The Man Who Smuggled Himself To The UK | Full Documentary

Ойын-сауық

Some stories are stranger-than-fiction. This is one of those stories...
This documentary follows the story of two men who stowed away in the wheel-well of a commercial jet to illegally enter the UK and the Film-maker, who obsessively sought to find out who they were, and why they did such a thing. His search takes him across the globe and results in a discovery that is both heartbreaking and heartwarming.

    As an African, it pains me so much to see what the young people are going through. Many are dying in the seas trying to get away from poverty. Yet Africa is endowed with many riches, natural resources. Thank you for your humanity, thank you for going through a lot to bring the story of the guys whom almost everyone had forgotten.

    After posting my comment, someone asked me if I was an FBI agent....... LOL ANSWER TO YOU ALL: I am not the modern-day Kim Philby. I would like to be like General Doolittle if I was born in the USA. I am not an American citizen yet, but I am curious, resilient, and work hard. I enjoyed reading Thomas Paine and the great work of James Madison. Here where I am now, I visit and help some US veterans. Many people helped me while traveling. By the way, I enjoyed watching the movie Catch Me If You Can. You have to plan, prepare, and execute well. Sorry English is not my native or colonial language of usage.

    Dear Rich, you are a good human being. We need more people like you. I am touched by this story. We usually just read headlines of people going through tough times as they look for a better life. Their stories are never told, To many, they are just statistics, but you, go beneath the surface to find the human beings behind those headlines, and you tell their stories. I remember reading the story of a young man who fell off a plane in UK. I did not hear any more about him. He was just another someone smuggling himself into a foreign country, but now, I know his name, his wife, his daughter, and his friend. Thank you for taking time to carry out research on this story, on the real person behind the story. Keep reaching out, keep educating us, we need it. Thanks again.

The desire for a better life, enough to risk challenging possible death and possibly not seeing your family again had to be a painful choice. In the end closure has finally been obtained because of your passion and drive to bring closure. May God bless you and your heart. For his daughter and wife, I pray that you will live on successfully and bountifully blessed, lastly for Themba, peace and blessings, live on my Brother!

    A young orphaned man at his wit's end, in Extreme poverty, with Desperation for a better meaningful life, and a Lack of any support, role models, or opportunities, seeing his friend already 'making it' in the Netherlands makes him want to fight more, pressure to provide for his family, etc the list is endless, he had a thousand reasons to get on that plane and risk it all for his future if he survived we would probably not be here talking about him, but in the end, it would have been worth it coz his friend made it (even though he got disabled). Was there a better option for them? I don't know but you haven't walked a mile in their shoes, would you really even dream of being in their shoes in the first place?

    What a wonderful, touching, and deeply absorbing documentary! After watching it, I had to sit silently for several minutes pondering deeply about what I had just watched. Two men trying to escape from unendurable poverty and hardship decide to smugle themselves from South Africa in the wheel cabin of a gigantic plane, freezing nearly to death; one of them suvives even after falling more than a thounsand feet to the ground, but the other dies. Is it fate or destiny, or some other inexplicable agency that Hindus call Karma that protected one, but not the other? Is his survival a form of miracle? I wonder. I am also deeply astonished that the UK government compassionately granted him asylum. This doesn't happen often. We need more documentaries of this type; not mindless documentaries that pass off as enertainment. Thank you very much for uploading this video. Yesh Prabhu, Bushkill, Pennsylvania

    Actually, the survivor didn't fall thousands of feet. He fell out of the wheel well onto the runway after the plane landed. What I find amazing is he did not suffer brain damage after being in a very low oxygen environment for so long. Possibly, because he was at such a low body temperature and was asleep/unconcious, and in very dry air this helped him survive. I think the burns on his arm are from hydraulic lines which he had wrapped his arms around, and it is fortunate for everyone onboard the plane that he didn't damage those hydraulic lines.

    This is the stuff that crack investigative journalists are made of. I'm personally proud of you for your uncommon zeal to get to the bottom of this tragic incident of a human being falling off from a plane over the British sky. Whilst watching this documentary, I saw the desperation of humans trying to escape the poverty trap occasioned by poor governance and lack of care of their countries' leaders. I also noticed on your part determination commitment and empathy. I'm happy you were finally able to bring some level of closure to this incident after 5 gruelling years of investigation. Kudos man! AN APPEAL: I want to use this medium to appeal to @Afrimax TV and other public-spirited organizations and individuals to please come to the aid of the widow and daughter of the deceased in this story. We can start a gofundme to raise money for the family so that all his struggles and eventual death will not be in vain. Thank you

    After posting my comment, someone asked me if I was an FBI agent....... LOL ANSWER TO YOU ALL: I am not the modern-day Kim Philby. I would like to be like General Doolittle if I was born in the USA. I am not an American citizen yet, but I am curious, resilient, and work hard. I enjoyed reading Thomas Paine and the great work of James Madison. Here where I am now, I visit and help some US veterans. Many people helped me while traveling. By the way, I enjoyed watching the movie Catch Me If You Can. You have to plan, prepare, and execute well. Sorry English is not my native or colonial language of usage.

    Back in 2011 the same idea crossed my mind, after gradiating from university and the 'torture' of looking for a job started, the entire process here is so dehumanising, it takes away everything that defines humanity, Africa is a 'theater' a continent were majority of waiters and waitresses has gathered to witness the minority of dinners feast on a dinning table and we are made to watch and feel 'hunger redefined' by such moments. Canada was my prefered destination, my little research inforned me that South Africa and Canada adopted a similar Constitution, so since i studies law i knew i could maybe secure a job and survive in Canada.
