Every day dozens of
decommissioned school buses leave the United States on a southward migration
that carries them to Guatemala, where they are repaired, repainted, and
resurrected as the brightly-colored camionetas that bring the vast majority of
Guatemalans to work each day.
Since 2006, nearly 1,000 camioneta drivers and fare-collectors have been murdered for either refusing or being unable to pay the extortion money demanded by local Guatemalan gangs. LA CAMIONETA follows one such bus on its transformative journey: a journey between North and South, between life and death, and through an unfolding collection of moments, people, and places that serve to quietly remind us of the interconnected worlds in which we live.
