Each step of the way through Mexico, he and other migrants, most of them children, are hunted like animals. Gangsters control the tops of the trains. Bandits rob and get rid of migrants along the tracks. Corrupt cops all along the route are out to fleece and deport them. To evade Mexican police force and immigration specialists, they must hop onto and off the moving boxcars they call El Tren de la Muerte - the Teach of Fatality.Enrique pushes ahead using his wit, courage, and wish - and the kindness of strangers. It is an epic voyage, one thousands of immigrant children make each year to find their moms in america.Based on the Los Angeles Times newspaper series that acquired two Pulitzer Prizes, one for feature writing and another for feature picture taking, Enrique’s Quest is the ageless story of people torn apart, the yearning to be jointly again, and a guy who will risk his life to get the mother he enjoys.
