Paraguay, the Invincibles of the Chaco | Deadliest Journeys
Paraguay, the Invincibles of the Chaco | Deadliest Journeys Seth Cohen 28 Vues • 8 mois depuis

Paraguay has long been isolated by a dictatorship that lasted nearly 35 years, the country is getting back to work, everywhere the economy is taking off, except in the Chaco. The region occupies half of the country and yet it has only one inhabitant per km2. The men try to find a place in the middle of this wild nature with its extreme climate, depending on the season the thermometer goes from zero to 50°. The roads that cross the Chaco are rarely maintained, getting from one point to another takes courage, especially during the winter rains. We followed one of the few drivers to venture there? it is for this reason that the locals nicknamed it Michelin. They call me that because they are tires that resist everything. At 67 he does not receive any pension, so he continues to play transporters in his old van. Despite this inhospitable climate, strange colonies of men and women settle there, under their hands the forest disappears giving way to immense fields. Mennonites dedicate their lives to god and reject any form of modern society? Their dress code dates back to the 18th century and only travel by horse-drawn carriage? These Protestant Christians from Germany and even Alsace are mostly blond with blue eyes and only marry among themselves? The Chaco is also the reign of resourcefulness, you can come across a machine that seems straight out of the movie Mad Max. A vehicle unique in the world, half bus, half truck!

Dictatorship, Paranoia, Famine: Welcome to North Korea!
Dictatorship, Paranoia, Famine: Welcome to North Korea! Seth Cohen 28 Vues • 8 mois depuis

It is the most closed country in the world, the last great communist, paranoid and aggressive dictatorship. In North Korea, nothing or almost nothing has changed since the creation of the country by Kim Il-Sung in 1953. 23 million North Koreans survive in absolute misery, without any freedom, prisoners of impassable borders. It is in this distressing universe that a group of French people have decided to spend their holidays. 8500 euros for three weeks is as expensive as a stay in the Seychelles. But for this price they will have to be satisfied with rationed food, hotels without comfort, outdated buses... Not to mention the permanent surveillance of threatening guides. Claude, Henri and Jacqueline will discover cities without cars, empty shops, casinos without money. They will have to submit to mandatory visits, propaganda and forced tributes to the eternal president of North Korea. An incredible journey, as North Korea prepares for the rise to power of Kim Jong-Un, grandson of the founder of the first communist dynasty in history.
