to hear things are going better for you, especially mentally. It's hard to find people in this country to understand those emotions. Sending hugs, love and light your way. ❤🙏🏽
@@jonathanwoo9829
One would think it's individuals like you who make up stories to justify your political agendas it's you who should go to the countries they are fleeing as you would feel more comfortable under those governments that share your political view and that way we all would be happy
Heartbreaking 💔! Praying for the family especially Fernando! I think we all know that feeling but not like that! He deserves some good luck and humanity!
I wish all of these people a happy and healthy future they deserve it .
Los padres necesitan acceptar un poco de la responsibilidad. No es justo lo que ha pasado a Fernando porque sus padres quierían trabajar en los Estados Unidos, abandonando a sus hijos. No es el trabajo de Fernando para cuidar para sus hermanos; es su trabajo como un padre.
Fernando if you see this you have leadership qualities. No matter where you go you will be a leader. Be ready for it and stay strong
I found it so strange that the mother stated that her mother (the children's grandmother) would care for them. However, as these children speak about their time in Honduras, they make it seem like they were very alone there. I'm not sure that the kids were really taken care of as the mother may have thought.
Regardless! Great documentary!
Exactly my thoughts.
Yes, and they speak of living with their aunt as well! They seem to keep telling her about it. Such a difficult time in their life, I can imagine, because they seem to keep telling her about it! When her daughter was talking about being without her mom at 21:29, you can see the frustration in Karen's (the mom's) body language having to hear about it again. It's like she tries to tell them that she it for all of them to get a chance at a better future, yes it was a very difficult 4 yrs, but it hopefully it goes well here on out and was a sacrifice that was worth it! So so sad!
This documentary was amazing. I’ve always supported immigrants, but I realized that I’ve never understood what they go through, and that’s something I will never fully understand. But I appreciate this documentary expanding my views, and so beautifully telling the stories of these people. My heart breaks for Fernando. Is there a go fund me or some kind of donation set up for us to help him?
I would donate
Great question, thanks for your interest in supporting Fernando! No fund set up yet, but we would like to set up a scholarship fund for him eventually since his dream is to continue studying English and get his GED. We'll also be setting up a way to donate to support pro-bono attorneys for other kids like Fernando and his siblings. They're the lucky few who have competent pro-bono lawyers, but the majority of kids don't. We'll post updated on the film's Facebook page as we set these things up.facebook.com/PaperChildrenDoc/
Thanks, Christine, see above.
Alexandra Codina thank you so much. I would love to donate to both a scholarship fund, and the amazing attorneys that give these kids a chance. I’ll keep an eye out for updates!
Ok so I hope the government take more taxes from you to pay for them. I hope they take at least half of your check. Hey! Somebody have to pay right? Yes the stupid us the tax payers
What an excellent documentary and I am so sorry that it is happening in our country. God save us all and our country.
@Ali Codina
I am so incredibly moved by this young man's story & the way you have told it is spectacular!
I would love to know the final outcome as I have & will continue to pray for Fernando 💜
Please keep us updated of this Family. God bless them. God will open doors for Fernando and he will finally be free and at peace. Asylum will be GRANTED 🙏🏻
Can you please do an update on Fernando and his family? We're all eager to know the outcome of his asylum case. Thank you 🌺
Hello! His case is still pending and he's waiting for his next court date. Whenever there's an update on his status, we'll share it in these comments and on the film's FB page. In the meantime, Fernando is thriving here in the US and building a life for himself as best he can. Everyone in the family is healthy and well.
Que realidad mas pura. Pero que bueno para que veamos la verdad en vivo, y no digan que es pura película, o cuento de ""pancho madrigal"" gracias por este documental tan real de la realidad a todo color.
I truly hope and pray you stay with your family. You’re an amazing person who’s been through so much heartache. You deserve a safe beautiful life. God bless you and stay strong:)
While the citizens that are here continue to complain and be ungrateful there are people literally dying to come here
No hablo ingles
those two things aren't mutually exclusive you know.
I am afraid that the World is not responsible for all of the problems of other countries as if great numbers of people are just allowed to enter a country they drive the economy of that country down, want a better way of life without giving in return and the children are used to get sympathy for getting in .
@ Mexico is dangerous because of America? Did a Mexican tell you that?
B Tiger you sound stupid this country is made from immigrants
Such humble people! Asylum seekers! Lord bless and expand their territories. Us privileged have no idea what we take for granted. Bless them Father, your Children!!
If I had the power to take every single kid with me and give them the life they deserve, I wouldn’t think about it twice. A kids life shouldn’t be this hard!!! 😢😢😢
Same here!
Seems like they deny one and accept the other to encourage them all to go back to Honduras to be able to stay together as a family. 😔
I agree! they also make it difficult because many won't have the strength/resources/knowledge to continue fighting back.
I think Fernando's case might be helped if he shows he's positive and productive; i.e., via work and school. It's time for Fernando to put himself first. Good luck.
This documentary is about a few individuals. As a whole the US is looking at hundreds of thousands of these stories! Very few countries are able to just absorb that kind of volume
in my heart of hearts i wish that the violence that fractures families didn't exist. all of the children so broken, so young. Fernando deserves to stay here, I wish the decision were solely mine to make when the reality is, there's nothing I can do. I hope the story of this family help open the eyes of someone who needs it
Fernando, I want to give you a giant hug. I wish I could provide you safety, security, and put you first.

@@alicodina997 This COMPLETELY reframed some of my thinking around this entire issue. What an incredible way to make a real difference.
I hope and pray their entire family is able to stay. I can't even fathom any other outcome for them, they've already lost so much. Too much. Even if it was 'just' the time apart. That's brutal enough. Add in all they have endured. Witnessed. Feared. I can't imagine. My heart aches for all of them, but it absolutely broke for Fernando at the end... It makes me wish there was more to do other than just follow the story. 😟
Thank you for bringing this to us.
I pray that Fernando is granted Asylum and he realizes that he so valued and loved

I really feel bad for Fernando. He took care of his siblings while their parents are away now he's on the edge of the cliff. We should pray for positive results for his case.
Dios les bendiga familia, son valientes al expresar su experiencia y Fernando debes orar mucho y tener fe porque Dios te dará muchas oportunidades. Oren mucho que Dios les escucha.
La culpa no es de Estados Unidos el verdadero problema está en la corrupcion de los países de Latinoamérica como el maldito narco estado en mi país Honduras, excelente documental 👌🏻
La verdad es que Fernando y su familia seguirian en Honduras, si no fuera por la violencia y la pobreza tan extrema.
Corruption that was backed by the U.S. for decades, so, yes, it is the U.S."s fault big time.
Si, y no.
Me parece muy interesante (y, bueno, GROTESQUE, en realidad) que el gobierno de los EE. UU. Es LITERALMENTE la CAUSA real de "ilegal"? Para empezar, los refugiados que huyen a los Estados Unidos debido a qué, dónde, cuándo, por qué y CÓMO Estados Unidos ha estado involucrado en la política mexicana, centroamericana y sudamericana desde el siglo XIX. Las políticas políticas propias de los Estados Unidos (es decir, dirigidas por las empresas) como el TLCAN y el CAFTA son la causa de toda la migración de todas estas personas en el primer lugar.
Por cierto, todas las personas que ves en este documental son TODOS los nativos americanos, no importa de qué PARTE de las "Américas" vengan, ¡son NATIVOS! El gobierno de los EE. UU. DEBE pagar una restitución COMPLETA a TODOS los nativos americanos y afroamericanos para que todo salga bien ...
¿Ya que parece tan fácil para el gobierno de los Estados Unidos "extraviarse" convenientemente? en algún lugar por una suma de $ 60,000,000,000,000.00 (Eso es SESENTA Y TRILLONES DE DÓLARES, en caso de que no pueda sumar todos esos ceros) ... eso ha desaparecido en los proyectos de alto secreto Black-Budget que no hacen absolutamente NADA PARA NOSOTROS. : VOLUNTAMOS LA CUENTA Y POR MENOS QUE UN POR CIENTO, es decir, la clase gobernante), mientras que todas esas putas políticas en Capital Shill en Washington, DC, literalmente NO HACEN NADA, entonces les corresponde a los @ $$ WIPES para pagar la restitución a todos los que Estados Unidos ha lesionado en los últimos 244 años. ¿Por qué doscientos cuarenta y cuatro años y no quinientos? Porque los españoles no establecieron las 13 colonias. Entonces, comencemos allí. España, Francia y cualquier otro país que haya tenido sus manos torcidas, sucias y sangrientas en este continente pueden decidir qué van a hacer por su cuenta. Tenemos nuestras propias responsabilidades que cuidar.
Soy un chico blanco de cincuenta y siete años, y todos mis amigos negros y mis amigos nativos americanos y mis amigos latinos de ascendencia nativa de los Estados Unidos me dicen lo que es ser ellos. Todo lo que puedo hacer es imaginar. ¿Cómo puedo saberlo, excepto por un incidente en el que caminaba por la calle con uno de mis amigos negros (esto fue a mediados de la década de 1990) en Glendale, California (cerca de Los Ángeles) y solo caminaba y hablaba y había una mujer blanca mayor a una cuadra de distancia caminando hacia nosotros en el mismo lado de la calle cuando AMBOS nos dimos cuenta de que nos miraba, hizo una mueca extraña y cruzó rápidamente el bulevar (que tenía un poco de ciudad en rápido movimiento) tráfico) y ella caminó en J hacia el otro lado de la calle. Le pregunté a mi amigo "¿Ella acaba de cruzar la calle por nosotros?" y él dijo: "No. Ella se arriesgaba a ser golpeada por mí. Amigo, esto es lo que es ser negro". Estaba tan avergonzado de ser blanco en ese momento porque eso fue lo más cerca que estuve de haber sido testigo de un miedo tan irracional de otro ser humano. Honestamente, es REALMENTE grotesco la actitud, el comportamiento y las acciones de mis compañeros blancos de tener tanto miedo de otro ser humano del que no saben absolutamente nada. Es decepcionante Es deprimente. Es realmente triste y es muy vergonzoso, por decir lo menos.
Tuve la suerte de tener que vivir en el sur de México, en el estado de Nayarit, en un pequeño pueblo costero de pescadores con algunos de mis amigos mayores cuando tenía dieciocho años. Viví allí por cerca de un año. Era 1982. Pasé un tiempo maravilloso y aprendí mucho sobre México, pero lo más maravilloso que aprendí fue lo increíble y colorido que es realmente el pueblo mexicano y su cultura. Los Estados Unidos PALES en comparación cuando se trata de CULTURA, eso es un HECHO. ¿Honestamente? Preferiría vivir el resto de mis días en México que aquí en los EE. UU. Y sí, México definitivamente tiene sus problemas, tiene la misma cantidad de corrupción del gobierno y problemas del cartel de drogas, tal vez incluso más que los Estados Unidos ... a excepción de El hecho de que la situación de tráfico de drogas entre los Estados Unidos y México y América Central es un "problema"? eso solo existe en los principales medios de comunicación corporativos de Wall Street que cotizan en el mercado de valores (es decir, PARA BENEFICIOS) que oculta el hecho de que la "inteligencia" central? ¡La agencia de los Estados Unidos en cooperación con el ejército de los EE. UU. REALMENTE FACILITA las drogas mortales que entran en nuestro país por DECADAS!
Luego tenemos la agenda de "divide y vencerás" de la clase gobernante y su "bipartidista". partidos políticos títeres (Partido Republicano Corporativo) que, una vez más, asegura que el pueblo estadounidense (¿Nosotros, los CONTRIBUYENTES y los "VOTANTES" de EE. UU.) en realidad no lleguemos a NINGÚN LUGAR con nuestras verdaderas necesidades, ya que todos esos @ $$ WIPES allá arriba en Capital Shill ya están comprados y pagados por Wall Street y la clase gobernante en general.
Luego está la "educación" pública adoptada por Prusia. sistema que es donde nosotros, como ciudadanos estadounidenses, somos adoctrinados por primera vez. Lo primero que se nos debe lavar el cerebro es mantener la atención con nuestras manos sobre nuestros corazones y prometer nuestra lealtad eterna.

I am so glad a documentary like this is finally out for the world to see and understand the reasons why Central American immigrants embark on a long, perilous journey to reach the United States, perhaps unaware of the predicament that awaits them on the road to and within the US borders. I am rooting for Fernando for his asylum petition to be finally granted. I congratulate everyone involved in this outstanding documentary!
The children suffered, because the parents left them. They had to be brave and managed this dangerous journey. I cannot see that the mother really love them. But they will have a better life if they could stay with her.
I agree.
i pray for Fernando and his family. i pray for everyone having to go through this issue.. God is watching over you and everything will be okay. i pray the system gets changed.. i will do anything in my power to help those around me. if anyone here is struggling with things, please reach out.
REAL STORIES thank you! for sharing the best documentaries
Excellent presentation of this story of Fernando's family. I'm happy that the US approved the 3 children's papers and my heart breaks for them especially Fernando. I don't understand why his immigration.paper wasn't approved. There father rarely speaks but in his face I can see his love and sorrow for his children. He works hard to provide for his family. Together with the mother they provide love, warmth and strength for the kids.
I can relate best when China said it was truly difficult when she was in her teens without her Mom. This is a beautiful family. I felt grateful for the American lady who helps process the children's.papers. After all what Fernando has gone through, I hope & pray Fernando's immigration paper will be approved soon. Im from the Philippines and watching this video makes me deeply grateful to God
for all that my family have. On this note, may I say my heart and prayers go out to all individuals and families around the world who at the moment are suffering and have suffered from the hands of their fellowman.🥀 Dear Jesus, please we pray for your Divine intervention on our sufferings, help us. In your mighty name, Amen.
Hope Fernando gets asylum I couldn't imagine all your siblings get approved and your last. The anxiety he must be feeling! Alot of people are blessed that don't ever have to go through something like this!
Did that lady really open federal mail for a previous tenant right in front of the camera? That’s so ILLEGAL, it’s literally a federal crime
My gang stalkers stole my birth certificate and stimulus check. They are the devil's new world order soldiers and above the law. Only God can destroy them. They've taken over society and government. It's WW3. A quiet chaos.
When applying to the court, One application per Family should be honoured. Its very upsetting to us the viewers to see Families torn apart. I cannot imagine how it feels for a Mother Father Sister Brother God bless You All xo
yesssss!!!!!!! Thank you xx it should be honoured. The court panel is pathetic too and then immediately taken away without access to a judge or goodbyes to the family, trauma on trauma. So upsetting to see families torn apart! Land of the free, if the panel decides it🤦♀️ I hope Fernando doesn't have to go into gangs to survive. He just wants to be with his family & not have to worry about life or have to constantly look over his shoulder! They waited 2 long years to decline him🤦♀️
Hi Alexandra. Thank you for this beautiful documentary. Please update us when you hear anything about Fernando🙏🏽
Watched the trailer and I'm looking forward to it!
Stories like this need to be shared everywhere to create more empathy in the world 💙
Do you create more empathy? I believe people have the ability to empathize or they don't. I empathize but I am not supportive of wide open borders which comes with a load of horrors itself. America didn't cause the societal issues in these other countries. Those governments have responsibility. These people want to be in America because America is a great place to live. If socialist Democrats get their way, america will be a lot poorer and won't be able to support as much as we do now. Changes are needed and we can help even more people if america thrives economically. Trump was making this a reality which is the irony behind people hating him. Ihope he wins again because if he does everyone will see after another 4 years what was really going on. If he loses the evil central bankers win and america will be on its way to being broke and subjugated. People will realize when its all too late. Trump is not against immigration. He is against wide open borders. Big difference. At the start the boy describes his father being murdered. Those are exactly the people we must keep out as they will bring the conditions these people are trying to escape with them. Immigration the right way is a beautiful thing. Lets improve that and go from there. Be wise.
Congratulations! Wonderful documentary.
Thank you so much for this documentary!!
I pray he got immunity to the states. I just cant believe how heartbreaking and how much he had to go through to bring his family together ❤ 💙
I pray for Fernando! you're not alone brother! God will save you and have faith in him. I hope and wish the best for you! Don't ever get discouraged! and never lose hope! this is the time that you have to stay strong and i know it's hard but trust me you got this! again you are loved!
How can this government agency take so long to approve this young mans asylum request along with his other siblings. He tool on the job of keeping his siblings alive since the age of 12. If he is not deserving of asylum I don't know who is. If he is denied, it would be a major failure of our immigration system. Deporting the "child" who was mother, father and protector to his younger siblings who were approved asylum would be beyond sick!
I pray he gets to stay . I so want him to experience happiness. I'm almost or rather I am willing to have him move to Calif and stay with me. I feel he would be safer here. I lived in S Fla for a very long time and am so glad I no longer live there. I cried through this entire show. I don't know what to say to these people that simply want to live free and be near family and love. There is know reason he should not get to stay. Americans have know idea how bad it is in many of these county's. And so I pray.
Your comment made my heart happy. I agree!
Many prayers for Fernando, my heart goes out for him. Pls God with an honest heart many out here are asking you for his approval ❤️🙏
It's amazing to see those with so little give so much. . . we have much too learn !!!!
🙏🏼♥️😍🇻🇪😃Dios los bendiga!!! God bless you all!
jan y sus hermanos son bellas personas se merecen una vida mejor Dios los ampare y los favorezcas
My heart goes out to Fernando so much :'( I don't get how the parents could leave their children to go off for years living their best lives all the while their children are being raped, dealing with extreme violence and witnessing murders and stuck in poverty. I'd be leaving with my children or staying put with them.
Espero que mi compatriota logre su asilo, Ten fe en Dios jovencito, eres bueno y fuiste el padre y protector de tus hermanos SEGURO DIOS TE RECOMPENSARA!!.
I hope that my compatriot get his asylum . You must have feith in God young man; you are a good guy and were as a father to your siblings and protected them, I pretty sure that God will reward you
.
Bendito Dios. La violencia es terrible, Dios los bendiga cada instante.
Fernando I watched this and feel so heartbroken for what you are going through, and this time you must wait to find out whether you will be approved. I am keeping in my prayers & my heart; after seeing this story I want to find a way to help. It is not right, what is happening with children caught crossing into the US, and many of us that have lived here have no idea about the truth of what our country is doing - keeping children from their families & deporting some members & letting other's stay - breaking the families apart. You are such a strong and good young man, please Fernando do not let this break you. I am praying to God for you every night in my prayers, and am hoping we will get to hear the rest of your story when your court date comes! Do not think we are all like this in this country - there are many of us just learning how awful the system is & we are fighting for changes to happen to change things for the better. I send you my belief in you, and love to you. May God help you keep your faith through this hard time. Much love to you ♡
❤️❤️
Excellent documentary !! My prayers are with Fernando. Hope and wish he gets the asylum. Stay strong 🙏
I felt really sad for Fernando! That young man had a lot on his shoulders and after all he had witnessed he then took care of his siblings and doing his best to protect them. My God the pain, the pain and sadness they had to endured. Anyone knows me I’ll take them and give them the best life God had attended for them. 😢 proverty stinks!!!😢
my heart aches for Fernando, I truly hope his asylum gets approved so he can be with his family.m thank you for this documentary, I hope you can update us on his case.
Wow! Thia documentary is very difficult to watch!!!😢😢😢
Aún No Entendemos Nada, Cuánto Daño Hacemos a Los Propios Seres Seres Humanos. Que Tristeza Vivir en este mundo. Con tantas Injusticias.
Praying for him to get approved! Has to be hard and stressful for him everyday waking up to see if he’s going to be approved or denied. 😔 I’m going to pray for you 🙏🏽 2 years is some time, do your best to succeed! You took care of your siblings and I pray you get approved and can finally smile and live life
This is an amazing documentary... I never knew...
I was born here Alabama USA but I DO NOT support tearing families apart... We have enough room for everyone..
We are a country of immigrants and emmigrants....✌&❤
Are you serious? We are the 3rd most populas country and covid has more homeless in the US then we have ever seen it. No triple taxed homeowners can't afford anymore. We have to draw a line to immigration invasion
Yeah, I disagree. We can not take on the world. We have our gangs and housing issues we can't fix. Too bad the citizens aren't armed to fight back against those horrible gangs.
Fernando el que más se dedicó a sus hermanos, cuidándolos y viendo por ellos…. Que duro vivir así.
More stories like this please! 🙏🏽
This was so sad, I'm glad the family is safe but my heart breaks for Fernando. Would love an update on Fernando bless him
🇨🇦 I just don't understand. These poor kids have been left mentally scared in so many ways! 😭
A truly human story - my reminder is set!
Fernando is such a beautiful Man ....I wish him the best in life ❤️ and I hope he got approved
I know this has been out for a couple years but was there ever any updates on whether Fernando was granted asylum? I pray he was! He deserves everything and more! What an incredible young man!
Fernando you deserve the best.. can totally relate
Please make more documentaries like this.
Much love and prayers to and for them all, Fernando especially!!
While the story is moving and tragic, until these countries right themselves and take care of their citizens nothing will be fixed. I feel for those kids. Very brave
It's true.
I can't wait to see it!! I can't believe the day is finally here.
They have nothing left but God to believe in....been let down by so many....we are so privileged to be born in the countries we have been born in...very sad...
Qué documental más valiente, enhorabuena! Lo veré, seguro
