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!

The Dawn of the Cold War
The Dawn of the Cold War Seth Cohen 58 Vues • 10 mois depuis

Learn how, after being brothers in arms during World War II, the Allies would soon become divided in peace. How did a post-war conference in Crimea lead to the Cold War?
This is the story of a face-off that pitted the two most powerful men on the planet for eight years: Stalin, the leader of the Soviet Union, and Truman, the president of the United States. This confrontation held the world in suspense and led them to the cold war. When Truman came to power in the spring of 1945, with World War II still not over, the United States and the Soviet Union were allies and fought together against Nazi Germany. But, once Hitler was defeated, the antagonisms and ambitions put to sleep during the conflict resurfaced. In a few months, the positions froze and the two blocs stood against each other, irreconcilable... It was the beginning of the cold war. This film recounts this pivotal period in our history. A period of high tension, while the United States and the USSR acquired atomic weapons. Kennan "Long Telegram", Berlin blockade, Korean War... Until the death of Stalin in 1953, crises followed one another. Thanks to declassified archives, the exceptional testimonies of former spies and President Truman's grandson, we relive the story from the inside and understand how the terrible spiral of the Cold War was put in place.
