Living in Panama | How People Live in Central
America's Most Mysterious Hidden Country | 4K
Most people know one thing about Panama.
The canal.
And the canal is extraordinary — 80 kilometers
of engineered water connecting two oceans,
carrying 5% of all world trade through a
narrow strip of land that most people could
not find on a map without help. But Panama
is not a canal with a country attached to it.
Panama is a country that contains multitudes.

It is the only place on Earth where you can
stand in one spot and watch the sun rise over
the Pacific and set over the Atlantic on the
same day. It is a nation of 4 million people
that hosts more bird species than the entire
continent of North America. It is home to
the Kuna Yala — the San Blas Islands — 365
coral islands in the Caribbean where the
indigenous Guna people have governed
themselves autonomously for centuries and
where the only way to arrive is by small
propeller plane or a dugout canoe. It is
the cloud forests of Boquete, where coffee
grows in the mist at 1,600 meters and the
resplendent quetzal — one of the most
beautiful birds on Earth — still nests in
the ancient trees. It is the Darién Gap —
60 miles of roadless jungle so impenetrable
that it is the only break in the entire
Pan-American Highway that runs from Alaska
to the southern tip of Argentina. And it
is Panama City — a skyline of glass towers
rising from a tropical bay next to a
500-year-old Spanish colonial quarter where
the parrots outnumber the tourists.
In this 4K documentary, we explore what daily
life is really like Living in Panama: the
indigenous Guna people of the San Blas
Islands who have maintained their language,
their traditions, and their self-governance
against every force of the modern world,
the coffee farmers of Boquete in the
Chiriquí Highlands who produce some of
the most expensive and sought-after coffee
on the planet — the legendary Geisha bean
that sells for thousands of dollars per
kilogram, the Emberá communities of the
Darién who navigate the jungle rivers by
dugout canoe and whose knowledge of the
forest is so deep and so complete that
modern science is still learning from it,
the Afro-Panamanian communities of the
Caribbean coast whose culture of music
food and festival has roots that stretch
back three centuries to the slave ships
of the colonial era, the casco viejo of
Panama City — one of the most beautifully
restored colonial quarters in all of Latin
America — where crumbling Spanish churches
sit next to rooftop bars and art galleries
and the sound of reggaeton drifts over the
Pacific on a Friday night, and the
extraordinary diversity of a tiny nation
sitting at the crossroads of two oceans
two continents and a thousand different
stories that most of the world has never
thought to ask about.
