Most Dangerous Ways To School | MEXICO | Free Documentary
Every Monday, little Lorenzo struggles alone as he makes his way over slippery scree and past steep canyons. And all this just so he can go to school and receive something to eat there. The 6-year-old lives in northwest Mexico in the extensive Sierra Madre Occidental. This is the home of his people, the Rarámuri. These indigenous peoples live well-hidden in the mountains and have hardly any contact with the outside world. Their daily lives revolve around agriculture and livestock; poverty is a big issue for the Rarámuri. To escape this fate, Lorenzo must literally overcome more than 1000 metres altitude. One small lapse of concentration, one careless step and Lorenzo could fall off the edge.
At school, Teresa, Angela and Philomena sit next to him. These sisters, aged 6, 8 and 9, can see the school from their home, which sits on a plateau opposite. But to get there requires a journey of many hours, which takes them over narrow and rocky paths, onto sharp rock edges, across a stream, and – just before they reach their destination – forces them to climb again steeply uphill over smooth rocks on all fours. If it is raining, this journey becomes an almost impossible one: the stream is transformed within minutes into a torrent, and the rocks are suddenly as slippery as an ice rink.
These children undertake their journey to school all by themselves. For up to four hours, they march through one of the most beautiful but also one of the most dangerous Mexican landscapes. Throughout this journey they all have only one goal in mind: to ultimately find a job in a city and lead a better life.

i just wonder how this camera crew kept up with these children. you can see these youngsters are natural in this enviroment..
My god my tummy turn over I cried for these children I pray protection for them all ..its so dangerous am watching from 🇯🇲🇯🇲🙏🙏
I'm mexican and I didn't know the obstacles youngsters like Lorenzo face in order to get a better life I'm a person who chosen partying and friends instead of education this story made me cry I whish Lorenzo and all his crew accomplish all their dreams.
Ellos merecen que el gobierno los ayude, da coraje que no puedan hacer algo tan simple por ellos como darles educación de calidad.
Most of these families claim they want their children to have a better future why education is important to them but they end up not finishing school cause their parents want them to help out more likely work hard at home for them.
Man, Lorenzo really remind me of my childhood in Mexico! What a brave young man!
Mashallah, just for education
😢😢ojalá el presidente de Mexico viera este documental , y ayudará con lo más necesario, Dios Bendiga y proteja estos niños y les conceda llegar a cumplir sus metas 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Locked the kids? Or what the classroom?
May God bless these kids with health strength and knowledge to achieve there dreams in this world.
the indigenous people of mexico are so beautiful and strong
I hope that in every country in all small villages and towns, that in every primary school there should also secondary and tertiary schools for the local or indigenous people. They need education to be more self sufficient in food and in health care, as well as preserving their customs and traditions.
Incredible
Lorenzo my little dude my Hart goes out to any child who has to go thru any journey like that once let alone everyday
Lorenzo hat's off to you my dear Son ❤️❤️
Trust me I have no words to express..You are Brave fearless fabulous…. Proud of you Son definitely you will succeed on day
Me looking for a good spot to build my house in Minecraft
"Hunger for education"??? Are you kidding? Knowledge is open. If one wants to learn, there are countless ways, just as there are many ways to get water. Schools are completely outdated and kids hate them.
And Lorenzo is just 6yrs old. May God bless this young man.
it’s crazy how they have to travel such a long way but still remember how to get there
THATS HOW MY MOM GOT HER SKILLS AND DAD THEY WERE BORN IN MEXICO AND ME IN AMERICA 💀✨✨ I wanna get skills too :).
The end of the documentary is very choppy and pixelated. I thought it was my connection until I realized if you rewind it and replay those parts, it will always play the same no matter what connection youre on.
i felt pitty for lorenzo😢 at very young age he have to struggle for his life.May God always guide your way lorenzo🙏
