Two children, two treks, one recurring question: how far will a kid go to reach a classroom. In the Potosí mountains of Mexico, thirteen-year-old Israel Ramirez lives with his parents in Puerto de la Cruz, a near-abandoned former mining town where temperatures hit 42°C and rattlesnakes, wild cats, and scorpions share the trail he walks to school. The film follows him down exposed mountain paths in a landscape emptied by the collapse of the mining economy. In the second half, eleven-year-old Youssef, a Bedouin boy from the Jordan Valley in the West Bank, sets out alone with his donkey across arid rock, passing near Israeli military patrols on his route to class. Camera crews travel the actual routes with each child, capturing the terrain, the heat, and the small daily calculations that make the walk survivable. Part of the Most Dangerous Ways to School series, this episode pairs two very different deserts to show how geography, poverty, and conflict can turn a school commute into a real risk.
