Run and Drive

Julio is a Guatemalan ophthalmologist – he runs his own clinic. Yet he must supplement his income by picking up severely damaged vehicles in the United States several times a year – he repairs them and sells them in his own country.

Accidents, racketeering, kidnapping… Embark on a journey of more than 5,000 kilometers through the United States, Mexico and Guatemala. Discover these hundreds of drivers who, like Julio, are willing to risk their lives to participate in this black economy based on our over-consumption.
