In this special edition of the Crisis Cast, we'll hear the personal account of a dangerous trek across multiple borders in 2023. We invite you to listen in on Thom Serafin's intimate conversation with a couple from Venezuela, who traveled on foot and on top of train cars in search of the American Dream. Lissa Druss and Thom Serafin set the stage for this family's story with a powerful dialogue about the challenges of managing immigration.

We'll hear why a young family would risk it all to leave their homeland, what life in Chicago was like during the winter of 2024, and what sustained their hope during their treacherous journey. The policies discussed do not reflect those of the current Trump administration. This episode was originally released in January of 2024.
