Deadliest Journeys - Guinea: The Land Of The Forgotten

- 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! In Guinea Conakry, the forest occupies more than a quarter of the surface of the country and beyond a national pierced with holes the inhabitants abandoned by the state had to create themselves bamboo ladders on cliffs to go from villages to villages. They borrow them at the risk of their lives ...
These shows really demonstrate how important infrastructure is to a country’s success.
I don't know if it's the properties of the soil in africa, but it seems like they struggle to build and maintain roads there, as soon as rain hits it becomes a mud mess (i presume) , decent roads are a MUST if African countries plan on improving to the next societal level.
Seems like every foreign aid institution and volunteer are more concerned about starting at the wrong end of the ice cream.
Sure helping the people is important, but they are creating a never ending loop of foreign aid for the continent.
And by that i think the people there suffer even more.
That Kid with the Hand Saw was killing it. These Documentaries are the best.
and killing himself
I _love_ these documentaries, and as this one started, I heard my absolute _favorite_ narrator would take us along, just splendid!!!
My favorite narrator too.
I love the narrator too. I just love everything he puts his voice on
@@lazyscorpion3889 narrator name pls
Not sure the name...but this narrator is legend. I love his voice
Me too
The mimicking of voices from the presenter is pathetic
@@enriqueolivares6638 its wonderful and sometimes its hilarious too

His name is Silvio Rivier.
He used to be a news reader and broadcaster for SBS Australia.
he has his own tv series
I thought it was a NEW episode! 😔 I’ve seen them all already.
Trick me ever time they need to make more
Watching from the Philippines.. I love your documentaries keep it up
Proudly from the Philippinea
Watching from unopened shocking and when and how can something be done to support and assist these people?buy them a new truck, how noble yes but on what rfoads to drive it, go in build roads for them but WHO? And when?as it is, our wold is just starting to awake to animal welfare, abat about people ? paled and at a loss. May the good lord help them and us….
That wee 5 year old (though he looked much younger if I’m honest) and the pain behind those despondent eyes; just about broke my heart as he sanded that box 💔
Those eyes were already clearly resigned to their fate; lying about their life’s goals because they know there’s nothing else for it.
I just wanted to take him and hug him and never let go 😭
That bit made me cry, and I am quite hardened to most things :(
the birth rate here is too high with the minimum salary level too low.. a family must plan carefully, with many children it really makes things difficult..
Wait, we complain about healthy, willing, sexually active women now?
Really need sex education, health centers/family planning centers and access to birth control
@@jasonshade2656 How many women do you think reproduce willingly in countries like these?
@@ems5206Your acting like the majority or a significant minority become pregnant non consensually 💀
Watching from Kenya 🇰🇪 the documentary i love it.. keep it up 🫰🏻
The pharmacist knows that they are bringing medicine, but he’s not even there!! 😂🤣
No money for food, but with 8 children... keep going this way and wait, the life goes better!
That still really isn't the point what these people need is education about safe sex but because of religion condoms arent used & every one should have the right to reproduce. There are some animals that's their whole goal of existence is too mate & reproduce so I think your point is mute
@@Rob17Cotton of course, Everyone has The Right to Choice. Good luck with the reproduction and generating more and more Shit without Any chance for an everyday life... minuteman... It is Complete bullshit to compare Humans with Animals in this case, and if they behave like animals they are Not Humans!
Because of the environment here on CZcams and the lack of expressions - Your Comment and My response are Really Right, Truth - Your Truth and My truth obviously are Completely opposite, and we both have Zero tolerance for the other side, But I must say it - Yes, it is Ricght and Choice for Everyone and RESPONSIBILITY if crate new Life, and YES Im against Any kind of force to forbid people with sterilization for do it.
Let's put the point here, I think it is fair for both sides because, without this note under the line, my comment sounds aggressive and without respect.
@Rob Cotton this is not true
Jealous , you have got food but you can't make babies? Don't expect all for you
Radoslav, you're absolutely correct...you are politically incorrect, but you are absolutely right!!! :)
The best documentaries around .
Very good documentary.Thank you.
God help the people of Africa 🙏🇬🇭
God bless you Doctor & his team 🙏🙏I like this Documentry 👌 & this DW channel. Pls Translation in a Hindi language 🙏🙏 Pls
Benjamin is saving lives as he can. Such a sad situation
I salute the Crews who filmed the Best Documentary ever. Thank You All for the Insight.
Love this channel.
That 80 yr old climbing up the vines hes in spectacular shape never seen anything like that.
I lived in Tanzania for two years and it was humbling to the core… Its sickening how many people complain and take for granted living in the USA… They dont even know what a hard life is.
You are wrong. I live in the U.S. and I do know what a hard life is! Speak for yourself!
@@chicagogyrl4846 no one in the US has a life as hard as these people do. being poor in the US is nothing compared to how these people live. my family was poor growing up, my dad had to use the bus to get to work until i was 12 because using a car for work was completely unaffordable
And yet our countries are somewhat ok. Tanzqnia is way better than mosybof these countries yet life is😢 still hard!
@@chicagogyrl4846 I do too? Im saying alot of people in the USA take for granted everything we have.. People there spend their whole day working to just eat at the end of the day. A mom i met there spends 13 hours a day in a greenbean field bent over..
@@rootigaroot9922 It's not about "Who has it worse", every country's population has its own problems, and then with further challenges from family to family, someone may have running water, electricity and a flat screen but it doesn't mean they live better than others, because financial issues are a constant threat to all people, it's called maslow's hierarchy of needs, look it up.
Thanks for showing us what life is in some African countries. It is very sad that leaders from these poor countries sit with others in AU meetings and discuss lofty issues while they cannot deliver a simple safe road. Sometimes foreign aid makes African countries more poorer unless it comes in form of tangible materials like medicine or other specific service.
I feel like crying just watching this. If you know their history you'd know money as we know it was made from African gold called guinea. Europe milked these countries for their gold and now they are left alone. They gained nothing from the rich natural reserves on their land
Really, it's shameful the way the "leaders" steal the money. At least makenit easy for the people to move.
@randomvideoshere6540 yes, we know how guilty the colonialists are BUT at this point, we are doing it to ourselves. It doesn't have to be this bad. The government can make a road but they are criminals.
@@jcymngo u are right. It doesn't have to be this bad
@@randomvideoshere6540 it is true europeans did not do any favors, but the issues were here long before and after. south africa was the most invested into and it has completely fallen apart in the last 20 years
I love this show of life..... I like the translation from the host.
Thanks,
0:35 two classic French car at one shot -I like it.
22 years old! Yes, yes it's surely very new, because he bought it recently:)
😅😅😅😅
I am watching this four times
There are any year vehicles available! Also money, also much ignorance!
the kids are amazing but brings tears to see the life
I trust the exhaust system doest heat the underside of that drivers seat
My thoughts also.
Dont be too hard on us, life in africa is a challenge but its interesting, these shortfalls always bring us closer in solving our problems, unlike the west where entitlement is the norm,
African resilience is a life lesson for those in better places
🙏
Cardboard is a good insulator. Double boxing the material would help greatly.
Excellent
people shouldn't be living like this in a world with so much freaking money going around
My heart broke for the young Mama who lost her baby during child birth 💔 it's awful I can't imagine Bless her heart
"The farmacist arrives after 1 hour. He brushes his garment that took him 59 minutes to put on."
Love guinea.. From Rusia
Love the sarcastic narrator
Watching things like this make me so thankful that I was born in Australia, life is so cheap in some countries but it is still so unaffordable for so many 😢
Be so grateful for in some countries life is becoming difficult each day
There WAS a railway, from Conakry to Kankan, built by the French at the beginning of the 20th century. But they wanted to be independant, and when the Russians were there, they were only interested in extracting bauxite, so they used the railway for that purpose. I travelled through Guinea-Conakry in 1988, using taxi-bushes (4 years after the death of the dictator Sekou Touré), and in many parts of the country, it was still Middle Age. Earlier it was the gem of French West Africa.
I'm from India and it's true. Many times benefits of Colonisation is completely ignored and now you can't even say any single good thing about colonial government.
@@nisargjani8050 This is the good result of colonial governments; where do you think the resources are going? France and other colonial empires are still extracting anything they can. Also, colonialism in Africa was slavery; they didn't come to build or improve life for the natives; they saw them as savages with gold and diamonds they could use. During colonial times people had to give the food they farmed to Europeans for free. So no, there's nothing positive about colonialism for us, and it's disgusting to even suggest there is and not sorry for people who think like you if they feel attacked. I was born in Guinea and didn't live there because of these poor conditions, and I was shocked to see this because my region is developed due to our immigration. Europe did nothing for us; we worked hard to build roads and modernize our region. This region of Guinea is the poorest, even though most presidents/dictators are from there.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭atleast 1 country that France did something for. I pray that God is real and that the judgement day is a real thing
@@Lilyrose23 The resources paid for the upkeep. Now the African nations are corrupt and the resources pay for their corruption and soon nothing because there will be no infrastructure
@@Lilyrose23 Slavery was already deeply established in Africa prior to the arrival of the colonists. The trans-Saharan slave trade dwarfed the trans-Atlantic slave trade.
Sad to see the kids working they should be in school
what a fascinating documentary. it just kept getting worse and worse. those poor kids.
Benjamin is a hero!
I will never complain about my circumstances again. God bless Africa
Φίλε τα βιντεάκια σου τέλεια!!!
Как приятно видеть ЗИЛ, завода уже нет, а он ездит и трудится.
Живучая копия американского Форда
It's true that many challenges in Africa and elsewhere are often human-made. If governments could focus on serving the needs of their citizens, especially the less privileged, it could indeed contribute to making a better place. The potential for positive change is significant.
Hats off to these people for surviving in such arduous conditions. May God bless them. Such a different mentality in the US, where everyone complains about not having enough, and its entitlement culture.
You're wrong. Not everyone complains.
Actually only a small percentage complain and those are the one's getting the most for doing nothing because everyone else is working hard to support them.
Maybe you're one of the one's doing nothing and so you have plenty of time to complain.
Humans will never get enough of it
Entitlement and arrogance
@@rzbkfan190 Lmao, how's the Bezos bootshine?
The US also has massive poverty problems, legal slavery, awful working conditions, terrible workers rights, no sick days, massive problems with racist policies, racist police, racist power structures, racist courts etc etc etc, people aren't complaining because life is good, you dingleberry.
Looking at the difference between usa and these countries i consider our land so bless, heaven!!
Africa was Blessed Too and Still IS even after the Colonizers Stole Everything and still is
I spent two years in Conakry. Lived in Kaloum.
令人驚奇的
[22:45] When I see the way many people live in places like this, I am so grateful for all the opportunities and comforts that come with living in a 1st world country. But I have a hard time feeling sympathy for people like this man who has EIGHT freaking children and TWO wives to feed, clothe, house, educate and generally support. This man brought eight innocent human beings into the world to live a life of poverty and malnutrition due to a steady diet of corn flour soaked in dirty water.
The women also brought them into the world, not only the man!!
My same thought every time I watch one of these. They are nice people, but every single time, they are at the bottom of the poverty line yet still have minimum 4 children
@@rootigaroot9922 Because children bring in money
Watched already twice
Me not yet
Yah it's something else ey
So tragic that the pregnant woman lost her baby, and that she could have gone without necessary medicine for lack of EUR 3.50
I seriously doubt it’s an aneurysm or else he would be dead from within minutes to within days.
I will never understand why in all these poor countries, people continue to have kids. They can’t even feed themselves. I feel like it’s so selfish
30:35 yeah right it’s child labor. They are not there for internship. Interview the kids alone they will tell you there working full time.
I love my Africa . I hate my leaders
The political problems, leadership problems and the worst of all corruption
Seeing them I always wonder how people in Europe / USA or even in Sahara like Egipt managed to build all those roads - Cities and all that technology
Exploitation of other countries and people for most of them, and politically motivated financial aid for others.
Slave labor.
we are smarter
@@acow9966it's because of civil war and either droughts or floods that hold these countries back
@@vickythefist7062 Africans hadn't even discovered the wheel when Europeans started to colonize
I worked there in the early 80's, the infrastructure looks exactly the same, nothing has changed.
Those little boys working at the woodshop without masks...just heartbreaking!!
The women have natural beauty there
Salute to Benjamin
This episode was shown within the last two weeks or so.
This land is a fertile soil and seemhave enough water, Good for aggricuture. Where is that?
Him: "...abas is proud of his car, it's only 22 years old".
Me: laugh to death😅
Whenever I have the slightest hint of being unhappy with my life in America where I have a house, cars, and a job that pays very well, I’ll think of the poor souls all throughout Africa and I will stop feeling sorry for myself at once. I really despise the corrupt governments in, essentially, every country on the continent of Africa. It is impressive how the people persevere, though.
just because there are people worse off than you in the world does not mean you are not allowed to feel what you are feeling.
Where is Red Cross and other organizations which millions are donated to help these people
We have no money, my truck is too old.... I think 8 kids and 2 wives is the real problem 🤔
8 kids is an investment when they are old. Kids there start working as early as 6-7 years old.
Or there poor because USA Slaves Afrika
When was this filmed?
2016
8 children 2 wives? 😅😅😂😂
Some of us are still sad bcz we don't have iphone 😬😇🙁🙁
Would it be so hard to get a cooler for vaccines?
It seems a good number of independent African countries would have been better off without independence!
Unfortunately kids under 10 years of age using sharp tools without safety break me up
Another re-run
The country is rich, so why do the people not get any of the money???!!
Do more Africa documentaries
absolutely shocking how the children are treaded
How can Africa ever industrialise without decent roads?
Sad.
You would have thought for a country so rich in gold. It would look after it's own people.
But it's like any other country, money comes first.
I live in the UK, the government may look after the highways in the cities,
but the towns and minor roads are far from looked after.
Councils and road authorities in England, Scotland and Wales have paid out almost £14 million for vehicle damage caused by potholes between January 2018 and June 2023.
They have money to pay for compensation. But not to fix the highways once and for all
45:16 shout out to Benjamin, doing the Lord's work.❤❤❤❤
Grown men,like lil babies. Unbelievable.
A hospital with no water or medicine??!!
😢😢😢
28:26 that kid is like 7 nd smoking 😬
tropic
Wow insane how Mumbrella has let them down...and then these work shops exploit them for child labor in these woodshops...very sad!
Sad
4 days in labour
Uber the 82 year old must be rated for the bravery.
I live in Eswatini. Desperate poor as well. But there is no child exploitation here. I cannot believe that children are mistreated like this. It is a blot on humanity. The people in the USA who say they cannot survive on their social grants should say thanks every day for their easy lives. BUT there is one thing I can say - people must stop having children in these poor countries - in 80% of cases the fathers abandon the mothers and children to their fate. I see it first hand here where I live.
The priest tho😂
New boyfriend? Ha!
Priest come pimp
At least abbas's car is newer than mine. I am driving a 37 years old car... 😂😂😂
Africa is wild, the nurse was very sweet though.
Narator is awesome 😎
sad to see that they have nothing like 4 euros - and the dead born baby 😢 crazy down there
8 children and two wives. What could go wrong??
The wives look like they are eating for three people!!
Different channel same video anyway let me watch to support the channel
36:14 Не знал, что в Гвинею ЗИЛ-130 поставляли, да ещё и до 1977 года
