The Darien Gap is a jungle between the North and South American continents consisting of a large watershed, forest, and mountains in Panama and Colombia. When I learned that beneath the canopy, countless African, Middle Eastern, and Haitian migrants are fighting for their lives, I couldn't help but wonder- Why are they there? Why are they dying? Why have I never heard of this? Why is it so hard to find information on the situation? ? and what can be done? In March of 2021, I flew to Colombia, where I tracked down a group of migrants, joined them on a march of fear and suffering through the Darien Jungle and into Panama. We faced murderous bandits, navigated a deadly jungle, and were held in a refugee prison where the migrants were are all but encouraged to die.My goal was to survive and to help others survive the crossing. My hope was to find a way to help the situation. My promise was to help tell the story of what is happening at our continent's southern border. This is my attempt to make good on that promise.
