The Best of Central America

The Best of Central America

Seattle-area high school teacher Ron Podmore found his classroom increasingly filled with migrant students from Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras. As he built meaningful teaching relationships, he became curious about the stories and cultures behind their journeys, stories far richer and more complex than the narratives dominating American news cycles. Armed with a camera and an invitation from one of his students, Ron embarks on a transformative journey to Guatemala, and the lush Caribbean interior of Honduras. Expecting to confront stereotypes, he instead discovers vibrant cultures, resilience, and humanity that far exceeds his expectations. This film captures Ron’s eye-opening journey and celebrates the untold stories of these remarkable communities.
