Synopsis

The film focuses on the life in the poor neighborhoods and ghettos of Panama, featuring scenarios like the post-Operation Just Cause weapon-filled El Chorrillo and the like. The movie focuses on three characters: Dancehall (and now also Reggaeton) artist Latin Fresh; "Fat", a clerk who works collecting corpses on Panama streets; and Lolo, leader of the gang "Krazy Killas".
The name comes from a phrase mentioned by a drugged individual in the film who mentions what translates as: "Visit Panama. For one dollar you will be able to buy a pound of cocaine, a dose of crack and even try the "Pegon" -a mix of cannabis with battery acid, diesel, gasoline and other chemical compounds-".
The documental features known figures of the Reggae en Español & Dancehall scene of Panama like deejays Julio Moreno, Suppouse, Danger Man, Kafu Banton, Arruga and Latin Fresh.
