End of the Road

I've been exploring the videos on Current.com and the work in their Vanguard Journalism section is impressive.

End of the Road is a solid piece of reporting by Jael de Pardo on the 60 mile break in the Pan American Highway. Although the tone is casual and verite, Jael conveys the danger in the area as well as the urgent challenges the people in the region face.

A brave, informative piece.
