A group of Cuban migrants relies on their mobile phones to capture and share intimate moments of their journey through the jungle on social media, accumulating over 100 hours of experiences. Stranded in an improvised camp established by Caritas in Ciudad Panama, their challenging trek through the Darien Jungle unfolds vividly on their devices. In this state of migratory limbo, Cuban director Marcel Beltrán documents the passage of time in the camp and gains access to this compelling archive.
