It is one of the most dangerous journeys on the planet, but this year will likely become the biggest with 1 million people in during death, dehydration, robbery and rape as they seek to cross the Darien gap and head north to the United States.
This is an intimate portrait of entire families on the move. Children separated from parents. Sick disabled girls, desperately in need of medicine. the elderly struggling to stay upright. and the bodies of those who haven’t made it along the litter-strewn riverbed. But shining through the daily agony and endurance, there is an extraordinary spirit of survival and generosity, to fellow humans, in which complete strangers put themselves, and even greater risk to help people they met minutes earlier. A striking picture of human resilience and kindness.

The screening will be followed by an exchange with Brice Lainé and Natalie Gallón
