A journey through hell: walking the migrant route through the Darién gap

Thank you Guillermo for taking this journey to be able to report to us.

shocking... what a choice these poor people are making: reminds me how lucky we are to live in cosy homes and sleep at night.

TY for taking this Journey. It must have Broken your Heart over and over again seeing people not be able to carry on, people swept into rivers, etc. I want badly to go there, with any $$ I have in savings and could scrounge up, to help people through the jungle. Im scared I would jump into water to save people and Id probably just drown myself as well. That trip must make you feel " hard" inside. God Bless you my friend my brother. Peace from Big Jim New Hampshire USA aka Boston Strong

From India, accidentally learn about Darien Gap and searched internet and found this post. First of all it is amazing post. second I never knew migration is a business . horrible and shocking . Third it is the example of human suffering . We also had similar experience after independence in 1947 where hindu migration took place in millions from East Pakistan to India and from West Pakistan also. My heart melt to see the suffering of human soul in the hands of few powerful people in the earth . I pray for peace and happiness for all humanity

I first listened to this on the podcast, my heart was aching listening. Coming back months later watching it humans are really failing humans

Thank you so mucj for reporting this ! I didn't know how dangerous it was for the migrants and how cold hearted for the pananamian police to say that that lady was gonna make it. They just didnt want to go get her 😢I hope francesca made it❤

Thanks for your videos on this. bald and bankrupt just did the Venezuela caravan to the usa border. His Darien gap was similiar to yours. Lots of Venezuelan people.

I have been trying to legally bring my country to the U.S. for years now and we even paid fees to do this. This is insane! This is promoting lawlessness!

Just read about the Darien Gap on NPR News. Thank you Guillermo and Channel 4 News for this excellent report. Very sad that human beings are treated so terribly.

It’s a really tough journey for these desperate people. I would also do it if I was in the same position. Life must be very challenging for these people.

We need tough people here in the US! Hope you settle here in Tulsa! If you’re an Electrician or Deck builder hurry there’s a ridiculous waitlist for house repairs in my city

I recently heard they are Building Roads through the Darien Gap now ?? To perhaps not only carry people to walk BUT also so Tanks etc will be able to come through?? Came from very high up reliable sources..

It's like going on crusade but US is no hollyland for sure.

Yes! Now I Understand why the rumors of encouraging people to travel illegal to USA from Colombia is a BUSINESS! I have friends in Colombia that are telling me that travel to USA on bare food is not too bad and anybody can do it. I am in shock when i see so many people that they live in Colombia,have a job in Colombia and still thinking in cross the border. It's insane! I told them don't do it! Who ever is behind this is making the business $$

SOME FRIENDLY AMERICANS ARE WAITING FOR YOUR ARRIVAL.

🙏

But what would Darien think?

I have NO empathy for those trying to invade our lands.

I understand why migrants want to move to the USA. I don’t understand why people cannot apply legally to enter the United States of America. My family came here fro Syria legally 100 years ago. They came here to work and raise my family safely and to contribute to the the United States not come here illegally expecting welfare and freebies that USA citizens cannot get. Come to the USA legally!

So how many migrants THIS “journalist” took in to his home?!
