Joseph Rodriguez Follows the Migrant Trail

Mr. Rodriguez was talking about “Migrantes,” his long-term project following several immigrant families as they journeyed from rural Mexico, past the border in Arizona and on to various parts of the American South. They encounter hardship – even death – as they go on to accept menial, backbreaking jobs on farms. But they face all these challenges together, as family.
