| Summary |
With low property values and crystal-clear waters, it's no wonder that Panama is the newest Caribbean hot spot for American developers and retirees. PARAISO FOR SALE documents the effects the fast-growing migration of Americans is having on the local community of Bocas del Toro, Panama. Through the personal stories of a relocated American couple, an indigenous leader fighting for his community, and a local boatsman turned political hopeful, this film explores issues of modern day colonialism, global centrification, residential tourism, and reverse migration between Latin America and the U.S |
