Welcome to 1995, to a corner of the world known as the Panama Canal Zone.
Come share fifty stories of real-time confusion as you witness an ordinary wife, mother, and teacher caught in extraordinary circumstances.
Raised by an Alabama mother who taught her to judge people by their character rather than their position, she expected the best in everyone. As a result, acquaintances grew into friends and family at a pace that was difficult even for her to keep up with.
What seemed perfectly natural to her, however, looked very different to the people around her.
Trust is called into question as her husband denies her reality. A drug lord’s gratitude casts a shadow over her family. When the region’s commanding general becomes involved, she wonders whether discernment and authority always go hand in hand.
Now, thirty years later, you have the opportunity to travel back to a time before answers were instantaneous. Communication barriers were not just languages, but cultures. Tour a place where innocence collides with the U.S. military inside a thriving drug culture.
Welcome to Panama, where one teacher discovers that clowns don’t need clearance.
