Produced by JRS Colombia. Millions of Venezuelans have left their homes to start over, but the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic and the political tension to manage the crisis have been an obstacle in their way. The social panorama has left them only one option: to walk in search of a new home. The challenges of the road are not easy and vulnerability is on the surface. This is the story of those who throw themselves on the road in body and spirit, of those who escape as tradition and resistance, and of those who build paths to hope with initiatives of fraternity.
