This past spring Anna Bosch of Ruido Photo, in Spain, and El Faro, in El Salvador, came to Los Angeles to document Central Americans as they pursue the American Dream. Elder Ulloa is one such Central American (he’s from Honduras) pursuing exactly this dream (he left the maquilas of San Pedro Sula for money and mobility in the United States, making it across the border on his third try after two arrests and one kidnapping by Los Zetas, the narco-turned-life dealers in Mexico). His story in the U.S. is largely set on The Corner. Also available en EspaƱol.
