Variety
This is uncomfortable subject matter... But it's also tremendous, eye-opening filmmaking -- and that's always worth watching.

Foregrounds the idealistic vulnerability of the boys at its center, risking everything for a better life they can barely imagine.

Chicago Reader
Without resorting to any background narration, Which Way Home raises questions about cross-border immigration policies and the macro-economic causes that propel people from struggling countries to stream into developed ones.

Los Angeles Times
A riveting documentary that taps into the same concept and themes of Sin Nombre, except it's all real and it's all heartbreaking to watch.

Rating: 8/10 --
Even without illustration or allusive images, the children's own descriptions are harrowing.

PopMatters
Despite the subject matter -- terrified children, many who haven't seen their families in years -- Cammisa never gets sentimental, and instead lets those closest to the subject do the talking.

Product Description:
It's no great surprise that making your way into the United States as an illegal alien can be a dangerous business, but for many getting close enough to the border to make the jump is one of the riskiest parts of the journey. A significant number of undocumented immigrants are from Central America and they must cross through Mexico in order to reach the American border. Filmmaker Rebecca Cammisa follows a handful of youngsters as they make their way across the continent with the United States as their ultimate goal in the documentary WHICH WAY HOME. Many of the kids travel by train, hopping rides on a rattletrap line known to locals as "The Beast." This is dangerous enough, with the youngsters riding on top of the cars or holding onto the sides when they can't find an open boxcar, but that's hardly the only risk they face, as violence and criminal predators lay in wait for them along the load road into Mexico and the land of their dreams. WHICH WAY HOME was an official selection at Toronto's 2009 Hot Docs Film Festival.
