As a high school and later an adjunct college Spanish professor, I knew that my predominantly upper middle class white students would relate to the students in this video. This can be so difficult to find when you want to reach out culturally and leave a lasting impression. I also wanted my students to have a point of reference for people who reside in the Northern Triangle. People, who have been much misaligned as criminals by an uninformed administration. Finding documentaries about the strife of drug cartels are easily accessible. The environmental, political, and economical conflicts and violence terrorizes the most vulnerable. I found these young men reached my students better than scholars, journalists, and activists.
