An Amnesty International film shot in Mexico by director Marc Silver. This provocative film asks viewers to put themselves in the shoes of a migrant for 3mins and imagine what it's like to be forced to leave your home and country behind.

Amnesty International is running a big campaign calling on Mexico to protect migrants. But we also know that small things can make a big difference.

On the journey, untreated blisters and infected feet don’t just hurt, they can put lives at risk.

For every 4 USD you give, Amnesty International will send 3 pairs of socks to a migrant. This will cover the cost of buying and sending the socks to a migrants shelter in Mexico and a little extra to support our campaigning work. The 4 USD charge will be made in Mexican pesos (approximately 52 mexican pesos).
