Most Dangerous Ways To School | OIMJAKON (Russia) | Free Documentary
Ойын-сауық
Siberia. Endless vastness - arctic temperatures. Even farther East than Japan and 5 000 kilometres north of Vladivostok lies Yakutia, the coldest republic of Russia. Yakutsk is the capital of the Yakutia republic and is located about 5100 kilometres east of Moscow. In the midst of it: Oimjakon. With its 500 residents the coldest inhabited place on earth. This village lies in a mountain valley on the upper reaches of the banks of the Indgirka River. One of the major reasons for the freezing temperatures is the great distance from the Atlantic Ocean and the humidity that the Ocean provides to a major part of the Northern Hemisphere. Masses of mountains shield Siberia against the warm air from the west and south, while in the opposite direction, the door to the Artic stands wide open. Thus in the winter, cold masses of air expand into the Siberian landscape completely unrestricted.
The average temperature in winter: Minus 40° Celsius. The children of the Siberian Oimjakon have the world`s coldest way to school. The extreme living conditions are completely normal for the residents of Oymyakon. This is also true for the Tariks family and their son Aljosha. He is 8 years old. The children of his age group are only excused from attending school on account of the cold at temperatures below minus 54° degrees.
Even before his departure for school Aljosha feels the grim cold. Lacking running water the house also has no bathroom. So Aljosha alredy has to go outside - to the unheated outside earth closet in the garden. Sascha’s mother cooks tea. In order to do so, she must go to outside to the front of the house, which is made of wood- as all houses in Oymyakon. Due to the great temperature differences here, concrete walls would soon crack and be destroyed. In the short summers, it can get quite warm in Oymyakon. In front of the wooden house the ice blocks are stored. The next-door farmer had cut out of the frozen river for them. There is no running water in the Pole of Cold, with temperatures dropping to -65 degrees Celsius; no pipe work has a chance. Aljoshas mother puts the ice in the pot and cooks some tea for her son.
Like every day, Aljosha must get ready to go to school. Like the majority of the other students, Sascha wears for the most part his traditional dress. The clothing prescribes to the onion-peel principle in order to protect the students from the Artic temperatures. His mother Irina has heated up the living room to 20° degrees. So when Aljosha opens the front door it is 70° degrees colder - every day life in Oimjakon. As soon as the children open the dormitory’s double doors, the icy cold brutally grabs hold of them. Within less than one second their nostrils become frozen.
Unlike the students in other parts of the world, the children from Oymyakon are seldom playful but instead very concentrated on their way to school. With quick steps, they travel in groups, attempting to put the 2 kilometer route behind them as quickly as possible. There are no signs of snow ball fights. The don’t spend a second of time watching the cows, which are kept up to nine months of the year in their stalls, and are now coincidentally being lead out of the barn for a drink. Even though the cows are wearing some sort of special “bras” which protect their udders from freezing.
Once in school building, Aljosha and the other students remove many of their layers of clothing, and get going with the school lessons. For the majority of them, a welcome diversion from the coldest inhabited town on the earth.

Hello FD! I am a fan of ypur documentary but this is only in Nepal. I wish all the countries you featured get a help as well especially Nicaragua. Nicaragua needs the most help because they have the tightest budget when it comes to education, so much so that when you see the school where Ms.Miller taught there is only one classroom for ALL GRADE LEVELS, dilapitated classroom, no papers and pen, etc. While I live in the Philippines, and there is a documentary as well, we have a luck in government because the budget always prioritze education and the girl with her schoolmates who also goes with her on the pangpang in the documentary only needs a bicycle so that she can go to the school without going to the pangpang (cliff).

Hi, I am Sayana from Yakutia (Siberia) Oymyakon 10 years have passed since the creation of this documentary. And also how I study at this school. I'm finishing school this year. There are no big changes in the school. Our bus is old and needs new. We study together with Alyosha. In high school, we still study even at -54-60 ° C. If you are interested, the bus driver Grigory is retired. I have read almost all of your comments. I don’t know English very well, so I use a translator to read your comments, but I don’t have time to read everything to the end. Because in the village, the Internet often disappears and works very slowly. Glad you liked the documentary)

Okay, I live here, in Yakutia. It was absolutely normal to go to school when it was -50 degrees. In my village I had to walk to school for half an hour. But road was fun cuz I gathered all my friends and we went to school together. And about buying new school bus - you all are very generous, buy not every vehicle can survive in our temperature. Bus in the video is made in russian car factory so it is suitable for our Republic. Most of foreign cars (from Japan, Europe and etc) doesn't survive in our cold weather without proper modding. P.S. Drinking water made of ice cube from local lake is the best water I've ever tasted. I was blessed to drink it while I was a kid and lived in a village :)

After watching the video with family and friends, they understood what our daily life was during winter, it's a game of survival. I hope to one day return back home to show my wife in person how beautiful Oymyakon is during spring. Congratulations on passing the ЕГЭ exam.

I like to return to my hometown during the wintertime, It’s frighteningly cold in Yakutia when winter temperatures plummet to -50°C, but I’m just grateful that I grew up in this unique place with an amazing nature that’s all around us. I love winter and I always missing breathing cold and fresh air. After all, something about winter just sends off that vibe, the vibe of closeness, love and true meaning of life.

I watched this video as part of my school project on education and minorities. In my opinion, it is especially important to cover such videos in the school program in order to broaden the horizons of students and highlight those problems that are really urgent. Before I watched this video I didn’t really think about the problem of education but after, I am looking out for this! Also, after I checked a lot of comments I am glad to see the main character of this video here after 10 years and this is very important, because from the Sayana’s comments we can see how situation in her region is changing. I am glad that I got acquainted with this video clip, it really makes us think about how important it is to understand the need for equality of educational opportunities for all people around you and how to contribute to this!

Far from a fairytale, Sophia's journey took her from a small village in the Philippines to an underground world of gambling, assassination attempts, and exploitation where she witnessed and experienced the darkest sides of humanity. A woman up against great odds, her family provided the inspiration for her to survive. Through her determined perseverance, intelligence, and trust in God, she was able to overcome her trials and turn the tables in her favor.

One startling aspect in this episode, among many others, is that if the temperature falls to below -54C then you don't have to bother going in because its too cold! And yet the temp outside of Alyosha's home is a mere -50C and therefore has to trek to school! Awesome respect to everyone who lives in that town. Certainly puts our pampered attitude to cold weather in the West into perspective!

I do understand how much time and patience it took to achieve such diversity of shots to assemble visually rich story in editing room. Btw is there information what camera was used for filming back in 2013? It has such a good dynamic range.
I have watched several of these. I have enjoyed everyone of them. This one touched me in a different way. all sorts of emotions went thru me. I cried, I laughed, I was right in there where they were. home or school or walking. I congratulate all involved in the making of these videos. Beautiful sights, beautiful children.

I did it with my kids, they never complained again. Then I sent them on an expedition with a map for three days in Upstate NY and let them have it (we was actually following them but we were not helping them if they went the wrong way and with pitching tents etc, they also wore trackers) and then brought them along to a trip in Iraq. Trust me, those children never complained about walking to school, not having the latest phone, not getting lots spent on them at Christmas etc... Call it old fashioned but as someone who was coddled in a boarding school for sixteen years and learnt the hard way with six older brother's, I took the total opposite approach with my own kids. Needless to say, it worked wonders on the kids :-)
