@@sagardjtsb5822 I myself is a documentary who crossed that jungle in 2017,and now i am living in Lansing Michigan state.
You are very brave may the good Lord make your dream come true
I agree with you a million percent
YEAP !!! THIS SHOW HOW BLESSED THOSE WHO ARE BORN N HERE ARE . YET THEY AIN'T UNDERSTAND IT😭😭😭 THEY'RE DOING THEIR BEST PUT THIS COUNTRY DOWN SAYING 🇺🇸 IS BAD , RACIST, SOME LAZY TAKE EVERYTHING FOR GRANTED WANT GOVERNMENT PAY FOR EVERYTHING THEY SO SO UNGRATEFUL 4 THOSE WHO WORK HARD BEFORE THEIR GENERATION TO LEAVE ....." BLESSED COUNTRY"
The guy travelling alone is the epitome of hope and being grateful to God regardless of the situation. I admire his resilience.
@Mind Blown oh no!? What happened?
@Mind Blown how do you know?
@Mind Blown omg after such a heart wrenching and beautiful tale this gave me the biggest laugh. ❤️
Either hope, or insanity, The Darien gap is synonymous with tragic consequence and demise - a lone traveler has a very poor Chace of surviving such a perilous attempt. It is fraught with marauding gangs of drug smugglers, millitant fugitives and outcasts of society. Any presence is a threat to their cover, and sternly I'll advised. You are looked upon as spy, and frequently dispatched then and there, never to be heard of again, lest your skeletal remains be discovered months, or even years later, strewn across the jungle floor after having been ripped open, dismembered and consumed by Wild ravenous scavenging animals.
He will make it. He has God in his plan.
I started tearing up after Adam interviewed the man from Nepal... I can't even begin to imagine smiling after such a long journey without any definite success. That is courage, and it is beautiful.
24:39 🙏
Notice he said he had no more water. He was smart to not announce what he had. Good way to get robbed. He had a backpack of water.
me too!
He isnt nepali ..
@@jotrai first i doubt he looks more like spanish rather than nepali and he is fluenly speaking spanish in between for nepali speaking english must be common despite the interviewers asked in english he is replying in espanish .. this things are uncommon in nepali .
The Nepali guy who remained hopeful 16:45 is a huge inspiration. Im one of the few Mexicans who Work with Nepali people at a Nepali restaurant, and they are the most Beautiful and Humble people ever, they treat you with so much love and respect that they make you feel like Family.
so nepali are in mexico too?

We are

We all have PROBLEMS. Why cry. God wants him to enter AMERICA LEGALLY

Sem dúvida! Eu torço muito por essa pessoa. Gostaria muito de vê-lo caminhar e como está hoje. Se eu tivesse condições como Soros e afins tem, ajudaria quem REALMENTE quer viver e não gastar dinheiro para socialismo, abordo e drogas. Só queria dar um abraço nessa pessoa.
@@mramerica6229 Hmmmmm.
Me to 😢
I felt Adam choked after speaking to the Nepalese guy who traveled alone and seeing him leaving by himself.. And when Adam asked where he got all the strength, the guy said the most powerful words, “faith in God.” Adam felt for the guy who showed him what courage and faith is about, and made him realize how lucky he was.
Yes.. that's deeply touched his heart ❤️ he just shocked for few sec with no words when that guy still keeping his smile in his face even though after all this struggle.
My brother disappeared in Ecuador 6yrs ago on his way to the US. We've never heard from him again. This documentary was hard to watch
😢im sorry to hear that
So sorry for your loss 🙏🏾💔 I pray God grants you & your family peace & comfort regarding this situation.
That sucks I am sorry
As an American, Ive always been annoyed about our immigration problem. However, hearing these stories has given me a new perspective on everything. The part where the guy says he's "fortunate enough to not understand why these people are doing this" really hit hard.
im cuban and icompleted this journey when i was 12 in 2016 along with my parents and other migrants we met in the way i safely made it to the united states but i would never do it again and dont recommend it to anyone, it is the hardest thing ever. And we saw many people die or get deported in the way. out of a group of 10 cubans who where with us during the journey 2 of them are still very close friends with us and we meet for every Christmas/ birthdays/new year/ and thanksgiving because is like if we were a real family and each other is all we got in this country. The people in this video had it easy we didnt have anyfood aside for brown sugar and uncooked oatmeal we made with the water from the river. and my mom and i got our periods there and we didnt have supplies. it is important to not take everything for granted and be grateful for everything you have even if its just a little
You should make a KZhead video on this, it sounds like such an incredible and crazy experience
@@erens-basement yes so ice can find them and deport them for breaking the law
Am crying after reading ur comment. Believe in Jesus and nothing will be against u😭
I'm felling sad for you and your mom. You all are brave. Actually life can be beautiful with a little thing.
did you go through boat or sum thing wtf?
Anyone who survives this journey should be recruited by the military.
I was in this back 2016 from brazil to US but deported back 2017 march trump .

this reporter is damn good ... hard to do this kind of documentary..
ummmmm, no. CBS just copied this kzhead.info/sun/Z9GReMyjsF-upnk/bejne.html. That's Carlos from that video that they get the directions from at the beginning of this video. Nothing new here.
@@alexwestconsulting it's still nice
💯
@@Lesliefedy I disagree. The guy copied a much much better, ealier version. He took someone else's hard work, copied it. and made it all about him in the end, pandering to the camera, fake tears and all.
Look he work for CBS an American television but he's not white, he looks asian ,ok told me why???
Many times we think we have nothing. But in the matter of fact, most of us know NOTHING about "to have nothing": no home, no house, no money, no food, no country...nothing. These people have nothing indeed !! They are not seeking for a better life...they are seeking for LIFE AT ALL. We all should be grateful for all we have - even if we have a little. Once we have something, it means we have much more than these guys do. I hope they all make their way through the jungle and have their hope renewed in a new country, in a new life! Good lucky, guys! God bless you all!!
Fernando Scotelaro thing with brain and stop thinking with anus.. great people do great things to be great. .. You don't have money more than them .. do you know how much it cost? Or how knowledgeable it is to ignore America's refusal of visa and still succeed through this jungle?
Fernando Scotelaro well said can I use this on my book I did this trip to come here to United states and I'm writing it can I plz use this whole comment? And thank you you make me cry
Correct my man god bless you and all then ones that have to suffer this unfortunate fate.
Do you have to have "things" to have a life. For thousands of years in history, people had nothing and lived off the land or farmed. How did they survived all these years? America is wealthy, so what. We also have an drug problem. Americans are depressed. We have high divorce rate. Just because you have things does not mean you have a life at all.
Fernando Scotelaro : Do you know how much they pay for this trip ? The Indian Punjabis pay 20 - 25 lakh Indian Rupee minimum and I can bet most of them had house as well all the basic facilities back in India but they are all misguided and fascinated ( idk the exact reason why they are leaving but according to a recent interview of a Punjabi guy who is been deported from USA said to India Today magazine that he is being cheated by the trafficker, he doesn't know the route was tough and he sold his house and property to pay the agent and he thought he can earn good money like his fellow neighbour NRI Americans who is living in USA and thereby he can have a luxurious life.
This is heart wrenching. 😭 God bless everyone that takes this journey to the US. 🙏
Eye opener of the sheer struggles of our fellow humans. The power of hope and dreams , faith is incredible.
Some of you are talking bad insulting these people, you don't know what they are going through, THEY ARE HUMAN JUST LIKE YOU, DON'T BE MEAN AND RUDE REMEMBER YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE
Let them live in your place then. Oh wait you won't!... Now STFU.
I just read hundreds of comments and maybe 1% were bad. 99% is people expressing sympathy and admiration for these migrants.
They need to go back home am stop coming to the USA taking our jobs and resources!!!!!🤬
These are the kind of people that come to the USA, and in about 5-10 years will own grocery stores, motels, and gas stations. After all the struggles they've been through in their lives, they are just happy to have a job that pays, some food, and a roof over their heads. They know what it means to live a hand-to-mouth existence, and appreciate the meaning of hard work.
this is factually untrue.
They can do that in Chile Brasil Argentina Colombia. He is walking through many excellent countries.
@@Tanner731 it’s true , in California most of the gas stations and leaker stores and grocery stores owned by Yemenites , Vietnamese and Iranians
@@bejakabyle Its not true because all of those groups you mentioned are LEGAL immigrants, I believe it, but it does not refute me saying that persons statement is false because legal immigrants and illegal immigrants are two totally different groups of people
@@Tanner731 exactly. You immigrate with respect. You enter when you are being accepted with open arms.
Wow, just to think that I have the blessing of pointing at any country I want to go and in a matter of days I could be there, make me feel so privileged.
Wow this was a terrific video! It really helped me see the journey through the eyes of all involved. Thanks for the education.
Adam is almost crying when he seen the Nepali man going by himself this is tough Job
He is not nepali he is from India 🇮🇳

Thank you for posting this. It's heartwrenching but so important to see
Documentaries like these help to open our eyes to to the suffering in this world. We need to appreciate the abundance we have.
Wow that Iranian - he picked up Spanish that quick? Hats off to him. And the respect he has for his love? By not showing her photo to the world 😭
Having a significant other who doesn't speak your native language is definitely a big motivator and help for language learning ;)
@@nodeue - so very true!
I was so impressed by how well he spoke Spanish.
That’s called learning by tongue
Most definitely an iranian spy

Kudos to the reporters for their extreme effort to walk through the jungle and bring us this report.
I am from Brazil and I honestly had no idea people went from Colombia all the way to the US by foot. Mad respect for these people, my heart breaks for them and I admire their courage so much. I hope for a bright prosperous future for them all. Thanks for making this doc for us!

DataStorm and from where do you know that? Do you know him? Its true that even to me he doesnt look like a nepalese, but....Still, it doesnt matter his nationality, he was a desperate man who traveled alone in that difficult jungle for a better life and thats very impressive for me.
@@MosNeagu1975 my friend he is not from Nepal but i appreciate his effort .
Ramesh dahal I m talking about the guy from 17:25 . I think you are talking about the guy from Iran.
Unq yes we r talking about guy from 17:25 not the Iranian guy and other guy from group but ones who is telling he is alone and says he is Nepali also he seems to b following the group in secret otherwise how can one travel alone in that rain forest without food an only water or he must be mad
Because he knows his god won’t reject him.
Its really heart touching some of our brothers in this world taking risk just to have a better life away from their countries..May God Bless you all bros.,,🙏🙏
I’m just seeing this. Great job to the people who traveled a long with the people and documenting their journey. Here I am complaining about my problems.

After watch this short video I silent about 10 minute.Wishing you all happy life.
Felt choked up a few times watching this doc. Very powerful. The desperation, lack of options, faith, hope, resilience, hunger for life is palpable in these people. I’ve been in some jungles and just being a tourist walking through felt like a nightmare. Very touching, especially Shahab’s and the man from Nepal’s stories. I sincerely hope these people made where they wanted to be. We live in a cruel world.
Thank you for making a documentary that makes you suffer so much.I have also passed this journey. Three years ago, the pain is excruciating and I think there is no one else in the world.
I’m glad u made it through ❤️
Hello can u help me I wanna tray this way plz

I’m from Panamá and I didn’t know that the journey took so long. Every time that they pass a river my heart dropped, rivers here can change in a blink of eye and drown you. And the humidity here, you feel like you can’t breath I can’t imagine how bad it was in the middle of the jungle.

Amazing. I escaped Detroit and now live in Bogota Colombia where I am watching this.
I do miss fast reliable cell and internet. Other than that no.
Daniel y Ruby I’m Colombian but living in Los Angeles and the US for many years and planning on going back home. How did you end up going to Colombia? Are you Latin? It’s strange you don’t have reliable Internet or cell phone signal in Bogotá. I talk to my family in other smaller cities and they have pretty good service.
Hi Brian. No, I'm not Latin. How I ended up in Colombia.? Well, the economy in the US a number of years ago was horrible. I was in my mid 40s then and I decided to take a trip. I had a friend I met on line who lived in Bogota and she invited me to visit a few years ago. So I took a plane from Detroit to Bogota and once I arrived here I knew I had to stay. I found another woman here in Bogota that I am in the process of going into business with. The cell/internet service is much slower than in the US, but it is still better than it was on my first trip years ago. Overall no complaints though, Am I going back to Detroit? Not anytime soon,... Oh by the way, I live in barrio Bosa in the south.
Daniel y Ruby Interesting story. I’m 40 and came to the US when I was 22. It’s funny how now some people are going from here to Colombia to visit or retire there. Venezuelans are also migrating massively to Colombia. Until a few years ago, and for many decades, it was extremely difficult to find some foreigner daring to even visit Colombia. We also lived in Bogotá, in the 80’s, in Engativá, right next to the airport, when that area was still the countryside. Then moved and grew up in Armenia, Quindío. Isn’t the Bosa area kind of dangerous, like Detroit is right now?
Yeah, thats the sterotype here is the south is dangerous...However, I got robbed at gunpoint and at knifepoint in Parque Nacional close to Chapenero last April. Crime is all over regardless of the neighborhood. I will say this, I have yet to see anything as violent as Detroit here. Nothing close to the burned out neighborhoods Detroit offers, nor the murders. Maybe Palmira, close to Cali has violence like Detroit. But getting a cedula here is almost impossible unless you have serious money. Even getting married here is not easy. The Notarias have clamped down hard and make up excuses why not to approve papers. The term Byzantine is very fitting here regarding government regulations. Ive overstayed my tourist visa twice in the past 4 years and had to pay a 550,000 pesos fine each time. Seems to me its cheaper and easier to pay the fine than to be legal here....
Am one of those guys went to through there in 2017 . It was so though . Am there in USA now different life. But am glad that I saw the other side of the world. Now I am great-full for what I have. Great memories, thanks CBSN
What a documentary. My heart goes out for those migrants. Also respect for the Journalist. Who go on such missions
If they are tired, imagine the camera man...
The camera man doesent feel anything. All the camera mans are like super humans. They get in the middle off wars bullet dont do anything to them. They go to the dessert they dont need water nor food. Cameras mans are amazing.
Just think about Man vs Nature camera man.

Yes. Never knew that even Indians and Nepalese try illegal immigration. Although the number is very small compared to others, it is still an eye opener

People can brave and make it through the Darien Gap of all places, one that is so dangerous, that it is classified as one of the dangerous in the world with all the wilderness, criminal gangs, terrorist groups, and poisonous snakes, insects, etc. like crazy, yet you can't fight for your own country.

Hello my darling journalist I can see your heart is breaking watching your fellow men trying to find a better life god bless you and what you do thank you for working so hard so we can see the other side of getting a better life
Thank you 🙏🏼 with all my heart, for showing us the daily life, the difficulties that many human beings have to go through, to try to have a better life. And it must be worse if they run into the wrong people. They got to travel with other people and it's really enriching. I might not know what they went through and felt until I experienced it myself. This nepalese man, I wish he was happy no matter where he is now, and everyone else. Whenever I wanted to complain for nothing, I would think back to all those human beings who leave everything to hope to find a brighter sun elsewhere. Hand on heart! Thank you to Adam Yamaguchi.

Groundbreaking journalism. Thank you Adam
Such a daring documentary. Kudos man
I cried cried for them...Hope this man who took that root alone is safe... GOD KEEP HIM SAFE...MU HEART BLEEDS...
Lord if i have ever been ungrateful please forgive me. Seeing this breaks my heart.
Sad people shouldn't have to go thru this.....Thank God for those who helped. God Bless them 😥🙏💖
Watching this gives me perspective. I thank god for life and his many blessings. I hope that these people are all safe.
Thank you CBS for producing this video. More of these stories need to be told so that more Americans can gain perspective.
Absolutely!!! Your eyes see clearly and your heart and mind open when you live outside the US as a US citizen. These people are an asset not a liability
. . And do what with that perspective?

@@mjt_emp3ror I can make the world a wonderful place without having to accept these and other people from coming to America. Why travel through six countries to get here? Stop at the first one. They wanna come here to send more back to their home countries. Immigration in the US has been out-of-control since 1965. It is time for it to end.
@@mjt_emp3roridealistic claptrap
Hace 4 años cruzo el jungle de Panama fui muy dificil para mi mucho hambre me cayiste del agua pero ahora gracias a Dios estoy en Miami Thx Lord no puedo olvidarme Darien
