The Panama Canal is now controlled by Panama, but before that, France and then the United Stated coveted and gained control of the zone, to develop the canal. Many lives were lost during the development of the canal, and many were displaced for the creation of the canal. The role of Panama in its own development is often forgotten or minimized.
In part four, Carmen discusses how the displacement of Panamians in the canal zone went down, how the history of that displacement was rewritten and about the tragic day known as Martyr's Day.
