Inside Colombia's Most Dangerous Border Region

Along the border between Colombia and Venezuela, fuel has become a valuable commodity, and smuggling is a way of survival for thousands of families.

In this remote region of South America, Venezuela's economic crisis has created a thriving underground trade. Follow José Luis, Carlos and other local drivers as they transport thousands of liters of fuel across dangerous border crossings, avoiding police patrols and navigating isolated routes.
But beyond the fuel trade lies another crisis. In Colombia's arid La Guajira region, the Indigenous Wayuu people struggle with years of drought, water shortages and extreme poverty. With traditional farming becoming increasingly difficult, some families turn to cross-border fuel trading to survive.

From secret border routes to villages where women walk for hours to collect water, this documentary reveals the human stories behind economic hardship, environmental challenges and life on one of South America's most troubled borders.
