Experiencing Interruptions?

Box 25

Box 25 surveys the major events in the troubled relationship between Panama and the United States, however the focus are 114 recently discovered letters written by Panama Canal diggers describing brutal working conditions, rampant discrimination and enduring hopes. Making elegant use of archival documents, photograps and films, as well as contemporary interviews, Box 25 brings these lost voices back to life, reminding us of our diverse history and of the sacrificies made to make a dream a reality.
