Every day dozens of decommissioned school buses migrate from the United
States to Guatemala, where they are repaired, repainted, and
resurrected as the brightly-colored camionetas that bring people to
work each day. Since 2006, nearly 1,000 camioneta drivers and
fare-collectors have been killed for not paying the extortion money
demanded by local gangs. LA CAMIONETA follows the migration of one bus
as a vehicle into the stories of five men whose lives become
intertwined with its resurrection. Like the bus that unites their
stories, the choice between obsolescence and innovation defines their
decisions, propelling them toward an increasingly uncertain future.
