Sierra Leone: The urgency to live | Deadliest Journeys

Ойын-сауық

00:00 The daily life of the inhabitants of Sierra Leone is far from simple, but its men and women are like the emblem of their country: the lion.
6:27 Blood Diamonds, the key to insanity
11:27 Driving with half a truck isnt an unusual scene
25:20 Work isnt easy even for kids
31:35 Setting off in the landmind of Sierra Leonne
37:50 Ebola striked another village
directed by: Sebastian Perez, Guillaume Lhotellier
Their will to get out of it does not fail. Despite the scourges that regularly strike them, Sierra Leoneans approach life with humor and an inexhaustible joie de vivre. Nothing stops the inhabitants of this small West African country. Theo, the sand looter, Vandi and his transport company, and Fatima and her seven children, fight every day to earn a living, delivering a real lesson in self-sacrifice and courage.

As kid growing up in two civil war from Liberia and Sierra Leone I never thought I was gonna make it out alive to see my people still struggling every day and night I just use it as motivation to continue doing good in life and never forget my upbringing.

    I went to school to learn warehousing and there was a guy in my class, Bubagar from Sierra Leone. He would study a course for 2 years, and then swap to a different profession. When I asked him why he does that, he said he wants to return to Sierra leone and teach people there the ropes and set up companies in order to help his country. Last I have seen on his socials he had returned there and started a few businesses and I assume he's doing well. He never complained, always studied hard and got excellent grades. I helped him through the years because his Dutch wasn't good but he would always pay attention to me and together we would get him through the tests. The mentions in this docu about them having a spirit like a tiger isn't a lie!

    I’m amazed on how durable the vehicles can be if you disregard all convenience/safety “tech” and just water down to pure mechanical workings. I know the drivers skill set and spirit helps but mechanically, majority of these cars and trucks are in worse condition than what you’d find sitting at a Copart lot next to a wrecked Camry and a X5. And yet these things keep moving, doesn’t matter how many questionable fixes it takes, what’s so impressive and important is that they still work as vehicles.

    Bull s... Kids you talk about are living in civilized country so they don't have to deal with that bs, being poor, having shitty hard life is not something you should celebrate and be proud of, people you see in those documentaries would act like kids you talk about if they were in theirs place. It's matter of perspective. Also if you ever been to any 3rd or 4th world country you would know that they don't even try to rebuild or make stuff better they completely given up on trying to do anything sensible. That's why they will always remain poor, it's completely different mindset to Europeans or northern Americans. Company i worked for tried to do business in Africa, it was literally impossible outside of RPA, no one wanted to do actual work, we signed up over 50 people to build our local HQ, guess how many shown up next day... 3 out of 50 and we were offering very good payment they simply thought we will give them money even if they don't do anything... Eventually company given up on Africa and double downed on Asia and Europe.

Hardly the right mix of circumstances for a country to develop itself!! Therefore, it is necessary to win that battle first!!

    Where I am living, the locals took the sand from the beach, this lead to coastal erosion which threatened the only road running up the coast for approx 25 km. The gov. in its collective insanity decided to solve this problem by installing many thousands of concrete blocks to form a breakwater. All good and well until you consider what concrete is made from, yes that's right, mainly sand and rocks, the sand and rocks were taken from the beaches a few km up the coast. I'll give you two guesses as to what the problem now is.
