The caravan of immigrant asylum seekers traveling through Mexico was treated last week to an outdoor screening of “Coco” when the caravan stopped at an unfinished bus terminal-turned-shelter in the state of Oaxaca.
Thanks to solar power, the goodwill of the townspeople and resources from the local government the migrant travelers found a safe place to sleep, eat and enjoy Pixar’s “Coco,” which they saw on an inflatable screen.
The purpose of playing the animated film was to give the travelers a moment of enjoyment before the holiday the film celebrates: Día de Muertos.
Twitter responded with overwhelming positivity commenting on the thoughtfulness to show the film despite their difficult circumstances.
