But finding gold may have been easier than transporting it back east. The only hope for avoiding a grueling six month wagon journey was to travel the narrowest portion of the continent — the 48-kilometer Isthmus of Panama. Alex Gendler details the creation of the Panama Canal. [Directed by Cabong Studios, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Cem Misirlioglu, Amit Peled].\n
