Humanity on the Move is a collection of films that includes two 30 minute documentaries about human migration and refugees. In LOS COMANDOS, a teenage emergency responder wrestles with whether to leave El Salvador or stay and work amidst rampant gang violence and threats to her friends and family. In TOWARDS THE NORTH, at a tiny refugee shelter in Tapachula, Mexico we meet Nelly and her daughter Joseline, who like millions of others, are fleeing extreme gang violence in Central America.
