The Guatemalan documentary “La Camioneta: The Journey of One American School Bus,” from American director Mark Kendall, sheds light on a little known connection between the United States and Central America. After discovering that most of Guatemala’s public transportation buses – known as camionetas – are actually refurbished American school buses, Kendall set out to capture the process by which these vehicles gained a second life. In doing so, he has created a work of sociological significance as well as a surprisingly personal account of a community that has ensured its survival by salvaging these buses. The film begins its lengthy journey at a rural Pennsylvania auction, held in an empty field teeming with decommissioned school buses that still operate efficiently and are generally in good condition; they are only eight to 12 years old, after all. Most of the auction’s bidders have traveled from Central America, and many will drive...

Welcome to one of the most moving and technically beautiful trailers we’ve ever had the pleasure of posting in the name of film festival coverage. Mark Kendall‘s La Camioneta: The Journey of One American School Bus is just that – a documentary that charts the “retirement” of a decommissioned school bus sent to Guatemala to be reinvented as a “camioneta,” the most common public transportation vehicle in the country. But being a camioneta is not easy, and neither is being a camioneta driver, as Kendall’s film teaches us that in the past six years alone nearly one thousand drives and and fare collectors have been murdered due to vicious demands by local gangs. Kendall’s film weaves together the camioneta’s tale with that of five men who either make or drive the vehicle, and if the final film is even half as visually interesting and emotionally stirring as this trailer, La...
