The Darien is a swamp, an impenetrable jungle of 12,000 km2. And yet men and goods have been crossing this area for millennia. Today, often illegally by rivers or trails. The directors followed Gina, a colorful shopkeeper, who supplies her business, 3 days from Panama City in the jungle with the means at hand. She takes up tons of goods first by truck and then by canoe. It is called the “Queen of the Tuira River”. Indians, peasants, gold diggers, adventurers; a whole world crosses paths in the Darien. In the Choco region of Colombia, having a truck, or even a mule, is useless. The only means of transport… are men.
