El Laberinto de la Muerte: The Map of Death
…ni la muerte me detendrá: ...not even death will stop me

For over a decade, 150 – 200 human remains are found each year in the desert south of Tucson. Samaritans hike the trails daily looking for migrants in distress.

In the poster, the man’s chest is covered with a map of the trails we search near the US/Mexico border. Each red dot marks where one desert crosser’s life ended this year.

Two poster sizes: 18x24 or 12x16
Price: $10 (either size) + Shipping: $7.00
To order: info@tucsonsamaritans.org, or 520-549-8903
(The poster you purchase will not have the watermark "El Desierto, 2014.")
