I think this series should be nominated and win some kind of award for documentary/journalism reporting. This is really world class.

I'm an Irish man who met you outside a shopping center in Belen, Medellin a few weeks ago while waiting for an Uber with my wife and child. Your Greek buddy was with you I believe. I shook your hand and spoke briefly to you before wishing you well on your trip after you kindly offered a photo with me. If I would have comprehended the gravity of the trip you two were about to undertake I would have insisted on saying a prayer for you. You are half mad, but I can't get enough of it.

Not even the biggest news company ever dare to do this. Huge respect

The camp was probably the most emotional part. It’s like the inbetween part, like a place in transition where you get to see how everyone made it and reflect on the journey. Almost brougt me to tears. RIP to those that didn’t make it.

This should be considered for a journalism award. Amazing courage to make that journey. Thank you for sharing your experience.

I thought it couldn't get crazier with videos such as the soviet space shuttle, but here he is- the madlad has once again exceeded our expectations!

This truly deserves an award for the most raw journalism content.. I cannot fathom the journey and emotions you've endured.

Videos like this make me feel so blessed for the life I have over here in the uk. So eyeopening. Crazy how some people have to live their lives 😢

Nobody on KZfaq is doing this shit. Props Bald, this was amazing start to finish.

Whilst other travel vloggers are reviewing first-class lounges, bald is getting detained by Panamanian immigration authorities and reviewing his prison camp. What a wild situation, but so interesting. A shocking real window into the lives of these immigrants and the lengths they go thru for a better life. Your videos are truly incredible.

You did something really special here Bald. Most people will go their whole lives not giving these migrants a second thought. What a display of humanity.

The mix of emotions I felt watching this: extreme compassion, increased gratitude, frustration that people have to go through this at all, relief that you and those you traveled with survived. You were divinely protected so the world can see what people have to go through to have a better life. As a mother of a toddler, seeing those babies being carried through it all made me feel so foolish for complaining about carrying my child up 1 flight of stairs. I pray that God protects those who will begin the journey and those who are traversing the Darien now, and comforts those who lost loved ones along the way. Thank you so much for sharing your experience!

"If I didn't have this bracelet i'd be dead" meanwhile waving it around in the windy ocean.

i like how he is talking about his braclet being so important while holding it with 2 fingers in a moving speedboat.

This was the most intense episode Benjamin has ever been produced. I've watched every minute of it and every minute was eye-opening. Thanks for this masterpiece!

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 amazing. This is so much more authentic than anything the BBC or Vice could produce and shows firsthand the plite of all involved. Definitely deserves an award.

Holy crap. For those of us knowing Bald from his lighthearted strolls through the Russian wilderness, getting invited by families and drinking and riding with strangers in search of mosaiques, this is a totally new experience. Fantastic work as usual, dude. Please stay safe.

And this ladies and gentlemen, is why Bald is a legend, and will forever hold the title of the greatest KZfaqr to have ever lived.

Very rarely am I at a loss for words but this was... beyond incredible. I shed a tear for humanity when you finally left the internment camp. Bald, you sir are a singular human being. I salute you.

You only ever hear stories of the Darien gap, but this was such an insight into the reality of the struggles of people looking for a better life. Unreal bit of filming that deservers a bigger platform. It doesn't get more raw and real than this.

You should get a film makers award for this , the best content provided on KZfaq , thank you so much for taking us with you on this journey

Absolutely amazing video detailing the struggle of the migrants from South America to North America. When you got kicked out of Russia I was afraid that the content on the channel might suffer, but the videos you have since released have been top quality, and this is the best yet. Keep up the incredible content, Ben!

This is beyond a travel vlog at this point. Breath-taking! I will never feel sorry for myself again after seeing this

That man from Angola, I dont want to know what goes to his head. Must be so heartbreaking. Prayers for him and all other people who resorts to this in pursuit of a better future

Thank you for showing the side of the world that most people don't see. It's important to know what's going on - and this video was truly something unique. Been watching your videos for years but this might be the most informative so far

No one else on KZfaq is doing this kind of groundbreaking journalism.

The man from Angola, may God bless him and give him strength 😢

My heart is so broken for all these people, but because I work with so many Venezuelans, I am especially touched by them. Americans don't understand that a lot of these people are HIGHLY educated, moreso than the average American, and have suffered a terrible ordeal back home. I've met so many lawyers from Venezuela that are now here washing dishes and serving food. They are the absolute best people.

This is easily the most engrossing Baldi video I've seen yet. This is next level stuff. We all know he has some balls but man, this is something else. What struck me as I watched through this video is that they must both have made connections with the people they were sharing the experience with - you can't go through all that together and not make a bond. It's something none of us can imagine without having done it. And sure enough Ben mentions this himself, towards the end. It seems unlikely he will know the fate of his fellow travellers but it's a small world and I would love to know in future if they met again. I truly hope that those people found better lives for themselves and their families. Baldi, thank you for sharing this incredible journey !

I'm brazilian and even tho i live in a tough situation, i would never do this crossing, any mistake and you could end up dead. I wish all the best to the little girl who hugged Ben and said goodbye, she was the sweetest person possible even in a situation like this, and that's admirable. Unfortunately for many of them, they end up not being able to live in the US. All that said, this video is just better than any documentary out there, this is the pure reality of migrants, no CNN, BBC or Vice will ever make something that will achieve the quality this video has achieved.

What an immense bit of documentarian work this is. Bravo Ben and Tim for undertaking such a difficult task, shedding light on the hard fight people endure in search of a better life.

I feel sorry for those seeking a better life. As heartbreaking as it is, America can’t be expected to take in the entire world--these are the facts of the matter. It’s a humanitarian crisis of epic proportions and also an environmental disaster. Seeing the natural beauty of the jungle destroyed is also heartbreaking.

I've been a fan of your channel for about 5 years and I'm usually a silent lurker, but man... This was an absolute masterpiece. Thank you for risking everything to live an experience most of us never get to see or fathom, and for educating us all by providing visibility on these people's reality in the rawest way. What a rollercoaster of emotions that was. You're a real legend, and I'm certainly glad you and Timmy made it out safe. Much love ❤

This is absolutely peak KZfaq and peak Bald. The stories, the interest and danger is next to none. Thank you Ben for showing this to the world, for sharing your experiences and giving the people a voice!

Amazing to see people still smiling and dancing and keeping their spirits up !

Just normal human beings looking to find a better life with what they can. These people are not the "criminals, rapists, drug mules, mental patients, etc" that our politicians like to label them as. Just people. And what they're going through now can easily happen to any one of us tomorrow.

I’ve never seen Bald get emotional in a video. This without a doubt is one of his most powerful and emotional videos. It really deserves an award.

"You don't even have time to sit down and watch a documentary." That guy thought of the best possible way to get his point across. That hits home.

I WENT THROUGH ALL THOSE PLACES 4 MONTHS AGO, CROSSING THE JUNGLE WITH MY WIFE AND MY BROTHER. I ALSO CROSSED ALL THE TRAIN TRACKS WHERE YOU HAD AND IT WAS SERIOUSLY VERY DIFFICULT, IT TOOK 2 MONTHS TO BE ABLE TO GET THERE AND THANK GOD I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE USA, BUT EVERYTHING I RECORDED WAS EVERYTHING I DID TO BE ABLE TO GET THERE ❤

this has to be the best video you've made by far... showing things that few have been able to see outside of the migrants who travel throught that dangerous land. Thank you!

I never comment on anything on the internet - as I believe most people. But I just have to say that this is a masterpiece of a documentary. Bald you truly are the greatest journalist of our time. Thank you for shedding light on the experiences of los caminantes

You deserve a best documentary award for this. Although daring and sometimes difficult to watch your unbiased empathy and stress on the good in human behavior gives me hope. Thank you Bald.

This is beyond hardcore traveling. Thanks for embarking on such a wild journey and sharing your experiences with everyone.

An incredible journey Bald, and I'm sure this video only captures a small portion of what you experienced but wow, we really are in a very fortunate position and sometimes take that for granted. You have my respect mate and to see you getting emotional i can imagine how much this had an impact on you. Thanks for sharing mate

This is better than any tv show. Legend

This is better than any heavily funded documentary right now. Absolutely impeccable Bald I’ve never been so moved by a YT video.

You are literally risking your life to shed light on the reality of the situation these amazing people must endure. You are a true saint, with a pure, heart of gold, and I pray for your safety in your endeavors 🙏💛🕊️

Im speechless , thank you for putting this out!

for some reason the story of the guy from angola stuck in the prison camp hit me the most. he lost everyone he loved and stuck in a foreign hell hole with nothing. what a tragedy.

This is what KZfaq is all about, content like this that you just would never get on TV. Good luck on the rest of the journey Ben, Timmy and especially to those doing it who have no other choice.

So much respect and appreciation, thank you for highlighting the journey thousands partake in in search for a better life. Prayers for safety and health to all 🙏

Oh my god stop waiving that bracelet around you’re going to give me an actual heart attack

This should win an award. Some of the best coverage I’ve seen of an impossible place. I liked how you went from thinking your fellow travellers were going to get you to making friends. Just don’t do it again! 😅

When I saw you get emotional talking about those you've met along the way and seeing that they survived....that was about as real and raw as it gets. This has been one of the most sobering and eye-opening videos I have ever seen. I take my freedom and luxury for granted every single day, and that's wrong! I'm glad you and Tim made it without harm or injury. Thank you for allowing us to see the struggles many other people must go through for basic freedom and necessity for life! Thank you!!!!!!!

Someone in the comments said you are half mad, they're being far too kind. You made that entire journey long before this one! Astounding footage dude. Holy HELL!

If there was youtube awards. you both deserve best award of the year ...bar none. been following you both for years. keep up the great work. and stay safe

Never seen Benjamin showing such emotions as he showed at the end in the camp. Love this man. Love his videos. And this is one of the rarest 💜💜💜

This should be nominated for a journalism award. This is the story we need to be seeing and this is what true journalism should be, showing the story with no spin. Modern news and journalism is a sham; written from the comfort of their own homes and green rooms regurgitating their aligned party’s agenda. Bald and bankrupt you are a brave man, thank you for sharing this journey with the world.

Amazing journalism! I’m a new subscriber about to binge watch all your videos. You’re on another level and it’s beyond words.

Your videos just keep getting better. Literally nowhere I would see content like this. Thanks Benjamin, kudos on your courage! My favourite travel vlogger!

This deserves a documentary award nomination. Thanks for your work Ben, you’ve topped the BAM and Buran adventures. could have used a little secret body cam in this one!

Tim is your greatest companion by a country mile. What a trooper.

Mad lads... Only a Brit (fine and a Greek) would would think it's a great idea to voluntarily cross the Darien gap. Glad nothing happened to you guys and you were able to make it out in one piece. Thanks for the incredibly candid and raw footage.

This is the greatest video B and B has ever done. Imspirational.

Seeing Mr Bald crying was touching. Considering he’s travelled everywhere, this experience must have been the strongest of all.

This is genuinely THE most insane thing I've seen on KZfaq ever. The fact that you put yourself through this, unnecessarily is absolutely bonkers. But to actually see something like this is so eye opening. Kudos to you Bald, serious kudos

This is epic. Thank you. I can tell from your interview you did with Timmy this changed you.

Very impactful video. What a subject! What a journey! Thank U.

It makes me lost for words how you with a camera and your personality, are able to create honest, brutal and realistic content, which media corporations can not even come close to with resources at their disposal. You show the world the real people wherever you go. It is not dramaticized or dressed up. You have a gift. And I thank you for risking yourself to share to the world your journeys in the most human way possible. Thank you Bald.

You deserve some kind of journalistic award for this episode and the people you met and travelled with deserve a better life.

This guy is next level. A modern day world explorer. A pure traveller.

Good work Bald ! Thank you for sharing this

This is probably one of the best videos I've ever watched. Really good coverage showing the desperation people have for taking this perilous route. No filters, no fluffing it up, just raw footage. Amazing Bald, thank you.

This journey is insane. Bald this should get you billions of views. You're crazy.

This is daring, you and Timmy did amazingly well. You guys deserve recognition for this. This special adventure is everything

Wow…. Just wow. Thank you for undertaking this incredibly difficult journey, and taking us along from the safety of our homes.

This was gut wrenching. Among many tragedies, the story of the Angolan man and the family begging for food was a big blow for me. I really hope they got some help, no one deserves to starve in a jungle. On the other hand this video should be mandatory for those of us who complain about our lives, who worry about superficial things and who doesn't appreciate how fortunate we are. Thank you Bald and Tim for that. Bold and Tim at their peak. Looking forward for the next episode.

Holy crap, Bald. You're an absolute madlad for this one. So much respect. Thank you for opening people's eyes to the kind of suffering happening all around the world on a daily basis. I'd be honored to travel with you someday. Hope you're safe & sound.

Watching this video made me realize that I have one in a million luck to be able to live and work in the United States, the destination where these fellow human beings even risk their lives to travel on foot. Thank you Mr. Bald for creating this content to open my eyes

Amazing journey and incredible to see people who have nothing left to lose and on a quest to find a better life, keep their humour and still make friends. Of all your adventures B&B, this is most definitely my favourite.

Bloody hell, that was emotional. What strikes me the most is all those happy smiling children, despite the conditions they're in. They are truly amazing.

One thing I particularly love is you don’t overdramatize it, you downplay the seriousness so well, I hate sensationalized content and tons of bells and whistles, you have such a great way of just letting the content (the great people, their mother tongue in subtitles, the amazing vistas) speak for themselves

Absolutely brilliant...Thank you for showing us what is going on...Im humbled everyday by what we see and learn the struggles of those who seek a better life...This has to be one of the hardest ways to reach solitude and the sacrifice and danger to overcome is persistent like the value of a better life...Well done and glad all is well through this journey..

Amazing content. Discovered this channel yesterday and now I'm hooked 👏

MAN that was something. We here can see only the tiny part of your journey and can only imagine what it was look like from the first person perspective. HUGE respect for your courage, I'm so glad I found your channel once in the past

This documentary was a masterpiece. I feel grateful for whatever situation I find myself in.

I couldnt stand this man a week ago……..now almost speechless, this documentary is top tier ……thank you sir

Thank you for what you do. I only started to watch your videos a few days ago but wow! ... amazing documentaries. This one... heart wrenching... the people... the families... that must do this to try and have a future.. a life. Heartbreaking... especially the young children.

This dude is doing the job of the actual media. Much love to you from the US.

bald is now venturing into extreme travel, this will be epic.

You are truel an amazing person full of compassion may god continue to bless you and your family in all you do. I am sitting an my kitchen counter having breakfast and I was over Comme with grief just watching these families and what they have to go trough for a better life😢

Absolutely incredible. Thank you

Was in Panama earlier this year. Every local told me to not get even close to Darien. Apparently it got even more dangerous post covid. You're one hell of a guy Bald! Respect and well done!

The moment when he cried and got emotional shows how real he is and how authentic this documentary is. I also loved the connections he made in the camp and on the trip. Regardless of your political views on migrants and refugees, hes shown in an authentic (and not preachy) way that we are all human beings. Thank you Mr Bald and Timmy!

Incredible experience and perspective! Well done!

Much love and strength to all that need it. Great work Mr Bald.

I don't know what kind of award this deserves, but whatever category this falls into this at least deserves a nomination. This is absolutely MENTAL. Thank you for filming this and bringing light to the situation Bald.

Legendary Bald adventure ! But do be careful if that's even possible.Thanks for all the awesome content and showing incredible insights over the years.

Brilliant documentary! Thank you guys for this incredible journey. As always, so many profound moments to realize what you have and how grateful you should be for it. With love from Russia!

I love that your Greece buddy came along with you. What a pair of legends.
