but. he also just found out that there are soldiers patrolling the area. using gestures he explains that the police could shoot at us. once we arrive at the meeting point call us worries that it was a mistake to bring us that i would be i think i think. but when i have been i'm going to hear what others think of it. but i doubt that what has been the are down . i'm not going to hide in the bushes but we don't have to wait long 20 minutes later a few silhouettes appear at the edge of the cliff.

you know. when i was you know. how i was. after 2 hours of ongoing we managed to calm the traffic is down they finally understand that we're not here to turn them into the authorities. i mean. by why we're not what. the death threats are forgotten the traffickers continue their march each carrying almost to. he leaves his on his back in just a few moments a ton and a half a few illegally crosses over from venezuela to colombia. and then debate down her mom. that right after mr bennett. although there is

still another feels to cross the group is now out of the soldiers range the venezuelan traffic has begun to transfer the fuel to that colombian counterparts and. i feel like you know. some individuals weren't even able to afford plastic containers things they carried the from their hands. but there's not much. that i bought on that but i've got a bend over the bottom up or somehow you. like it in and i know thank you. but it's a little do you. think one of you know if they say nothing on composite yes yes i think you. thought oh yeah they're honest. with you know folks don't believe some of the. just. like harry has an $11.00 per trip

a fortune in today's might as well go for you know what are for after me i'm buying my house when i guess i know i'm going to be our no no no my the one i am flacco it's own medical with i'm not waiting for your data going out how do you know you know call me later medical mom family i look these up at us and drop us a law oh so i got a young man maybe not i do not buy into or yeah. before the crisis broke out in venezuela all of these young people had a bright future those that i will but you didn't but i laos. better than i used to you i down less still you have my love. now the only thing worth learning is resourcefulness and it's not without risk right here to get that 2nd letter to the coming that annoys you ended up from way going to and from what defendant would that have a pop pop pop. don't get you may not be

a they don't know. why they called it the oh. no those. alone. i know you know me oh. but he's a little gentle behavior while these traffickers carry the fuel on their backs some have found more elaborate ways at the foot of the mountain between colombia and venezuela is a small village it lies in what has been described as one of the most high risk buddhas unlocked in america. quest to sita and village where few containers live side by side with the estimated 4000 inhabitants that everyway cans of petrol sold illegally on most road sites. cosi luis has a faster way to transport his contraband the same items that then the. road

at the foot of the bottle. and bottle can also. and what i love for example give a lot of us along in a club at what the what the. general of what is all the center but i'm not at the top of the finance it. but i thought on long island which. they were not going to allow me maybe one on a i'll say that affordable yeah i'm at the office without it caught up with a lot of. ok i want out of them in the oval office like this i'll make a lot how will. they say yeah the ending of the day. he's leaving to collect food 1000 liters of fuel in venezuela. and. say.

it's a deal that is all good all right i think i'll get them in a sort of i'm on top of the table to. help you i'm not obvious of a good thing not so long. we got him thinking about the little boy if you. want to get up on his. at the got hold of the mafia lift it up out of there. and they did a lot of. good guessing they still. at the local i mean i felt a little the. upon the end on the call the other little seal.

plus a new lease arrives at the border to collect the loot of contraband fuel waiting for him unfortunately police everywhere he takes a science route this route is much safer it's his the traffic is have to place than lookouts. so we can look at how you. know you can at least one thing at the end was what i. do. but i'll get a little south of the 2nd above and below that level if you. see all of the you know. just the. long suffering of the fire. problem with something awful and they are someone i really love you know as a little bengal the idea. by doing this hosain always risks a 7 year prison sentence and the complication of his vehicle was almost $5600.00.

but i can proceed on going up and see where they are is it added to the by at mco some program or a blanket that i got over because one of the lookouts is missing from his post carefully moving forward plus a new we spots another he warns them the police are patrolling the area and then. you tell me where i live. i get it back and. jose luis turns back he's not willing to take the risk. of going up and said i'm over there at the window. and then i start to yes. man and woman are part of the family of small time traffickers family they don't understand

why the police are jeopardizing their business to them this is the only way to and i living out the name will. be a little gentle although there are a lot of billions there are a process into later online and not beyond back there a lot of it the effort toward ban only list the lowest or so so much i'm gonna go there marcial that on day. 5 of. the money for some sort of the i got on the knuckle managed. from or some. what i. saw was that our. money. is on our get. out run have been here all morning the group of police officers and soldiers began their operation at dawn this river was turned into a makeshift border crossing it separates venezuela from colombia.

this summer such as the singer palomino. somebody i'm going to summon. just a few hours ago a small stretch of rocks links the 2 shows together dozens of traffic is used this passage every day. but. the numbers for just. common must know something in telling when to sing my song the language my. solemn and then i never thought of as i said i'm going to look down on us and. hope. you. get it. you know that they don't get there and then. they hear that you can never know when really you know.
