Catharina Moh has been to Bolivia to meet people living on what's known as the rich mountain - a silver mine that's home to some of the country's most vulnerable. Bolivia's socialist president Evo Morales is hoping for re-election for a historic third term.
He is the country's first indigenous leader, and has pledged to return more of the nation's wealth to the people, and help Bolivia's poorest.

![⛔RECORRO UNA MINA DE PLATA POR DENTRO😲👀 [NO APTO PARA CLAUSTROFÓBICOS] | POTOSÍ, BOLIVIA🇧🇴](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/_PD_ohrJ1x0/mqdefault.jpg)
My beautiful , beloved country, my heart speeds in pain and proud to see my people struggling but still fighting, the most precious faces and values in my children, how much I miss you :), soon I will come back and try to put my contribution in life, love you Bolivia.
Yo soy boliviano y el evo fue un terrible presidente.
@@juliobenavides241 Evo's Spanish often sounds mumbled and sloppy to me as an American. Is this because he is Indigenous? Most Bolivians speak a very pure Spanish that is very easy for me to understand, but not Evo. He almost sounds Mexican to me at times. I mostly agree with you because I think he is narcissistic, stubborn, and divisive.
Endless hell for those workers. This is extreme tragedy. Prayers from Japan. Japanese tv show just covered this topic today.
Thank you for choosing to take the time and funds to report a story in Bolivia. As you've probably noticed, our country is so underdeveloped that it hardly ever gets much representation in online mainstream media, so it's really helpful to at least get some stories out there to the general public's eye. Maybe with time we can hope for a brighter future in our country's development, but for now all we can ask for is improving awareness.
Bolivia is perhaps the most criminally underdeveloped country I can think of. It has been robbed blind from the outside and within for its entire modern history.
Ahora Bolivia es mas desarrollado q Argentina Brasil Perú Colombia México
@@rolendo4075noooo way haha at least not from peru
how i miss my country...but there are two sides to every story... bolivia throughout its existence has struggled with political corruption, falsely appointed dictators and huge scandals..once the richest country due to its natural resources is now the poorest in south america...the struggle between the classes of the people has left the country divided for years..evo morales has supported the poor farmers, which is good, but has neglected the poor people from the oriental side of bolivia which further divided the already existing struggle..we are far from reaching a solution, one can only hope.
Don't hold your breath whilst hoping for an equal & fair, world. We've been trying for maybe twenty thousand years, probably longer, we're further away than ever we've been. Long live the revolution! Until the revolutionaries attain power & then....There is nothing new under the sun. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Go back home and make it better
Feelthefx - wdym go back home?
It's no coincidence that the poorest nations in the world all spent many years under colonial rule. :\ They exploit the land and people for their resources, and leave it in worse shape than it started.
For 400 years potosi of this video has been drained to enrich other countries and the problem is Evo. Do you really think the world is divided in good and bad this way? Corrupted and not corrupted? Manichaeism is a plague worst than corona in Latino America.
"Outside the mine we are Catholics. Inside, we worship the devil."
Can you imagine?
This is double standard christianity,which The Lord hates.
Lack of faith in God is a sin too.
You don't believe the creator of those minerals to protect you down there,but can only protect you up there.
Let's not put God in a box.We should keep our faith in him strongly.
Yes it is true that the devil controls those things down there ,and he's going to fight you but ,yes he's always in costant fight with the children of God but,Jesus said with faith as little as the mustard seed you can say to this mountain move and it will move.
Faith abandoned or neglected is fear tolerated as said by Jesse Duplantis.
Faith is the thing.
Christiana Kwofie
I think they’ve got bigger concerns than whether they’re sinners or not, or where a god may or may not protect them.
Working in this mountain is a hell, and they place their faith in whatever gets them through the day.
Judge not.
abshir2010 you don’t understand that there are three world’s upper, middle, under.
@@kristodea8067 Found the non-catholic
@@kristodea8067 dude it's their belief chill
Thank you BBC and Diana Martin for a moving presentation.
Bolivia and Bolivians deserve better...hope things improve...
This documentary presenter is so beautiful... 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭☺️☺️☺️
Strong honest people and I have hope for Olga. How very sad and yet inspiring.
Poor boy.... he seems so unhappy... I hope he’s okay now.❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow a BBC reporter that did more of a report and less of the BBC spin! Excellent showing what people go through. I could watch your reports for hours, I hope you get to do many more.
THIS IS NOT HEROIC ACTION BY THE REPORTER.......THIS WAS HIGHLY DANGEROUS REPORTING RISKING LIVES OF HER CREWS ❗❗❗
Thank you for the information. The Spanish started this. Like what usually happens when they come around, in Potosi alone, over nine million Africans and indigenous Bolivians (slaves) died in these mines over three centuries. Socialism had nothing to do with it; it was the European. I guess that's their way of expressing gratitude for Bolivia sharing the potato. The Spanish did the same thing in Mexican mines, killing millions.
Africans are nearly non existent in Bolivia.
thanks for an excellent article on this topic. well presented and very informative.
so lets start a fund sending these workers some dust masks ??????
@Steven Nickholdson your so cool
Such beautiful people. Such is life's trials; poverty and rich & poor.
Damn me as a son of bolivians living in Sweden watching my brothers and sisters living conditions from time to time to remeber myself.
Rich man take, poor people die. Who knew?
bjfdog greed makes life in-enjoyable for the "long" living rich man who lives in after-tomorrow. the poor is grateful for every day of the life. who is living really?
@@live4Cha well said
@@live4Cha So true... the plight of the poor is ironic; they fail to understand that their lives are better than those of the rich. Rich people wish they were poor so they wouldn't have to 'live in after-tomorrow' ;)
Its because of El tio. 😁
Make Bolivia Great again!
Tenemos que apreciar mas lo que tenemos hoy. Deberiamos dejar de quejarnos. Yo visite Potosi hace 4 anos pasado, nunca fui en la mina, pero vi mucha pobresa entre la poblacion. En toda America del Sur viajado por 7 meses, en Bolivia pase 35 dias y me anamore en la pais, en las personas, en sus corazones, ojos y todo. No deserven los bolivianos esta pobresa, pero cuando no hay dinero no tienes otra opcion. Es tan sencillo porque trabajan alli.
HOW A FINE REPORT + VIDEO. HOW BEAUTIFULLY Catharina Moh SPEAKS ENGLISH AND SPANISH.
Poor souls, more interested in the reporter than the report.
crazy to think i was in that very same mine shaft a little under a year ago. We saw two children working inside the mine who quickly moved out of site when they saw us
Niños valientes de Bolivia , algún día cambiaran al mundo
Great but sad story.
superar madre dios tamos en el siglo 21
The country very beautyful!
Excellent video! Thank you!
what a life!
I took a tour of that mountain. Very chilling.
I love this. I was scared all the comments would be attacks on the narrator. Thankfully people are somewhat positive. ❤️
Amazing
for a while I was feeling myself so lucky, so much complete...
they r starving...
struggling for nominal money being a survivor...
& do hard work by leaving their lives, families @ ground level & by living underneath the surface within an inferno... :(
terrible !
Arijit it’s only a small village. I know a guy from Bolivia he goes to college in USA obviously some Spaniard conquistadors are rich while enslaving the poor and natives
I kind of want to watch more...
Helpless the way that lady was describing the death by the mining accident that was pathetic. Good documentary.
El Tío, watch over and protect them!
Great documentary. The reporter is so beautiful
Catharina Moh is a beauty, wow!
I feel so so sad seeing this.... this is my country... this is how it is... so many poor people and nobody cares about it... so ASHAMED of this "governement"
Have you thought about overthrowing it?
endless nightmare for those workers. this is extreme tragedy. Prayers from Japan
Nice reporting.
Wow no plants grow there..a real sci-fi dystopian landscape
It's so dry nothing grows there. If it was a wetter, It'd be teeming with life similar to that of the Ecuadorian andes.
Another outstanding docco... sad you guys never 'quite' get to the bad people and ask any tough questions...
Too many people dying here for sure, but mining out the bottom of the mountain without taking the top off first probably is not going to help much with that in the long run.
The worship of El Tio is endlessly fascinating to me.
God bless these people hopefully their government will do something to help them better future
endless nightmare for those workers. this is extreme tragedy. Prayers from Japan
Am buying my husband a ticket for a mini vacation to go over there...for his birthday
Great content!
Watching this makes me feel so much pain, so much sadness, and so much anger; these people could have had better and more privileged lives. This is not right, it is what these people only know, and I would love a different future for them.
It is freezing cold with thin air...not much oxygen like at the sea level.
具体的に何ができるのか分からないけれど、少なくとも目を背けてはならない事だけは分かる。
So sad
I'm afraid the mountain will crumble
Wow, she's absolutely beautiful
Back off, I've fallen for her already ;)
No I'm first
Simps
@@elinikolai7493 🤣
😀
Imagine , a city that single-handedly provided the world with 60% of all silver for 300 years .. is in a country now called “south America’s poorest country”… it pains me as a Bolivian to see that my people is living in these conditions STILL, when they should be living like kings ! for 300 years ! Europeans plundered, killed , abused… the world owes Bolivia more than just acknowledgement or apologies.. and guess what… IT CONTINUES TO THIS DAY …
EL TIO
that reporter is FINE
She's not native american. Shes the ChindianTraveller
@Jin Roh True.

Top voted comment. How sad this world is. The majority of men will thirst for a women far before they sympathize with the impoverished and hungry. Hence why poverty still exists. Let's put the slaves like you in the mines, and put those who know suffering in a nice comfy chair behind a computer with food in their belly.
@@murkawicz please don't comment on a video ever again. Prick
The sad thing is that these guys don't realize they should be making way more since EVO sells it for 20 times what they make. He gives children a monthly income so this makes poor people want to have more kids.
I remember the song lalala...
Me enamore de esa mujer ..😍😍 es hermosa
What’s is reporter name plz tell me her name
I dont know who’s the devil ? El - Tio or the government to handle the miner’s situation like that ! Sad life . Our prayers for them ❤️🔥
Please send account number of this workers I will help. I appreciate the energetic journalist. I Love you
I also want help
they dont even have bank account.
This is true it's sad but I am from Bolivia and my uncle was just laid off from the mines as an engineer. EVO Morales let's this happen after he promised to make life better for them. They do more hand labor since there is no technology. If you google patiño he used to take care of the miners long time ago in Bolivia and gave them a better life.
define better life
Do you still think that after Añez?
Not true! read more bout Patino he spread Bolivia's wealth all through Europe not leaving one cent for Bolivia. All these people in the past who are still benefiting from the riches of this country are Vultures, north American imperialists, and vampires of Bolivia.
not an entirely honest documentary. you can tell at 9:42 when it's said "her daughters often help", but the little girl is obviously not accustomed to helping, with her mother telling her to "not use her hands". journalism is just ridiculous these days.
el tio!!!!
wow. that reporter. wowow
Governmental Fear. Afraid to Slam the Mining companies and. Make Change
Those who say why they aren't wearing gas masks is that because they won't last long, only the top class mine ventilation will make them breath easier.
Wildlands... similarities to real world definitely not a coincidence! I feel for these rural communities. They almost really are completely reliant on their government leaders to give them a better outcome to their lives re education, health, work employment, public access and resources etc. Definitely makes Wildlands a lot more depressing now....
name of the reporter plz
How does the guy who owns this and his mega yacht sleep at night knowing he's getting rich off kids who barely get paid and die early from lung problems
Bolivia does not have access to the Pacific Ocean.
Although the yacht could be in Lake Titicaca perhaps?
@@Francisco81a He probably means the companies that pay the miners, most of those companies have their headquarters in Switzerland.
Hard working people. Hope they are all doing well and getting aid.
You are a brave woman
Nuestro paises latinos sufriendo por los malos administradores que corren nuestra tierra.
Cat Moh!!
Children can legally work at age 10??? It’s sad to see this. How can my birth country be like this? It is absolutely inexcusable that they are STILL living like that ! 😡. I hope that young boy is able to become a Lawyer 🙏🏽
He's 21 at this point, and most likely he's not studying to become a lawyer.
*eats men* *triggered*
Love BBC News..
:(
No he has not.
You tube why do you place ads on the screen while watching a post,you hide half of what is being watched is hidden by the ads,so not good,and frustrating to watch anything,please stop,or at least make it shorter.
I am Canadian and have lots of south American friends who say that Canadian mining companies are taking advantage of them. If this is what the mines looked like before we rolled in and started modernizing the processes, then well I am glad that we are investing in mines there.
If the mineral resources is rich enough for these fine people to make a living there then just imaginge the kind of prosperity that can be realized if machinery was brought in to do this work and strict saftey laws. The miners would be more healthy, the mines would be more safe, minerals can be processed more effectively and with such profits, even environmental pollution can be paid for by the mine.
But Canada Muslim country
Hmm for these ones they are even lucky coz they can get atleast a dollar for survival not like us where thiefty and corruption plus impunity is the order of the day amongst govt officials
The bias of this BBC report against Bolivia's govt. is quite evident. Why doesn't this same reporter go to Chile and Peru and describe the awful conditions in their mines? BBC stop being such a hipocrite news media.
Bolivias goverment is shit..you know it
Bolivianischen ??

The reporter is stunning. Wow.
She eats men too
I did a reportage too about this mine in Bolivia, I'll share it here, waiting for some opinions, thanks!
Hice un reportaje yo tambien sobre esa mina en Bolivia, lo comparto aqui esperando sus opiniones, saludos desde Italia!

PPL JUST GO MISSING THERE.MOST LIKELY ITS HUMAN TRAFICING SINCE THE GOV IS CORUPT
Absolutely unacceptable that kids have to work in the mines in order to support their families. There needs to stronger regulation when it comes to child labor along with better access to education for these children and increased working conditions for the miners! Even a mask or lights or other safety equipment could help. Insane how basic safety equipment is not even utilized to aid the situation there. I hope things improve for everyone there and that no child ever has to work in the mines again!
She so cute..
So much gold for one of the poorest countries in Europe. Spain
So stupid... they don't have to enter in these mountains or caves by breaking all they meet.
We don't make a profit...We're just helping them .....Uh huh.....I know ur helping them....Damn !
Anyone notice all the pyramids
God only will take care
I love this reporter😊😊😊😊
DO PRACTISE FAMILY PLANNING WITH MAXIMIUM 2 CHILDREN. IF YOU ARE SUFFERING, DO NOT MAKE YOUR CHILDREN SUFFER MORE. OVERPOPULATION WITH ALMOST EVERYTHING IN SHORT SUPPLY IS NOT A GOOD WAY TO LIVE.
Dianna is cute . You can come to do report in my mine any day .😁😂😂😂
500 years of mining Jesus
