Violence and oppression in Central and South America are driving a surge of migrants to the U.S.-Mexico border and for many the new target in Canada. CBC's Paul Hunter travels to Juarez, Mexico to find out more about what's driving them to make the dangerous run north.

Clarification: This story has been updated from a previous version to remove a video a Venezuelan couple claimed to have recorded recently of a crocodile in the Darien Gap. In fact, the video appears to have been recorded several years ago.
