As an acitve You Tube enthusiast, I keep up with posts on Panama.  A “not so good news for Panama” film is being presented at the upcoming LA film fest.  I have seen some of the travesties covered in this documentary first hand.   It seems Bocas Del Toro is ground zero for the discontent amongst the natives as a number of developers try to rope off beaches that belong to the Nation and the people who live there. 

Bocas Del Toro, Panama, has become a haven for American retirees. But a bigger threat to the locals are the voracious corporations eager to build luxury resorts on land the native population considers its own.
