A Long Walk to America

Everyone has a story. Some share the story, and some never make it out alive to talk about it. A Long Walk to America shares real-life lessons from the young life of Los, a boy from El Salvador, who walks to America with his best friend. Los escaped from the civil war in his homeland in the 1990s as a child war soldier. Growing up in the civil war, he had seen death squads and violence every day. Los shares his story of how the USMC saved him and his friends from the regime. He had enough gruesome violence to literally make his stomach turn. Los has no stomach and had to battle stomach cancer after living in America. A Long Walk to America is a real heartbreaker. Not everyone who makes it to America has a happy ending.
