(Part 2) The Trek: A Migrant Trail to America | The Whole Story with Anderson Cooper 

God bless that Haitian man who is helping the disabled girl. And Nick thanks for comforting the little Haitian boy by speaking to him in French.

The 12 year old girl, and the father with a sick son made me cry!!! 😢 God bless all these people going through this horrible paths to better a life for their families.

This is when real super heroes are brought to light S/o that man carrying that disabled youngster god bless their path to success

this is absolutely horrifying but its a very good documentary. It's nice to see how everybody helps each other.

Many adults cant even make this, its absolutely disturbing that all these kids are going through this jungle, so much for America.

This is heartbreaking and frightening to watch. May God see them through this beautiful struggling souls. The world sometimes is imbalanced, only God can Comfort. 😢

This shows the tragedy of immigrants with beautiful cinematography and creates anguish and heartache in the viewer. Wonderful to acknowledge the humanity of those seeking refuge.

I went through the rainforest in Tobago with my son for fun and I could not imagine this trip.

I can't even imagine. This is insane.

These people are willing to go through so much looking for a better life for their families. So sad that many in the USA, a land of plenty, will meet them with hostility and distrust.

It’s evil to bring children and the elderly along this treacherous journey.

This is absolutely horrific and heartbreaking.

I couldn’t hold my tears through these two episodes! This struggle, children, parents 😢😢😢😢😢 so heartbroken by how this world can be cruel! I hope this documentary oppens people’s heart and learn to be more empathetic to others! We all struggle with something in life and at somepoint we all need help. Before we make judgement pls remember that love is all we have.

This is so heartbreaking to watch, I feel like crying. I can't put into words what I am feeling watching this 😔

This hit me on a profound level. Biblical Exodus. The Strength of the Human Spirit

Haitians are amazing people. Can’t believe I’m watching this.

I literally CANNOT imagine the conditions these people live in within their own motherlands. I cannot imagine the dictatorships that bleed their own people to death, to create such DESPERATION for these people to go through this, with their children. Just to have the hope of a better life. What i DO KNOW is if my country, the U.S., ever became a dictatorship and bleed me and my loved ones, im doing whatever the hell is needed to get my children to safety. I give a damn about some paperwork. Im crossing, come hell or high water. This is absolute desperation of these people to go through this. This is the last fighting chance these people feel they have. To risk dying on the trail to escape the horrors of home speaks volumes of horror they must live in the countries they flee

Amazing story! THANK YOU CNN FOR RAISING AWARENESS!🎉

Thank you Anderson for this report. For making it real to the rest of us. The ones who questioned.

un documental muy fuerte, una situación desgarradora, por la que muchos migrantes pasan en su camino por salir de una vida que consideran muy difícil y que sin duda ha de serlo, para emprender tremendo viaje tan adverso por migrar al sueño de una vida mejor, que de igual forma pasaran en ese nuevo lugar, muchas situaciones difíciles, sin embargo solo quien sabe lo que está viviendo en su lugar, puede decir si este camino tan difícil es preferible a lo que estén viviendo en sus lugares de origen. Les pido consideremos todos en nuestras oraciones, por tantas familias en esta situación, así como el compromiso de hacer de nuestras vidas con sentido de gratitud y de hermandad, en sea lo que sea hagamos, lo hagamos bien para poder ser de mejor beneficio a la humanidad. Dios les bendiga.

I wish them all the best in their journey, their dreams are valid.

It's soooooo sad that they are lied to

This is so sad and broken my heart I am sorry to see this and wish everyone well and hope they find the happiness they seek in life I wish we all could be just one world without borders when I had went in the United state marine many yrs ago I joined with the hope of protecting the weak and the vulnerable and innocent and I wish I could have helped them even if it cost me my own life

It was very heart warming to see the sick boy recover. My son’s sometimes spike fevers and in the beginning of the year of 2022 I believe, there was some sort of triple pandemic spreading through the school aged children and younger. I didn’t think my son was going to wake up alive bc he was so weak and congested. Under a certain age, decongestants are questionable to give to toddlers. So I was so scared he was going to choke on his own congestion. I think I gave him very small amounts and he pulled through. It’s so scary to see them that ill, that young.

I cried on seeing the trouble tge disabled girl's mom had to endure😢

Excellent reporting, this shows how the human spirit has the courage to face the worst of adversity and suffer while doing it. CNN at its best.

The children. 😢💔🙏🏾

The parents anger me . They can easily stay in Panama or Mexico and make a decent life . Greed pushes them to risk the lives of their children

GOD have mercy on us... thank you for everything.

I can't hold my tears seeing people passing through this situation.

Thank you for this video, please can get a longer one's thanks God bless you

So sad for the people treaking through the jungle with kids. Lord save them

A lot of them are gonna get sent right back home.

Children elderly and sick should not be put thru this it is unacceptable

Lord how mercy, help these people

And yet many go to the US to commit crimes after all this suffering. Amazing

This is heartbreaking, but I do not condone breaking the law and coming to the country illegally.

So much pain

when nations and countries fail to keep their citizens employed and wealthy, they are forced to immigrate, take risks for a better future. Bitter realities of being a human in different boots.

How bad can it be in the country that these people came from to subject themselves to this? I cannot imagine what has become of our humanity to make this happen.

To think that is only the beginning of the journey. Getting across Central America isn't quite as bad but once they hit Mexico, they're extorted by the drug cartels to get up to the border and then have to pay coyotes to get across. It's full blown human trafficking. I've met a bunch of people that made this journey at a migrant shelter I take donations to in Tijuana. Around 700-800 people living in a church compound that shouldn't be housing more than 100-200. You can see the despair in the people's faces but still see smiles and people helping each other until they can get across. Some had been at the shelter for 1-2 years. No place for a kid to grow up.

Bless you all and may the new place provide you better opportunities than in place you were born .. put effort with the new place and work out with them , do not be lazy , you will make it… bless you all

Thank you for your important information dear Anderson

I know what these poor migrant, refugee's are going through trying to make it to safety and a better place. I was born behind the commie Iron Curtain. My parents decided to flee and try to make it to the West. We hid and ran through the wooded mountains for over 3 days. Fortunately I didn't slow them down too much or cry out and give them away cause the commies would ask : "Comrade, why do you want to escape from Communist paradise for the decadent West?" Worst case we could have been shot, placed in a penal Re-Education Camp if caught but we made it out to Austria and emigrated to America and FREEDOM.

i aint gone lie ..i got hyped when i saw lil man perk up!

This is heartbreaking 😢

Our my goodness. This is so hard 😢

This is so sad and horrible it breaks my heart

GOD BE WITH THEM AND MAY THEIR DREAM JOURNEY BEAR FRUITFUL LIFE AHEAD

Verry intresting video, i'd liked to watch it :)) Cheers

i have a 4 year old ...10 year old and my first born is 14... i can't imagine how i'd face this with them ... i really can't ...GOD bless and protect these poor people and their children ....

Only God knows I pray they all make it in life 🙏🏻

I pray for them. The way God remembered Hagai and Ishmael, to remember them and bless them. 😢 🇰🇪🇰🇪

Whoever is in charge at the entrance of the jungle shouldn't let parents with kids enter the jungle.

Captivating ❤

Pity he didn't tell them to turn around because don't want them.....come Legal or not at all. How does that mother expect to care for her Daughter ...FREE medical care!!

Bless them. It’s a matter of life and death 💕

I was one of these people, so my real experience was not easy at all, and I had to suffer it in every sense of the word😢😢

I consider it child abuse to put those sick kids through this journey. It’s not worth it.

literally I’m crying right now after seeing how much those people suffer to make their journey to the US 😢 Problem is the US has the legitimate reason to protect its borders at the same time those individuals have right to a better future 😑 Now I’m thinking about the ones that will make it, they have no idea how many challenges they have to face since day one hear in the US. It’s a real chaos.

I thought Hong Kong is a better place to live then majorities of these migrants! If the Chinese guy has enough cash to passed through so many different countries, why didn't he applies for a US Visa and fly legally entering the USA? That Chinese man is insane!

This reminds me of Western movie about wagon trains going West and they hired a train captain or something to guide the wagons.

Lord 🙏 bless them

Instead of doing this why aren’t they applying for asylum in their own countries then they don’t have to go through this

God bless America again

The best and worst documentary i have seen in my life. Thanks CNN. Life is very thrilling in darian gap. But kids are unacceptable.I will be there one day very soon.

Test of human endurance 😢😢

Lord have mercy on forever grateful 💕💕💕💕

What was the lady thinking taking her disabled daughter on a 3000 mile journey? Not very smart.

Walking a thousand miles to the border may just be as like hiking 5.5 miles up to Mount Everest summit.

oh wow...

Stucked in Tripoli Libya right now. I can't wait to embark on this treacherous journey again.

We have to change the global economic system. We the people have to issue our own currency, backed by productivity with a sound banking system. The corruption has to be uprooted not the suffering people. We can do this if we come together. I can certainly understand immigrants trying to have a better life. I applaud their courage. Now we have to have the courage to revise the economic system that provides the seeds for this kind of injustice.

bless these ppl Oregon Trailing it to America.

May God take care of these people. But my question is don't these people get access to maps to calculate how long the journey is and how hard.

I've don't trail hicking for fun and it's no child's play to climb up the mountains I feel sorry for these people 😢

This journey is not easy. God bless them on their journey to a better life.

Who is taking them across the canal? Thanks to Jimmy Carter who opened the way by giving control of the canal to Panama.

This is heartbreaking to see the children the disabled girl and the little boy coughing I feel bad for the ones who are really struggling with war crimes and other things that’s out of their control.. but then you have those who think American government is going to take care of them I had a lady from Africa tell me that she came to America because she thought the women in America didn’t have to work and the government gave us a house and other things. I told her oh really you thought wrong I’m a nurse and on my way to work to do a 12 hour shift right now so you have some come with the mindset that things are just going to be handed to them

Can anyone tell me what is happening here in this video

Thanks to Rick Paton Walsh by narration is the CNN guy trekking with the migrants. Anderson Cooper was the CNN host giving the introduction in part 1 of 4.

The strength of a woman respect women!! Respect them all & honor everything they do! I love women

00:52 tells you who was present..

I feel so sorry for the Haitians that's making this risk because of every group they will for sure be deported if caught.

Fever is a good thing usually. Its us doing it, not whatever is making you sick.

I understand that this is hard, their life is hard. They were not born into the best circumstances. I know that many will want to allow these people in because they have empathy for these people but the reality of the world is just that America can not take in all of the worlds poor. We cant let everyone in, there are not enough resources, jobs, houses. At some point we have to make a choice of who can and can not come. There are over 2 billion in severe poverty in the world, America has to pick and choose who gets to come in. If America begins to allow all who make it to the border to come in, it will exponentially increase the amount coming in to the point where America will no longer be able to offer any resources at all. The only real, sustainable answer for these people is to stay and fight for a better life. Its not fair, its not easy, but its the only real answer. The idea that america can let everyone in will fail some day, and then the real pain will begin.

Want the behind the camera addtion

Excellent example of why you need to come to the USA LEGALLY.

This let's you know that Latinos don't care nothing about each other 😝

No way those old people are going through this

Wow

GOOD

As much as I sympathize with the desire to have a better life and give their children a better life I can’t support the flow of illegal entry into America our system is broken and stretched to the limit already and the parents who send their children alone should be charged with abandonment and child endangerment! They seem to think we will just open the border and welcome them with open arms 😡 come legally or stay the hell away from our southern border 🤬ENOUGH is ENOUGH 🤢

😢😢

i wanna visit over there make a documentery

Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

My heart and my prayers goes out to all those people. 😞🙏🏻

I wish there was a makeshift medical tent for the children on this route. No country is worth bringing sickly kids on this route.

I just met a family today who did these walk through a few countries a couple with their three kids it broke my heart the strength it took
