"...The gangs are a direct consequence of the invasion. Since the gringos came with their bullshit invasion, everyone has a gun. Even the people you'd least expect. Before, if you wanted a gun, you needed money to buy it and a permit. Now you don't need money or a permit..."
In route to send one of my interviewees the link for the Academy Award winning documentary The Panama Deception (1992) about the 1989 US invasion of Panama, I came across this:
One Dollar: el Precio de la Vida (Spanish with English subtitles)
a documentary about post-invasion drugs gangs, and crime in poor Panamanian communities. I am interested to hear thoughts about this piece. Let me know if you watch it.
