Migrating to the US through the deadly Darien Gap | Fault Lines Documentary

Swanny Flores fled Ecuador with her two young daughters and 12-year-old brother after her boyfriend, a local gang leader, murdered her mother and threatened to kill the rest of her family.
She wants to apply for asylum in the United States, but the only way to get there is through the Darien Gap, a 106km (66-mile) stretch of remote and perilous jungle in Colombia and Panama that is the only land route for migrants heading north from South America.
Amid historic regional migration and new travel restrictions from countries in Central America for migrants, the Darien Gap has become one of the most travelled migration routes in the world and a burgeoning humanitarian crisis. Last year, more than half a million people went through the jungle. A quarter of them were children. This is the story of one family’s journey through the Darien Gap.

    How do you know it was the truth? You don't. You weren't there. Only he and that little girl was. He could have purposely ran off with her, assaulted her, then said his little armed story. The food could be gone bc he ate it. People quit making judgements based on one side of a story. That little girl could have been taken advantage of. She also could have not been taken advantage of. We weren't there; no one was. Great parenting btw to not keep you small daughter in your sight at least since you handed her off to another child...

    There are so many reasons why a road hasn't been constructed through this treacherous jungle. I just watched a really informative video about the logistical nightmare it would be, plus the diplomatic reasons. In order for Panama to remain Panama, and not be forced into conflict with neighboring Colombia? It makes sense to leave the Darien Gap as it is.

    I hope by seeing this, Americans are more grateful that people all over the world dream to live in their country at any cost. I myself brought my son to US tens of years ago ( legally). Now my son has become a US citizen and hold a good job. Lives in a beautiful house with his American wife. I've since going back to my native country, and always Thank God that I've succeeded to put my son to be where he is now. Moreover, to see how hard to make a living in my native country now. Although, America is not perfect, but for me still the best country in the world.

It's a difficult choice to make but I could never forgive myself if I made that journey and helped other children along the way to then discover that my children had starved to death or been hurt, murdered in my homeland. If I'd found myself in this situation I'd definitely take the risk and bring my children. People make different choices in life, some we win and some we lose, that's life.

    I am Panamanian. I hope the elected president DOES NOT even attempt this promise. First, because he refused to explain how he would do it (he was asked and point blank stared into the camera, and said nothing. His campaign documents aren’t of much depth either). Closing the Darién means investing heavily on recruiting a HUGE part of the workforce in the police, even with equipment that would equate to a military body, prohibited by our constitution. It also means introducing heavy machinery into this inhospitable area, but also risking displacement of already vulnerable populations. You cannot attempt to do that without a plan; the money is easier to get, but that alone means these people will be subjected to even more risk in the wilderness PLUS the added risks of dealing with a poorly trained but well equipped police. Other more advanced monitoring systems have been tried to be implemented, but those systems have been used for political repression and NOT for its intended purposes (right now, an ex president is in jail for this). Above all, it’s good to remember that people will try to move through Panama, no matter what. They will see the land and sea, and find a way. You missed one of the most important parts of the documentary: there were safer routes, but once they were closed because of political pressure, people started risking their lives and not just their livelihoods. I wholeheartedly hope president Mulino IMPROVES conditions for migrants, which is economically feasible and positive, rather than opening an unconstitutional sinkhole for funds, professionals and people’s hope.

Ask Mexico what happens to housing costs when Americans start illegally migrating in mass to your nation. Americans need somewhere to live too. Right now, our middle class is getting priced out of houses and apartments because of migrants. So, now there is a quiet outward migration of Americans - for the first time in history. Mexico is not digging it. We drive up housing costs wherever we migrate too. This doesn't occur in vacuum.

    Some people only talk from the comfort of their privileges and don’t understand that the situation of this family, especially coming from Ecuador. It’s obvious that no one wants to go through that kind of situation, neither does one to put their own children through that. But these people are just trying to survive and looking for a better life and future since they have lost everything and don’t have any support, neither from the relatives nor from the government. I hope that people would try to understand the situation instead of just making assumptions and attacking.

    yes very true. Sadly, many don't care about socio-economic issues until it affects them directly. Look at Black Americans' struggles being brought to the Americas as slaves, yet no one cares. Some people get upset if you even bring it up, you're told to get over it and move on. History is history and just because some people are uncomfortable with it doesn't mean you forget and stop talking about it.

    The United States put their countries in this situation in the first place by meddling in their political affairs. Read a bit of history, real history, not the lies told in US schools, and you’ll see how much damage your country has done to Latin America. Enjoy the consequences!

    I feel like every American should see this. I feel like this would change so many minds about immigrants coming to the US. Not all are criminals and vagrants, most are just people trying to help themselves and their families.

    My mother said to me, shame on these parents who put their kids through this to come here…whereas I was like, mom, doesn’t it just tell you how DESPERATE these mothers are that they would do this? It’s all in your perspective. I don’t feel angry that people would risk this. I feel horrified that anyone would feel this is their best option and the fact that so many people do, should tell you that it isn’t some delusion of a few people of bad judgment, it’s a fact that this is the best option for a large number of people. And for that, I feel only compassion that so many people suffer so much in this life. I did absolutely nothing to deserve being born into an easier life.

    I know it's easy to criticize her for risking her 2 young daughters, I've even expressed my wrath at them, but after watching, I can see the desperation in her for her brother and children to have a better life. I don't agree with all the mass illegal immigration, but I still feel pity for her and her family

    If at all you knew when you were likely round about going to go and flee as a migrant from your country weeks before you could do physical body work to get yourself ready in strength and durability to do the days and days of trekking. I wonder if any migrants use their internet to search videos like these ones on what it is actually like to cross.
