But while many deemed it uninhabitable, recent findings suggest that a hidden society persisted in the Swamp until the mid-1800's. So, who lived there? And what happened to them? Dan Sayers uncovers a lost civilization. [Directed by Tomás Pichardo-Espaillat, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Cem Misirlioglu].\n
