What was said

"These narcos were coming upriver, and they had machine. No one in the jungle has machine guns. They had machine guns, and they had like rain ponchos on, and they had all their shit piled up, and they zoomed right over to me, and they were like, "Who are you?""

Paul Rosalie recalls that, while canoeing alone in a remote part of the Amazon, armed men approached him by boat and demanded to know who he was. He says he showed them his camera, identified himself as a photographer, and they let him go after tossing him cigarettes. Rosalie claims the men were drug traffickers transporting cocaine.
