Deadliest Journeys - Guinea: The Land Of The Forgotten Seth Cohen 15 Visualizzazioni • 2 mesi fa

In a thrilling race on gruesome roads, desperate bush Taxi drivers scramble to deliver drugs and vaccines in less than 24 hours. At the other end of the trail sick people and children on borrowed time are waiting. But will they be able to afford the medicine that will save them? A surreal trip to Guinea Conakry, where there are still many serious diseases, such as polio, diphtheria and rabies. A country in full decay where the rutted roads tire the drivers nervously and where the delays they take paralyze the economy of the country ... Located in the west of Africa and in the south of Senegal, Guinea Conakry is nevertheless a country rich. Its subsoil is full of minerals like gold and diamonds, but people never see their color. The film reveals hallucinating realities: the hospital in a town of 200,000 inhabitants, Kissidougou, operates without electricity and the nurse on duty is content with the wreckage of an ambulance to go and save a pregnant woman in difficulty at 75 kilometers away. Poverty pushes families to put their children to work from the age of 6. In a roadside carpentry shop, no less than 102 children are found working and sleeping on the floor in what looks a lot like dormitories in a labor camp. According to Unicef, 25% of young Guineans take the road to work every morning rather than the often inaccessible school!

They borrow them at the risk of their lives ...

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!
