- 00:00 In South Kivu in Congo, the city of Shabunda is one of the most isolated in the country. Its access is so difficult that life is more expensive there than in any European city. Thus, the poorest families come to look for food there by bicycle or motorbike. These convicts of the road sometimes transport up to 250 kilos of goods for several days, without worrying about the dangers. Without ever giving up, these travelers are almost all considered heroes because "he who does not travel does not know the value of men", according to the Congolese.

I don't think I've ever seen something so humbling. These people have probably the hardest life to live and still keep going. I truly do feel bad for the people who have been abandoned.
There’s much tougher living out there than this. Not taking anything from it though between bad roads and lack of proper food supplies certainly a hard life

I watched every minute of this vid to appreciate every second that how lucky i am currently. Hope the best of the best to the Congolese.
penso igual meu camarada..
You are not lucky .These people may have a hard life but they are happier because they do not have all the new world bullshit .
The richest place on earth comes at an astonishing cost.
So uneducated people think that they are so lucky to have what they have, without realising where it comes from, the universal cost, or how come the world is upside down.
meganggu kerja orang
same here. me too. we need to be grateful in every bit of food that we eat, every seconds of comfy sleep that we take, every accessible road that we took everyday. we should stop our silly sigh everyday and start moving forward to improve our self.
From Kenya i really love Congolese especially their music and how they are talking Swahili.
I had the pleasure of meeting and working with many refugees from Congo several years back. They truly inspire me and are still wonderful friends. The way they view life is much different than mine, but their souls and spirits sing. Great people

Appreciate this documentary 🙏
And I'm really really sorry about those people who struggling this thing.
Our brothers and sisters struggle really hard, life must go on, we are grateful to live in the beautiful country of Indonesia
There's one thing these documentaries are very successful at doing
and that is imparting the virtue of Gratitude.
I'm pretty much happy doing anything after watching these...
Watching this as a American and I’m beyond words, as there is no level of poverty anywhere in America on this scale. The spirit and heart of these people is inspiring and heartbreaking.
There are pockets of starvation across East Africa mainly every year, no access to water or food, living in squalid encampments. The people D.R.C and East Congo have nature's bounty on their doorstep, they might not live in luxury but for Sub-Saharan Africans they are doing reasonably well.
u say their suffering is for ur entertainment ?
Except for the absolute worst homeless, poor people in the US live in luxury by comparison
@@crescentmoon256 no you misunderstand
@@crescentmoon256 what? Who did you say that to?
"We don't control what happens to us, but how we react to it" As crazy stressful as it must have been, you had the right state of mind. One step at a time and figure out the way. After that long difficult road, almost out of the woods and then splash!You had the right mind and approach. Thank you for sharing, I hope you have smoother rides to come!! Take care!!
The sad thing is that this is the richest country in the world with all kinds of natural resources, but unfortunately, it is been exploited without even a cent benefitting the locals.
You are very correct but, the real situation on the ground is far beyond your thinking. There are hidden issues that people don't see.
No one said that life is fair
The resilience of these Congolese to overcome all adversities is something extraordinary. One can only admire Congolese.
The Chinese Government, the communists, and the Belt and Road Intiative are evil, despicable people. and ideas birthed from the paranoid, narcissistic sick man of Asia. Horrible. awful ideas by mental unhealthy leaders. The Congolese deserve better friends.
Agreed the Congan are the most resilient people on planet earth. 🧡🇹🇿 love from Tanzania
Looking at them, I remember that incident in India when one man built a road through a mountain...
Or how another person in Africa planted a whole forest himself!!
And many other examples when people start working FOR THEMSELVES! and get great results!
Why don't all the villagers want to get together and build a good road for themselves!!!????
NO! They are waiting for someone to come and do it for them, and INSTEAD OF THEM!!
Until they change themselves!! - And they will not change the structure of their society! - they will be doomed to live in poverty and all this shit!
I don't feel sorry for them!!!
65 years, no progress, just the rich take the money from all diamonds kobalt etc etc.... yet, they still say its the kolonisation is fault...
@@sleepmnan22sleepman50 Clearly you don't. It's their fault. Life will one day teach you a valuable lesson.
Seeing this, my heart goes out for my South Kivu people. I am Papua New Guinean, and my Fiance is from South Kivu Province... I feel your pain...PNG we have bad roads, but not as bad as this..
My deep respect to all of you who go through this day in and day out.
Praying for the Government of Congo to stop feeding aliens and making them rich...while your own people suffering in their own inheritance...
Praying for the rebels that they would stop their wicked activities and help build good roads for their people...or forever be slaves to the foreigners..
God has given you such a beautiful country with riches, your gold and minerals.. protect what rightfully belongs to you. You deserve to live good lives, travel on good roads..etc.
We be happy ur in America coz ur people hv stolen all our minerals in the picture of protecting us and not only that giving you a better life at our expense see whn I see u
Truly, mind blowing for lifetime jungle experience. Heartfelt thanks.
A good documentary. What initially started out as a casual 5 minutes view got my attention as the story unfolds. Glad i stayed till the end.
Only two things linger on after watching this:
one - Thanking God for the Blessings which we took for granted.
Two - a genuine wish that their situation would be improved and to get that road made so they dont suffer like this.
These Documentaries make me appreciate my Motherland Kenya. We really complain here about our Government, but it's after watching this that you appreciate what we've accomplished as a Nation.

I have been to the Kivu once. We went by airplane.
Believe or not; we were road cyclist and we were there to race in the tour du Congo.
This visit I will never ever forget. I have been around the world doing cycling races, but this trip is by far the most memorable.
I hope one day Congo will get what it deserves; its such a beautiful and impressive country.
Wow! Dangerous place for a bike race!

So much respect from Nova scotia Canada 🍁🙏🙏 you guys work harder then anyone on earth to make ends meet. The real soldiers of this planet right there. ❤️
Any employee in the world should be blessed to have you as a high salary members of their team if you wanted that in life. Not to mention the creations you guys have already come up with is incredible. Formal education has nothing on experience. And you my friends have more experience then most men left here on the sphere. 😎
I do online writing for Canadian students but since a friend came back I don't have an emt for payment. Can I use yours please.Thats the help I can ask for I am in congo
Grateful for absolutely every small thing, big things and everything in my life! Kudos to the entire documentary team. These people have probably the toughest life to live and still keep going. Hats off!! Huge respect and love
When one of them said: "Congo it's not a country for living, it's a country for suffering", I could understand his pain 'cause in my country it's very similar. Grettings from Colombia, South America.
you have internet man they dont know what is that
Historical Colombiana and Venez are original Congolese’s. Greetings from ur neighbor Tanzania 🇹🇿 we love you
Wah rekoso tenan dalame kang
Median income in Congo = $395 / year
Median income in Colombia = $3,300 / year
Take your income and divide by four and your counterpart in Congo still earns half as much. Pretty hard to imagine the struggle.
I've been to both bro. Although things in Colombia are far from the best they could be, DRC is leagues apart in terms of economic hardship. It really doesn't get much worse than the Congo.
A lot of respect for these people and the daily struggles that they face 😢
This is the hight of human evilness you’re watching. Congo supplies the America and Europe resources but no one out of grateful heart wants to help them. We are all selfish
I am touched when the guy said Congo is not a country for living, it's a country for suffering.
I have been there at 2007, l love the country, I wish her peace and rich.

My eyes are filled with tears by looking their conditions of living and May God ease their sufferings and and makes their life easir. We thought our life is bad but in compared to them they are dreaming to live a life like us. These people are honest, brave and Very grounded to earth...hats off to them
hmmm, I appriciate your empathie but afterall who says these people are not happy. from my perspective apart from the mining village, congolese people live sometimes a very fullfilled life full of real relationships. I am certainly more isolated than that village living in zürich.
The Congolese are happy yes but as a result of resignation and adaptation to condition you have no control over.The world should move at a pace set by modern standards but many who still scramble for the resources in the congo can not allow a change in this country
They're in middle of the rainforest where humans don't really belong. Sadly, life is inevitably going to be super tough.
We complain in life about small things but great respect to these people for what they are facing is really unimaginable
Your journey is truly extraordinary. The driver's persistence in passing this road is transportation's struggle to facilitate the distribution of goods belonging to the community.
Roads like this are rarely found in my country, of course because the government really pays attention to them.
This video was a year ago, hopefully it will be good now.
The roads only gets worse with time. I live in Eswatini and I can attest to that fact. Nothing ever gets better.
اللهم اغفر لنا ذنوبنا، واشرح لنا صدرونا، ويسر لنا أمورنا، اللهم ارزقنا راحة البال، واسعدنا ولا تجعلنا من الأشقياء.
that man said, "it's not a country for living it's a country for suffering". I nearly feel out of my seat. Homie is keeping it 100%.
Places like this really put the world into perspective.
Praying for the people's, hope one day locals will stand for their betterment independently,,love and respect from India 🙏
These are great life changing documentaries. I watch these with my kids.
One of the most resourceful rich lands in the world and the main everyday people that live there are in harsh conditions. Smh. Salute to these people ! And salute to you guys for making this documentary !
Rich conty bt poor contry
First and foremost, my truly appreciation to the crew who spent their toughest nights and days physically and mentally in order to show us the true " hell on earth ".
This document must have been watched by the United Nation for an immediate action and or sanctions internationally to those who made their own citizen so hardcore. I was so freaking frustrated when seeing a mom caring her baby sitting on top of the truck travelling a helluva long and dangerous over the course of the trip.
I wish they would secure the real leader who can be a game changer for Congo, this is what they needed. Subscribed.
Most of African countries are like this, but I have to admit that my country Botswana 🇧🇼, is one of them but to be honest our side it's better, our government tried their best there is free education and health, it's really better the problem is people of Botswana want to work in offices all of them, they left the cattle posts and crop fields and went to the city, 😢

Nice documentary. Thanks.

I Salute these Peoples for their dedication ,Courage , hard work and patient. I prey for them that soon God give them a nice beautiful road.....
I hope they get relief from their suffering. All humans on earth deserve better.
Omg! 1-3 weeks to go just 43 miles. Where I live we do it in 45 minutes. I pay for these tough and resilient people. May they have good health and happiness!!
right? I just drove 300 miles in 6 hours over mountains and all. It was nothing compared to this. At work I fuel and grease heavy machinery in remote locations, I have fun driving the muddy roads but what I do is a joke compared to this.
43 miles takes that many days wow, these guys rock 👏👏
I Really Appreciate This Documentry ❤
This is for real , seen it with my own eyes . These people are extremely tough. I learned to respect them . What usually kills ordinary people is everyday life to them . Appreciate what you have while you still have it .
Government officials are living in luxury while ordinary people are suffering.

they are superhuman..durable...their mentality is extraordinary...
Africans are hard working and dedicated people their will power is unbelievable so sad seeing them suffering these hardship.The African were once proud, rich and cultured people.I hope one day they will rise above these hardship and build a better place and return to the Top once again
in Congo, the very few are extremely rich and the majority are very poor.But the time I spent in Drc taught me to appreciate life and I fell in love with that country.
Swahili music is very pleasant...
What a wonderful place to travel to! The accomadations look natural and exotic. Perhaps this will be my next vacation destination.

After watching this I will never ever complain about being inconvenienced again.
Of course you will, and why not.
