Rather amusingly narrated tale about the building of the Panama Canal. You see, there were 2 types of workers.. the white ones and the narrative ones! The narrator boldly stated, but doesnt say WHY he had to say it, because he doesnt mention anything about it afterwards. Although he gives a very nice verbal history, its also quite funny how he fails to mention the dramatic death tolls of the building. Especially with the landslides. They mention the slides, just not the casualties. As for the images, theyre actually quite great! I mean, how many times have you seen the canal without water?…
