THUNDEROUS applause greeted Panama Canal Stories at the Courtleigh Auditorium in New Kingston, on Wednesday night.
The movie is part of the week-long inaugural Jamaica Promotions Corporation's (JAMPRO) Jamaica Film Festival which ends today.
"It's one film done by five different Panamanian directors and has a lot to do with Jamaica. In the beginning of the building of the Panama Canal, a lot of people came from the West Indies, especially Jamaica and Barbados, and they stayed there," Argentina-born Pablo Schverdfinger, executive producer and co-producer, told the Jamaica Observer.
