Synopsis: Voices without Borders traces the exodus from Central America’s Northern Triangle by weaving together the testimonies of those pursuing the American Dream. Through the voices of women and LGBTQ+ individuals, it speaks about the precarious journeys of departure, arrival, and return. While exposing violence, inequality, and trafficking, this documentary affirms migration as a human right and a testament to resilience and collective hope. 

本片記錄了從中美洲「北三角」出發的集體遷徙,將那些追尋美國夢的人們的證言交織在一起。透過女性與 LGBTQ+ 個體的身影與發聲,影片述說了關於啟程、抵達與歸途的顛沛旅程。這部紀錄片在揭露暴力、不平等與人口販運現實的同時,也堅定地將移居視為一種基本人權,更是對韌性與集體希望的深刻見證。
