crazy how most of the tough jobs r done mostly by men but still, they do not get the respect, attention and credit they deserve

I used to lift up to 250 to 300 pounds monday to friday, 6 AM to 3h30 PM with steel rods. I was about 175 pounds back then. I eventualy destroyed my back, insurance didn't cover it. It "wasn't related to job" My boss was also really cheap with P100 air filter, and those was supposed to be paid by the boss. P100 filter is made to filter concrete dust, and the lifespawn of those is '"change them once a week". So about 40 to 50 hours, but our boss was swaping those shity filter once every 1 to 2 months. I was working with those in my face, breathing really hard just to have enough air to stand still and do nothing at some point. Big respect to those guy's out there. I'm in Canada, law is supposed to "protect workers". It's not what those guy's in the video live's, but still, it sucks. Again, big respect to those guy's.

I never knew these goods were so hard to get ... I'll no longer take for granted how easy it is to access, when these workers go through so much to produce.

Wow! I am in tears watching this video! I have been complaining about my problems, being in long term care, and how bad my life sucks now, and then I watch something like this, that puts things in a whole new perspective for me! I have a comfortable bed, nurses and aides to take care of me, and a monthly disability income that is more money than these people make in a year, and then some! I had no idea that simple things like sugar and salt came from places like this, and can actually be a matter of life or death for the person harvesting it! I was literally opening my packet of sugar when they started talking about how it's made, and I had to stop and say a tearful prayer of gratitude for those that produce it. I just figured salt and sugar was made and cultivated with modern machinery. I had no idea it was dangerous to harvest and produce. And although I don't buy acai berries specifically, I know I've bought things with that ingredient in the mix; never knowing or thinking about how they were harvested. It made me cry even harder, knowing that those that literally risk their lives for these products get paid the least! Can you imagine living on just $6/day? Here, that is extreme poverty, and would not be survivable, whereas for the people who sacrifice their lives to make it, somehow manage to not only survive, they can provide for their families on it; albeit just barely. I wish there was a charity I could donate to to help these people. Either with actual cash or to buy them proper safety equipment, medical care, etc. I would definitely add them to my monthly donor list of charities I donate to. So the next time you eat something as simple as a seasoning, or something that is trending, take a moment to think where it came from, and who made it possible for you to have it. The next time you think you have it hard, because you can't afford some simple pleasure or luxury item, maybe research this video. I know I will definitely be more appreciative of what I have, and less likely to complain over truly stupid and insignificant 'problems' (that word also has new meaning and significance now). And I will never forget this video or how I felt watching it! I truly want to find a charity, or start one, to help those that risk everything, just to make my life a little more flavorable. Wow! Just wow! 😭😱😲🙏❤

The sulphur extracting ppl remind me of my grandfather. My hometown is from the province of china ceramic JiangXi. Up until my dad’s generation they were countryside ppl who farm. My family had more land because my grandfather used to be the 看窑人 which means the kiln watcher. And the result is that my grandfather has serious lung issues. My grandpa stopped doing it when he was 30 ish and went farming. I only really understands my grandpa’s job recently and when he had to undergo a lot of surgeries.

I've climbed Mount Ijen and I can honestly say that the trek isn't for the faint hearted. The mind blowing thing was when I got to the mountain peak at 2am, they were there mining sulphur, men in there 50-60s...I admire them so much.

I'm proud that my state and açaí has ​​been internationally recognized :)

I wish I was a C.E.O. of a big, rich company. I would hire all of them in the sulfur mine so fast, they would wake up a year later RICH. They are doing incredible, a$$-busting work there, which nobody should have to do. GREAT DOC you did here!

Because those guys make a lot of money and are highly skilled welders and divers. It is usually highly regulated by OSHA and NFPA and isn't dangerous like these are. A better mask or tank or dive watch mitigates risk. I just saw a chemical safety video where a welder died because he went alone, got lost and tangled up in cables. He created his own danger.

I've worked a few dangerous jobs (Lineman/Electrician, Logger/Arborist, now a Soldier/Mechanic). I think a major difference is while these jobs are very dangerous, you can mitigate the risks by working with good guys, having good gear, and watching out for each other. So while a screw up would cost you your life, the chances of it happening are pretty low because everyone cares about safety. And if they don't, on the civilian side I'd find a new crew ASAP, and on the military side, I'm the guy in charge of my squad, so I make them care. For the workers in this video, it looks like they have little to no control over any of the risks at their job, and I'm sure the sulfur and limestone miners will die of lung issues early in life.

Perfect aim is an understatement. How the hell do they throw them so clean?

It's not purely exploitative like you are inferring. The main reason they make so little is that most of the worlds sulfur is obtained as a petroleum bi-product. It's an unfortunate consequence, that this livelihood earns them so little for sacrificing their lives, but there is simply no reality where natural sulfur harvesting can compete with the petro-chemical industry. That isn't direct exploitation, as much as it is natural evolution applied at the economic scale.

Yeah, before the pipes were put in the smoke probubly was too spread out to make the big chunks of sulfur all in one place so who ever owned the volcano put the pipes in simply to guarantee the sulfur forms at a regular time and place. The logistics of actually removing the sulfur they left to the locals who they knew would go in the volcano to get it and since the company was the only buyer the people could sell the sulfur to they knew they would get it back. In reality these people are essentially slaves to the company but since the company doesn't officially employ them or force them to do the work they don't see themselves as responsible for them.
