Travelling the harsh migrant route through Latin America to the USA

It's a heartbreaking yet fascinating journey of the poor being dreamers against incredible odds.

Benjamin Rich a.k.a. Bald & Bankrupt (UK) and Timmy Karter (Greece) became extreme YouTubers to show us the pain of parents and their toddlers daring to dream of the U.S.A.

From Venezuela and Colombia, through The Darien Gap in Panama’s jungle, to catch the The Beast train through Mexico (where Timmy ‘donates’ his gallbladder).

I followed every Bald trip through the Soviet Union, until Russia ridiculously banned him. I’d seen a few of Timmy’s, and found him grittier and more real than most vloggers. To have them team up here was a treat.

They obviously had the advantage of money over the migrants, and would sometimes catch alternate transport, but they experience enough to clearly show that it’s hell.

The second episode was my favourite but the most heartwarming event was in the third.
