NARRATOR:
Tigray, northern Ethiopia. Our investigation began here in the winter of 2016. A group of refugees had just escaped neighboring Eritrea. They were part of a mass exodus, half a million and counting. Thousands of them unaccompanied children.

TOMAS:
[Speaking Tigrinya] We came through where there were a lot of landmines. We were only thinking of escaping to here. Although we knew the mines were there, we didn t think about them. We were just worried about soldiers seeing us. I had tried to escape before. I was caught. They beat me to a pulp, saying, You re the one who led them. You re the one who knows the way. Who are you working for? If I go back they will either kill me or take me to Nakfa [prison].
