The text appears to be a transcript from a documentary or a report about the humanitarian crisis and the migration of people from Latin America to the United States. The narrative describes the hardships faced by these migrants, including the challenges of the journey, the harsh conditions in the camps, and the indifference of the authorities.
The group of migrants is struggling to navigate the waterways due to the weight of the boat and the low water levels in the dry season. They can only move when some passengers get out, and the human skull found on a log is a stark reminder of the dangers they face.
A pregnant woman named Belle and her son join the group, helping to keep the boat afloat. The Panamanian government, however, shows little interest in mitigating the situation, preferring to let the migrants pass through their country.
Upon reaching Baja Chiquita, the first perception point in Panama, the group moves to their next stop, the camps. The Panamanian authorities are keen to show the group to facilities, but decline to be interviewed for the report. The facilities are described as being in poor condition, with barely standing showers and no drainage, which means all the water from the canals runs out onto the land.
The narrative also mentions the presence of cleaners at the camps who have started working there to earn a seat on the bus. There are also references to the indifference and cruelty of some people towards the migrants, as well as their fear and exhaustion.
The narrative ends with a mention of the U.S., Colombia, and Panama launching a campaign to try and stop people from making the dangerous journey and to find other ways for people to migrate. The next segment of the report will focus on people who are helping the Earth with ways to cut down on carbon, including a new technology that relies on the behavior and habits of whales.
