Every day, numerous migrants cross the border between Mexico and the United States, with Ciudad Juárez serving as one of the main transit points on their journey north. For many, the crossing marks the beginning of an uncertain stage: some are returned, while others remain in the U.S. with ongoing legal proceedings. The journey doesn’t end at the border—it continues in an unfamiliar environment, where they must adapt, rebuild their lives, and face the challenges of a complex system.

Conflict

From 2008 to 2011, Ciudad Juarez held the dubious title of the world's most violent city. Today, it still ranks among the most dangerous places. This border city is teeming with life and culture, yet it's also marked by death. People come here in search of the American dream, but sadly, many find only tragedy.
