During the colonial period, tens of thousands of Africans were brought to Panama to be labor for the Spanish empire. Resistance to slavery occurred daily. Perhaps its most transcendental expression was the Cimarronaje, in which the fugitive Africans united to create societies independent of the European dominion. Its history is fundamental for the history of Panama.

Nací en Tokyo y crecí en Nueva York. Descubrí la magia de Panamá cuando viví en Portobelo hace casi 40 años. Había historia y tradición por dondequiera que miraba. La amabilidad de la gente me hizo sentir muy bienvenido. Este documental está dedicado al pueblo de Portobelo y los Congos a lo largo del istmo. La importancia de su historia y cultura es mucho más profunda de lo que hemos imaginado.
