Although he had never been the most present father, José Sendero, an elderly Salvadoran, has always wanted the best for his daughter, Helena, who now lives far away in America. When an unexpected messenger arrives at his door, José must decide whether to bury his head in the sand, or leave everything he knows behind to be there for his daughter when she needs him most. Written and illustrated by Mexico City-based comic artist Augusto Mora, Illegal Cargo is a 100-page graphic novel inspired by the touching true stories of everyday migrants on perilous journeys North from Central and South America.
