SYNOPSIS
When Manuel writes a song that makes a dangerous drug cartel angry, he is forced to flee his home in Honduras to go to the United States. From a radio cabin in North Carolina, he recounts his harsh escape from death and describes the challenges of assimilating into a new world as an undocumented immigrant.
