Oh.
But
up here,
their heads may feel lost in the clouds.
Even though it's the jungle mist.
Dragging them further
and taking on a new evil.
The unknown of Panama,
a country with nothing for them, baa
a swift, expensive ticket
on through north
and leaving behind another the cash drain
of organized Colombian cartels.
The porters give parting wisdom with you.
Also.
I mean, you
know,
one of the lessons you
pay, I feel
is
tired
of it.
And euphoria up here
is completely misplaced.
Let's go slowly.
The scale of the lie,
some have been told, emerges
This isn't a short walk ahead
Especially acute is Anna's plight.
She's 12
disabled and gets epileptic convulsions.
Her mother, Natalia,
is the only one who can care for her.
But it's so much harder up here.
Up here
She later
tells us
she was told
the descent was a matter of 2 hours.
But it's not
worrying
And literally meters from Colombia,
the ground turns
people as they walk, just discarding
their shoes.
A real sense of the atmosphere changing.
Now we've crossed the border into Panama.
People coming together,
perhaps fearing for their own safety.
And this much is just possibly going
get your feet out of it.
But
I.
I got to tell you,
this man who didn't want to be named.
Now with nothing on his feet
but his resolve,
pause and imagine where you've come from.
If you're willing to do this barefoot
with a woolen sweater and plastic bags
pierce, your feet will break an ankle
in this mud. Maybe your brave

more about with the former

The mother, Natalia,
has managed
to find a Haitian man to help her
move her disabled daughter, Anna.
Forget you and cover up
when they come into the target as well.
Mama. Puerto Rico.
Hmm.
A little
L.A.P.D.
Come in a no queda,
no Puerto Rican stuff.
So
you know both Boston
the border.
Well, so much.
This route is insanely steep.
And so many of the people
that we've spoken to
on the way are complaining about how
this was nothing like
the easy route they were promised.
Understandably, it doesn't take long
for the Haitian volunteer to tire
and then faster.
Ana might be having a fit or just tired.
Or both. Or neither.
This could be how she often gets.
We just don't know.
And without her mother way
back behind her on the trail,
nobody really knows what she needs.
The Haitian migrants
who helped begins cutting a stretcher,
hoping others will come
back on ahead.
But they all face the same problem.
They can't move her
without taking a further from her mother.
So she is stuck waiting by her window.
And you can't.
But sometimes the jungle throws back
a moment of life.
And this day, it's Lewin's turn.
The little boy with a terrible cough
and fever
we met
earlier
has made a miraculous recovery overnight,
as if another life
has been breathed into him
by

Sometimes the forest suddenly breaks
and you realize
just how many of us there are here.
Even in the shallows,
the scraps of us
as a species are overwhelming
Link is from Wuhan.
Among the growing Chinese here,
he doesn't want to show his face
and learned about the gap from tick tock.
First from Hong Kong.
From Oak Island.
Hong Kong is on an island cookie.
Wow.
And then a club from Ecuador.
Yeah. In Colombia. Yes.
A little bit of Basil Marley's.
A little bit of her.
Yeah.
My money Chinese come here because
the cha Chinese society
is not a barrier.
I feel for
me.
He's paused to rest his knee,
but also run out of food already
Talk on their third dawn out here
turns to how much further there really is
Jean-Pierre was told
it would be a much shorter walk.
Not since the police
bought a toothless tiger with Marjorie.

Yeah.
I'm officially my firm in Israel.
The liberals. I mean
the general government is
your business.
Anna the disabled
12 year old
has been reunited with her mother.
But they are again stuck
and without food.
You can see that coming up in my kitchen.
Never quite getting on
with like I've never met.
But we are not seen.
Have we done something?
I have no particular mannerism
and I'm a performer,
she says.
They're only here
as that same medicine
became unaffordable in Venezuela.
Why not put the decade
ahead of the Islamic world?
Just a second, or maybe even better.
No.
Three again, I'm at mine
and maybe you'll get me one more.
Let me ask a quick
I mean, that's just crossing the line
when you can't get outside
and you forget
just after dawn, they set out again
the canopy begins to feel
like a shroud in timing them,
cutting them off from the future.
They're pushing towards
nature's most beguiling way.
Of saying, don't come here
for so much of every day.
You stare at your feet,
your most vital assets here,
hoping they land safely,
especially in the opaque river
where one loose
footing can break an ankle
Most migrants wear these rubber boots
which fill with water curdling your feet.
But Manuel and Tamara,
who we met on the first night,
have their eyes on the finish line that
this route is littered with obstacles,
choke points and lines
in a bold new
lot
hours on their feet
without the comfort of knowing
you were at least moving
for ever damp, striding waiting.
What's crazy is over
the last hour
we probably haven't traveled
directly about 50 to 100 yards,
but this is just one
enormous traffic
jam of people through the jungle.
Sad fact is, more of them do it
the more they slow each other down
bottlenecks like this
and the greater risk they
put themselves on
Time and time again, though,
this ordeal summons
something beautiful from people

a glue binding them to each other
to help, cajole, care
sometimes for strangers of survival.

what passport you're carrying,
but it cannot alter the pain
how are you finding the road?
Yeah.
So this is a museum on the rocks.
It saw my mom fall down so many times.
Yes, I'm sorry.
Yes, I may be up for that either. Yes.
How can you hook it up with that?
But it's a horrible story.
We were there.
No one knows
how
no, I
I wish I could
set it up before, you know.
What's up? What does that matter?
And what the
It seems almost impossible
in the chaos two days ago,
but Wilson has met up again
with his parents
not in the Miami
swimming pool, though, just yet.
He wants something different,
something we'll see Tuesday.
Oh, yeah.
And then you hit out to me,
and you'll be asking me, can you promise
exhaustion
now decides everything
this camp, at first,
a handful of people
and then suddenly overflowing.
Gendry admits they are out of food.
They gave it all away
earlier, thinking
this was a two day hike.
More urgently,
she needs to soothe her mother,
who's gripped her, stick
too hard to stay upright,
her gloves, no help
the pristine, unbothered
green hides
a dark, violent change
that's been afoot here for years.
These people have become the new weight,
the new traffic.
The cartels move
less drugs along these routes.
These days,
we're told
these human packages
pay to move themselves
nobody steals them.
There are
few arrests to be made,
nothing to raid out here.
And all the risks are taken
by the packages themselves.
