Award-winning documentarian Judy Jackson brings the story of the ABBA migrant shelter in Celaya, one of Mexico's most dangerous cities. Founded by Pastor Ignacio Ramirez Martinez, it helps tens of thousands of migrants who are fleeing their homes because of violence, crime, climate change and corruption in Latin America. Many are women and children. All are desperately searching for a place where they can bring up their children in peace.
