    Nick Paton Walsh and his team embark on a perilous journey through the Darien Gap, a notorious 66-mile stretch of jungle between Colombia and Panama. This formidable path is the only land route connecting South America to Central America, posing immense risks like exhaustion, disease, and violence to thousands of migrants aiming for the US. Alongside the staggering increase in travelers, there’s an alarming surge in children making the journey. The migrants gather, ready for the perilous trek that offers hope and opportunity amidst adversity, underlining the universal dream of a better life despite overwhelming challenges.

  • 00:05:00 - 00:10:00

    The migrants, controlled and organized by a cartel, proceed through the jungle towards the US. Despite the dangers of dehydration, disease, and deportation, their hopes center on reaching America. Their journey, mapped by color-coded armbands, signifies their payment and progression through the grueling path. The group consists of diverse nationalities, united by a common dream. Challenges such as separating from loved ones and the harsh natural environment never deter them, underlining their resilience. Yet, amidst hope is despair, illustrated by the increasing number of unaccompanied children and horrifying conditions they endure.

  • 00:10:00 - 00:15:21

    As the journey progresses, the migrants face intensifying challenges while they traverse the jungle. The second day brings added strain as the extent of the hardship becomes apparent. Tensions rise with the growing density of people at makeshift camps. Yet, under the cartel's structured system, they persist. Despite exhaustion and illness, such as a child's worsening fever, they are pushed forward by desperation and the slim prospect of a better future. Every step, though organized by the cartel, is riddled with danger, yet driven by dreams and the dire need to escape the devastations left behind, like climate and conflict, spurring them to persist until they reach the summit and face the journey ahead.

    This is just one enormous
  • 00:00:08
    traffic jam of people through the jungle.
  • 00:00:13
    It's a hot
  • 00:00:15
    war.
  • 00:00:16
    Everybody look, fire.
  • 00:00:18
    Everybody made be die here.
  • 00:00:21
    But
  • 00:00:22
    what was there to see took so
  • 00:00:25
    much
  • 00:00:28
    Good evening.
  • 00:00:28
    Welcome to the whole story.
  • 00:00:29
    I'm Anderson Cooper.
  • 00:00:30
    Starting tonight,
  • 00:00:31
    we are bringing you
  • 00:00:31
    the best of CNN
  • 00:00:32
    storytelling from our reporters
  • 00:00:34
    and anchors all over the world.
  • 00:00:36
    It's one whole story one whole hour.
  • 00:00:38
    Every Sunday at 8 p.m..
  • 00:00:40
    Tonight, we take you on a dangerous
  • 00:00:42
    and difficult journey
  • 00:00:43
    through the debris and gap.
  • 00:00:44
    The only land route
  • 00:00:45
    connecting South America
  • 00:00:46
    to Central America.
  • 00:00:48
    It's a 66 mile
  • 00:00:49
    stretch of jungle
  • 00:00:50
    between Colombia and Panama.
  • 00:00:52
    So migrants hoping to get to the US
  • 00:00:54
    have to get through the Darien Gap first.
  • 00:00:57
    That means trekking through rivers
  • 00:00:59
    and mud and up steep mountainsides
  • 00:01:01
    along the way.
  • 00:01:02
    They face exhaustion, disease, drowning,
  • 00:01:04
    and the
  • 00:01:05
    very real risk of being robbed assaulted
  • 00:01:07
    or even killed.
  • 00:01:09
    So far this year, five times
  • 00:01:11
    as many people have made
  • 00:01:12
    this journey compared
  • 00:01:12
    to the same period last year.
  • 00:01:14
    And a record number of them are children.
  • 00:01:17
    To see what they face.
  • 00:01:18
    Nick Paton
  • 00:01:19
    Walsh and his team recently
  • 00:01:20
    walked the entire route.
  • 00:01:22
    Some of the things he saw along
  • 00:01:23
    the way are graphic and hard to watch.
  • 00:01:25
    But we want you to see the reality
  • 00:01:27
    of what's happening on the track.
  • 00:01:29
    A migrant trail to America
  • 00:01:47
    Sometimes a
  • 00:01:47
    dream soldier, a nightmare first.
  • 00:01:51
    And beauty is deepest in a place
  • 00:01:54
    you may never get out of.
  • 00:01:56
    And the need to keep moving
  • 00:01:58
    is the only thing left to carry.
  • 00:02:01
    Roughly
  • 00:02:02
    a quarter of a million
  • 00:02:03
    humans last year
  • 00:02:04
    walked for four deadly days
  • 00:02:06
    through this, the Dorian Gap.
  • 00:02:09
    An untold number do not make it
  • 00:02:12
    a much, much bigger number.
  • 00:02:14
    Do
  • 00:02:15
    And with every moment of success,
  • 00:02:17
    resilience and even cost and suffering
  • 00:02:20
    evermore come
  • 00:02:21
    and they come in
  • 00:02:22
    and the world may be on the move.
  • 00:02:24
    Because of climate,
  • 00:02:25
    conflict and corruption.
  • 00:02:28
    But here is
  • 00:02:29
    where the most of them are on foot
  • 00:02:33
    These are the stories of people
  • 00:02:35
    from just five days
  • 00:02:37
    who are usually through only
  • 00:02:40
    an endless train in the jungle
  • 00:02:42
    of pain, hope, loss and grit
  • 00:02:46
    through the world's
  • 00:02:47
    biggest hole in the fence.
  • 00:02:54
    They gather under a glowering dusk,
  • 00:02:57
    as if to say goodbye to their own lives.
  • 00:03:00
    In the hope.
  • 00:03:00
    The dawn ahead is new of a promise
  • 00:03:03
    and opportunity
  • 00:03:04
    they have never known before.
  • 00:03:05
    And your final thought of you
  • 00:03:08
    and your men.
  • 00:03:11
    And I'm not that bad either.
  • 00:03:13
    If I said I'm not doing this,
  • 00:03:16
    I hope that there will
  • 00:03:17
    be a new pestilence
  • 00:03:19
    that can be in my spirit.
  • 00:03:20
    That's not the name of me, ever.
  • 00:03:23
    I mean, just nothing as offensive,
  • 00:03:27
    but it's not a prayer that decides
  • 00:03:29
    who make it. It's money.
  • 00:03:32
    This is a large voluntary
  • 00:03:34
    trafficking operation
  • 00:03:35
    run by a drug cartel
  • 00:03:36
    who control the routes
  • 00:03:37
    and are the law
  • 00:03:38
    in this part of the Colombian
  • 00:03:40
    border near Panama.
  • 00:03:42
    You pay to get here,
  • 00:03:44
    you pay two overnights here,
  • 00:03:45
    you pay to walk on.
  • 00:03:47
    There are just over 800 people
  • 00:03:49
    in this camp
  • 00:03:50
    in a Candy Sacco
  • 00:03:51
    from Haiti, Venezuela, Ecuador,
  • 00:03:54
    even China and India.
  • 00:03:58
    The pandemic turned the tough
  • 00:04:00
    into the unlivable
  • 00:04:01
    for Manuel and his wife,
  • 00:04:02
    Tamara in Venezuela.
  • 00:04:04
    We've changed
  • 00:04:04
    people's names for their safety.
  • 00:04:06
    Now, for most of
  • 00:04:09
    all of it to heal
  • 00:04:11
    like the water going into the houses.
  • 00:04:13
    And then when you come
  • 00:04:14
    here, it like them.
  • 00:04:16
    But I don't know how to motivate
  • 00:04:19
    you I,
  • 00:04:22
    I mean,
  • 00:04:23
    I'm on enemy.
  • 00:04:24
    No, no, no. I'm okay.
  • 00:04:26
    They all know that.
  • 00:04:26
    It's almost all I know.
  • 00:04:27
    You know,
  • 00:04:32
    at dawn,
  • 00:04:33
    the first thing that strikes you
  • 00:04:34
    is how few of them seem to grasp
  • 00:04:36
    what's coming.
  • 00:04:37
    Gently packing crackers
  • 00:04:39
    and tying sneakers
  • 00:04:40
    by waving a Kleenex at a storm.
  • 00:04:43
    The second thing that strikes you
  • 00:04:45
    is how organized the cartel
  • 00:04:47
    wanted to seem
  • 00:04:48
    more prepared around the table.
  • 00:04:52
    People are fed up now
  • 00:04:54
    after a wave of air
  • 00:04:57
    crash I got my brother.
  • 00:05:02
    They only walk when they're told
  • 00:05:03
    to to hear the stories here and many.
  • 00:05:06
    But there is only one goal.
  • 00:05:08
    America.
  • 00:05:10
    And the dream is just that.
  • 00:05:12
    A reverie of hope,
  • 00:05:14
    of conviction
  • 00:05:15
    that they will be the ones to make it
  • 00:05:17
    over.
  • 00:05:17
    Danger, disease,
  • 00:05:18
    dehydration, deportation.
  • 00:05:21
    About this number.
  • 00:05:22
    Every day, every year, almost doubling
  • 00:05:27
    the Darian Gap is the only land corridor
  • 00:05:29
    from South America
  • 00:05:31
    where entry is easier to it's north
  • 00:05:32
    where it's not.
  • 00:05:34
    There are no roads.
  • 00:05:35
    Only 66 miles of treacherous jungle
  • 00:05:38
    from Colombia to Panama
  • 00:05:39
    and onwards, north 3000 miles to the U.S.
  • 00:05:42
    border.
  • 00:05:44
    We walked the entire route
  • 00:05:46
    of the Darian Gap
  • 00:05:47
    over five days in February
  • 00:05:48
    to document
  • 00:05:49
    the suffering endured by people
  • 00:05:51
    milked for cash
  • 00:05:52
    by cartels, unwanted by any country.
  • 00:05:55
    One startling
  • 00:05:57
    is the sheer number of children
  • 00:05:59
    on this track as it begins on a route.
  • 00:06:02
    Sometimes adults don't even survive
  • 00:06:09
    We heard John
  • 00:06:10
    Pierce, son lover,
  • 00:06:11
    coughing all last night.
  • 00:06:14
    No by now, single
  • 00:06:20
    but still they set out.
  • 00:06:22
    Whatever is ahead.
  • 00:06:23
    Haiti, its heat, hunger
  • 00:06:25
    and the hellish chaos
  • 00:06:26
    is at least at their backs.
  • 00:06:30
    There are the older two.
  • 00:06:32
    58 year
  • 00:06:32
    old Maria, a teacher from Venezuela
  • 00:06:35
    whose monthly
  • 00:06:35
    salary of $16 can't feed anyone.
  • 00:06:39
    So she and her daughter Landry
  • 00:06:41
    are headed to Houston,
  • 00:06:42
    hopefully to relatives
  • 00:06:45
    We've only been going a matter of hours
  • 00:06:47
    and it just seems
  • 00:06:49
    an endless series of river crossings.
  • 00:06:52
    And
  • 00:06:53
    the conditions are just close and water.
  • 00:06:56
    I'm pretty exhausted
  • 00:07:01
    and so get up with Manuel and Tamara,
  • 00:07:04
    like many here,
  • 00:07:04
    try to keep the kids going with treats.
  • 00:07:07
    And then there are those whose jungle
  • 00:07:09
    it is the wildlife.
  • 00:07:11
    One bite from this snake
  • 00:07:13
    and you may never leave.
  • 00:07:16
    The walk is organized
  • 00:07:17
    as that makes more money.
  • 00:07:19
    In fact,
  • 00:07:19
    the cartel gave us permission to be here,
  • 00:07:22
    as if to parade that.
  • 00:07:24
    These discarded color-coded armbands show
  • 00:07:26
    which day and route people have paid for
  • 00:07:30
    the football shirts.
  • 00:07:31
    Reporters
  • 00:07:33
    each numbered
  • 00:07:34
    charging to carry bags,
  • 00:07:36
    even children uphill.
  • 00:07:37
    Every time you line up
  • 00:07:39
    can say those can't get you.
  • 00:07:42
    But it doesn't always work out.
  • 00:07:48
    Wilson is separated from his parents
  • 00:07:52
    Their porter raced off ahead
  • 00:07:55
    on their
  • 00:07:57
    long visit as he put so much
  • 00:08:00
    we lose it on their vehicle
  • 00:08:03
    to get home to his own
  • 00:08:06
    son.
  • 00:08:08
    Yeah. Yeah.
  • 00:08:09
    We usually Olympic hero
  • 00:08:14
    now.
  • 00:08:16
    I
  • 00:08:18
    am. I am.
  • 00:08:19
    I have me.
  • 00:08:20
    I guess if he's in Miami, I'll try
  • 00:08:25
    we'll see that.
  • 00:08:26
    That can be seen.
  • 00:08:27
    For who?
  • 00:08:29
    Oh, cascade through the air.
  • 00:08:33
    We saw her take home.
  • 00:08:36
    Wow. Wow. I got caught.
  • 00:08:38
    Killed quite like many one
  • 00:08:41
    when a girl with
  • 00:08:45
    a
  • 00:08:46
    and nothing else
  • 00:08:51
    nearly
  • 00:08:51
    a thousand unaccompanied
  • 00:08:52
    children were found
  • 00:08:54
    on the route last year.
  • 00:08:55
    The UN have said again
  • 00:08:56
    and I will soon start on our way out
  • 00:08:58
    Rebecca ended by
  • 00:09:01
    thick and more just not yet.
  • 00:09:02
    And those are my hubby.
  • 00:09:05
    And I can tell you, I ever
  • 00:09:15
    Lewin's cough is worse.
  • 00:09:17
    He is now struggling to breathe at all
  • 00:09:21
    his fever peeking
  • 00:09:22
    under the canopy
  • 00:09:26
    the first wave of exhaustion stumbles
  • 00:09:28
    through the trees into this cold layer.
  • 00:09:32
    The first camp for the first night
  • 00:09:34
    under the canopy
  • 00:09:38
    00.
  • 00:09:45
    Worried about
  • 00:09:47
    I but
  • 00:09:48
    they are still chain
  • 00:09:49
    sawing their way into the forest here.
  • 00:09:52
    Cheap tents on freshly fallen trees,
  • 00:09:55
    chilled gator rates for $4.
  • 00:09:58
    Nothing stops the money here
  • 00:10:00
    tearing through nature and its way.
  • 00:10:03
    The people are coming faster
  • 00:10:04
    than they can make space for them
  • 00:10:07
    to pay for
  • 00:10:11
    everyone
  • 00:10:21
    don't report.
  • 00:10:22
    The real problem is not that
  • 00:10:25
    they will become the
  • 00:10:28
    most likely
  • 00:10:30
    people.
  • 00:10:31
    I have heard all
  • 00:10:34
    but I'll go to
  • 00:10:37
    the second dawn
  • 00:10:38
    and the scale of the task
  • 00:10:40
    ahead, the size of the crowd.
  • 00:10:41
    They are in these cramped spaces
  • 00:10:43
    becomes clear
  • 00:10:45
    lines on the slopes will continue,
  • 00:10:48
    but I'll be going persona
  • 00:10:49
    as well to name your work.
  • 00:10:51
    Yet I was in a way I forget I'm
  • 00:10:52
    here and there's
  • 00:10:55
    no way that you feel Nola is with you.
  • 00:10:57
    I don't want you to
  • 00:11:01
    oh, because it's all over the map
  • 00:11:04
    on the
  • 00:11:09
    it's organized, isn't it?
  • 00:11:10
    But this is probably where
  • 00:11:11
    a lot of that stops.
  • 00:11:13
    You start heading in to Panama.
  • 00:11:15
    We are now
  • 00:11:17
    not going to have
  • 00:11:19
    one more,
  • 00:11:22
    but
  • 00:11:24
    you can't keep
  • 00:11:34
    that fellow
  • 00:11:38
    five.
  • 00:11:40
    Guys, let's go
  • 00:11:43
    I it.
  • 00:11:44
    So let me put it
  • 00:11:51
    but I make good
  • 00:11:54
    of course we have film
  • 00:12:01
    the mist clings to the trees
  • 00:12:03
    Making the climb feels steeper still
  • 00:12:08
    looking
  • 00:12:09
    for my final partner again we check
  • 00:12:14
    some children embrace it all
  • 00:12:15
    bounding upwards playfully
  • 00:12:21
    for a moment even in their socks
  • 00:12:26
    when the mud starts climbing shoes
  • 00:12:29
    that follow
  • 00:12:31
    up on a lot of pornography
  • 00:12:34
    through Nancy
  • 00:12:38
    a manual.
  • 00:12:39
    Oh,
  • 00:12:56
    my
  • 00:12:59
    lover is looking worse still.
  • 00:13:02
    His father too exhausted.
  • 00:13:03
    It seems to intervene
  • 00:13:05
    and already at this point,
  • 00:13:06
    really out of choices.
  • 00:13:08
    But to go forwards
  • 00:13:10
    and go
  • 00:13:17
    to the air
  • 00:13:25
    others have come here with little
  • 00:13:26
    but their will to move
  • 00:13:28
    propelled forward
  • 00:13:29
    by knowing what is behind them,
  • 00:13:32
    you have to calibrate it
  • 00:13:40
    to big
  • 00:13:43
    the fear
  • 00:13:56
    I think
  • 00:14:00
    we are you know, you picked up Oklahoma.
  • 00:14:03
    It's a very fast break
  • 00:14:07
    going to lay down the of the guy
  • 00:14:10
    who gets a little weak
  • 00:14:14
    or hard on him which I.
  • 00:14:16
    Matthew.
  • 00:14:16
    Oh, yeah.
  • 00:14:18
    Yeah. Oh, that's very dangerous. Yep.
  • 00:14:20
    I know he yes.
  • 00:14:22
    Look at what happened
  • 00:14:23
    that it's hard to live when, um.
  • 00:14:28
    I love violence.
  • 00:14:30
    I said I'm with two people.
  • 00:14:32
    I'm going to kill
  • 00:14:39
    your
  • 00:14:50
    one of us.
  • 00:14:52
    This is the dry season,
  • 00:14:54
    but still, at times, it feels impossible
  • 00:14:59
    I would
  • 00:15:03
    go, oh, I'm not here.
  • 00:15:09
    And then the sky clears.
  • 00:15:11
    This is the border at the summit,
  • 00:15:13
    but from here on, they're on their own.
