In Latin America, 35,000 kilometers of borders delimit the territories of Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Chile, Argentina, Peru, Ecuador, Paraguay and Brazil.
But each border is not just a boundary between nations. It is a line that separates the legal from the illegal. A very thin line… that many are willing to cross.
A series that takes you to the most convulsed border points in South America, such as the border between Colombia and Venezuela; the Rumichaca international bridge that joins Colombia with Ecuador; the “Triple Border” between Paraguay, Brazil and Argentina; the desert border between Chile and Bolivia, among others.
Day after day, each border becomes an agitated and dangerous scenario, where anything can happen: uncontrolled migration, drug trafficking, smuggling of goods and exotic animals, and trafficking of people destined for sexual exploitation or semi-slavery. However, men and women are there. From policemen, gendarmes, to customs officers, they relentlessly fight those who seek to break the law.
Entirely filmed in the hottest and most dangerous borders of the region, by the hand of the real protagonists of the action… you will live the adrenaline, the tension, and the drama… And you will witness a battle against crime that is more extreme than ever.

Cuba opens its doors for the first time and allows documenting the movement of one of the most important air terminals in Central America and the Caribbean: Havana’s José Martí International Airport.
Less than 20 kilometers from the center of the city, every year more than 9 million people transit under the watchful custody of the National Police and the United Nations Aircop Group, with a team specialized in migration control that performs a vital work for the entire region, since through Cuba they try to migrate illegally from all over the world to reach the continent.
Every hour the agents face the smuggling of regulated goods, weapons, or the attempt to enter money and goods without declaring them, but undoubtedly, one of the fundamental tasks is that carried out by the narcotics division, who are trained in the work of profiling passengers, looking for particular signs and strange movements to prevent the different drug trafficking crimes.
