This project explores these universal themes through its engagement with a specific history. Using the medium of film a series of inter-related histories are recounted, the stories originate from Panama during the complex period after the Torrijos-Carter Treaties. The treaties themselves, signed in 1977, were agreements to begin the hand back of the Canal Zone to Panama. They were fuelled by the ambitions of General Omar Torrijos, the country’s then military leader.
