Marta's first supermarket

In 2016, Liset Barrios and Marta Amaro left Cuba with no plan, just the name of a human smuggler scribbled onto a piece of paper, and a dream to make it to the United States. They flew to Guyana, the closest country allowing Cubans in without a visa, and they traveled north, chasing the imminent end of “wet foot, dry foot,” a migration policy that allowed Cubans almost automatic entry without a visa. They would hop ten borders and cross the Darien Gap on foot. I followed every step of the way.
