YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Jakelin Caal and her father left their indigenous community in Guatemala in search of the American Dream. Instead, they found tragedy. A few days later, Jakelin died in U.S. Border Patrol custody. We spoke to her grieving family during her wake ceremony, as they described the harsh economic reality that forced Jakelin's father, and thousands of other Guatemalans, to make the dangerous journey across the border.
