Run for Your Life

For thousands of young Hondurans, the only hope of finding a way out of the grinding poverty of their existence is to hop a train headed for 'el norte'--the north; either the United States or Canada. They'll risk their lives on a dangerous and illegal 5000-kilometre journey.

Travel with them on a sometimes terrifying, always dramatic, route that is their one chance for a new future. Watch Part One of Run For Your Life with reporter Bob McKeown. It's reality television like you've never seen it before.

Watch Part Two of this story.
