Liberia: Endless Rains | Deadliest Journeys
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 июн 2024
- From the first images, the director immerses us in hell. Downpours, crossroads and flooded villages, population drowned in torrential rain, overflowing sewers. We're in Liberia. Here each summer the rainy season is one of the strongest in the world. In a few days, a fatal rain worsened the difficulties of this country ruined by a devastating civil war. An avalanche of water ravages all the dirt roads. The villages are cut off from the world. Despite the condition of the roads, FOFANA, a money-obsessed Pick-up driver decides to take penniless passengers across the country through the jungle. This trip against the natural elements quickly becomes a nightmare and reveals the terrible living conditions of Liberians. With prodigious ingenuity, each tries as best he can to get out of it. The misfortune of the floods brings happiness to those who help the victims in exchange for a few cents. The pastors of a Baptist church turn Mass into a lucrative raffle ... Soon the director reveals in this incredible film the dramatic reality of a bloodless country. Thousands of children break stones from the age of 5 to "rebuild the country". At the risk of their lives, employees of a multinational palm oil company are transported to the plantation in overloaded cattle dumpsters. For a pittance, crushed by the sun that has finally returned, they plant thousands of palm trees on their confiscated and devastated land ...
Director: Philippe Lafaix

I am a Liberian currently studying in Germany. I went through more than this but I can tell you definitely, the children will succeed in life
This is the African story
Where do u live now bro?
😊@@musamfofana8329
How will the children succeed?
Wow, it's a tough life . These people are really brave to say the least . God bless them. Young boys/girls around the world should watch this video or be shown in School.
Why have more than 2 children with no future.
Shut up@@Patrick-yh5yd
@@Patrick-yh5yd because a lot of them die
@@MrAsddasdasdawhy does that matter they have nothing to leave them nothing to help them nothing if a lot of kids die that doesn’t mean have more backups for some weird reason these people are completely fucked in the head to have 8 kids when you literally can’t even feed yourself that’s evil
Unbelievable ....even filming this was a heroic undertaking .
I felt so much pain for those little girls and mothers crushing stones 😥These families deserve some hand and help from government or NGOs. Mr. Narrator, good job. I hope to reach those kids some day, and support their education. Johnson Sirleaf and George Weah could have done more, but again I am aware of the challenges a country like Liberia faces after decades of war.
Adopt one through Adopt a Child and pay for their education. It is the right thing to do.
@@hendrikdebruin4012 Well noted, and thanks!
@chrisogonas that ain’t our problem those people are the foundation builders of their country if they had an actual social society with a non corrupt government then those exact same people would be making 1200$ a month its not our problem it’s their culture’s fault
@@tonytokyo9669 I think you are either mischaracterizing the problem or simply misunderstanding the problem. This is not a cultural problem. Yes, perhaps I can agree corruption has lots to do with it, but there is more to it. There is corruption in America, and many other countries you may consider successful, yet they still manage to address critical human needs like education, health and general basic infrastructure. And while all that may be true, it is no reason to take the convenient road and dismiss or condemn the victims of such failed systems. FYI, many of these countries are failed due to systemic interference and sabotage by the so-called developed nations. You must blow out the scope of your perspective in order to properly contextualize the issues at play. I do not think anybody is calling you to do anything or change the entire country. It is a choice for the willing and if you are unwilling to do a thing, then get out of the way; leave alone those who want to demonstrate leadership and lend a hand to those in dire straits. Just purpose to change the lot of one if you cannot do it for several, but even if you can't do it for anyone, then do it for yourself. Rise up and lead wherever you are. It is not your problem, but it is someone else's problem. We need more leaders, NOT saboteurs. I rest my case!
@@tonytokyo9669 Nope. I live in Eswatini - ruled by the last reigning king running an entire country. Skilled workers who went to college to learn shop floor skills earn 30$ per month that is 1$ per day. The cost of anything is the same here as in any other country where people DO get 1200$ per month social support for doing NOTHING AT ALL. NO ONE - not even school principles earn 1200$ per month here. You do not have the faintest idea what you are talking about. BTW name just ONE country with a non corrupt government - just ONE will do. Dream on you live in a world that you know nothing about.
Those children overworked and the tragic loss of the rainforest is the most heartbreaking thing
The worlds forests and oceans getting depleted.
So?@@Patrick-yh5yd

I really love this narrator, love all of his documentaries, thanks for all your hard work...👍
I've tried to find out who he is but no luck so far..
His voice alone is something else. Very lovely voice
@@abubakaryusuf5211and he is also funny
Toni Comiti
He is so cute in narration.
He works on a certain tv station in France mostly he is heard on African news stories
These documentaries changed my mind, my thoughts totally. Now I understood what is hard work and tough life.
Watching the challenges that these people face makes me even more thankful for all that I have. I think this experience would definitely have a positive effect on the lives of children in the US and Canada.
The children in the US and Canada would not last one day breaking stones in the African sun. They are a bunch of entitled softies. No wonder so many of them turn out bad apples. Here in Eswatini where I live children of age 6 walks up to 30 km per day to attend school. Without proper clothing, supplies or food.
For me, it is more than just being thankful. It makes me to do more charity, as much as I can.
@@slickperspective2745 I earn very little at age 67. Yet I have 5 foster children here in Eswatini that I am giving a chance in life. We must ALL do what we can or the world will become worse as a collective. And we ARE a collective even if we do not want to admit it. I admire you for whatever you do for those that can never repay you. That is the true mark of a balanced viable human being.
Thankful enough to actually have a heart and go help them? Or deman the millionaires or billionaires to help them. They could fix all those countries right up
@@alandodson6207 As we see the mentioned fortunate rich in the USA are pedophiles mostly. They will only help them selves.
What saddens me is that this documentary was taken more than 10 years ago, but the roads are still the same.
That bridge builder still needs new shoes.
We need this kind of documentaries to remind us how lucky we are with the little we have, instead of complaining. May God bless those kids whom are crashing the rocks. A kid is supposed to play and go to school. Not to work at the age of 5😢 …
It breaks my heart that many people on my continent are still go through all this.
We should give money to fix the males so no more babies.
What are you going to do.
your own people do nothing to help out only rappers can buy gold and diamonds
They contribute to the fked up state but cry to the west for help.
Stop trusting Chinese and other foreigners. Africa has many resources, the problem is corruption.
Watching this makes me appreciate how Kenya has good roads.
And relatively good life, I mean people are suffering but at least not this much...maybe in the remote areas
Even remote areas are improving because of county government s
That pastor had me dying. The narrator even made it funnier. Lol
To our resilient African brothers and sisters in Liberia, to my little girl who is working hard for her meal, to the tenacious women enduring days of mud-covered paths to make ends meet, your struggles resonate deeply. Please receive my heartfelt support in these challenging times. Together, we can overcome adversities, and I believe in the unwavering resilience within each one of you.
It’s sick she had 8 kids in complete poverty and they are forced to work at 5 years old and I’m sure there are younger kids there it’s not something good it’s stupid these people are stupid if you want a kids and are fully poor that’s a bad idea but 8 no that’s evil to the core that’s an awful mother just as much as the father they are both awful guess that’s why they had 8 kids
@@bradthackston5217 Having the option to not have children is a great privilege many people in the West take for granted.
@@bradthackston5217 you are Soo privileged you think for them giving birth was an option huh?!!!
The Best comercial of TOYOTA off road car. Toyota cars will stay with you till the end of the world.
Yeah
I can get tired of watching this channels it's absolutely entertaining and educating documentary, this is the fourth time I'm watching this,I really love this channel.watching from Nigeria 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
'can't'
L'Afrique est une colonie de l'Europe depuis des centaines d'années.
La même France pompe les ressources des pays Africains .
C'est votre faute dans le fait qu'il y a une telle vie,mais pourquoi ne pas en parler dans un film.
I keep doing the same thing, very interesting
@@NRATYU You cant blame Europeans for all yor problems. China was occupied by Europeans and exploited but they managed to become big and powerfull in less than 50 years, so why can't Africa do the same??
Les reporteurs vous faites un travail remarquable merci infiniment à toute l'équipe
That girl at 11:30 is heartbreaking. I have a 5 year old daughter who is a spoiled brat and has no idea how good she has it. It's hard to imagine living a life like this. No child should have to live like this.
@@Julia-nl3gq no it's definitely my fault she is a spoiled brat. I'm not denying that 😂😅😅
@@Julia-nl3gqBrilliant reply! 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Have to admire the resilience and ingenuity of these wonderful people. God be with you all.
They aint lying this are the best documentaries
Watching the children work breaks my heart
I really like the documentary so natural and authentic.
Thank you, I tired telling a friend about this country, after he watched this video everything is much clearer now.
This documentary was created more than a decade ago
I’m a Liberian living in Monrovia
Wow... as a Liberian myself, I really feel hunted by the suffering my people suffered in the past and continue to experience butmost especially the narrator's phrase - "the country is destined to be abused.
You can see the despair in the eyes of the family living in an unfinished house flooded with water
If this is not a movie, the Liberia and Africa in general still have a very long way to go
Corruption is the main reasoning most African nations are still poor even with enormous ressources
@@fouadbenrezzak8398Nope, the common denominator is much simpler than corruption! 😂😂😂
Some one could name the LUMBER COMPANYS owners for start
@@michaelheery6303 Nope, it’s not Socialism!
The common denominator is blackies! 🤣🤣🤣
The struggle never ends, if it’s not too much rains, it’s drought which leads to water crisis 😥
This is heartbreaking! The resilience of these people is amazing.
Merci Mr Lafaix et toute l'équipe vous nous avez mis les points sur les "I"
Le développement n'a rien à voir avec la religion
Les gouverneurs des pays pauvres leur dernier souci est le peuple
L'ignorance accentue la misère des gens
En fin " dieu merci pour tout ce que tu nous a donné" 💕
Poor people should STOP having so many children. One per family unit is ample.
It doesn’t help that the Pope constantly goes down there to these poor countries in Africa and tells them that God said, “be fruitful and multiply,” so they keep multiplying! 😂😂😂
If you have one kid and he dies you are fucked, if you have 8 kids and one dies you have 7 left
Brilliant documentary narrated by the greatest of all I've watched this twice and it's a fascinating insight into the lives of some truly knarly folk, cheers.
my father lived in Liberia as an American peace corps volunteer in the 70s. He said the people and the culture were great, but there was so much corruption and other problems. For instance, he said there were the 1% who lived in air conditioned mansions (who were either pastors, government ministers, or major business owners), and the rest lived in squalid huts. He himself lived in a hut and gave most of his meager peace corps pay to help folks in the village. Aid workers who came to the country also lived the high life. He said that there was a government campaign then to get the men to work, saying that women should not have to do everything. He noticed many men didn't do much during the day and relied on the women to do all the hard work. As for infrastructure, the government would come in and build new roads, put in no drainage, and the road gets washed away in the rains. As a bearded, white clothed white man he was accused of being everything from the CIA to Jesus reborn. He got to meet and drink with the men who would later sack the government and begin the civil war. He often thinks of and worries about his Liberian friends, who he fears likely all died in the civil war.
That’s very interesting. I have a friend from Liberia that tells stories of peace corp volunteers and of the war. He was born in 1958, so would’ve been a teenager in the 70s.
Amazing documentary and voice-over!
Kudos
I was in Liberia in 2007 for a peace keeping mission, I'm a Nigerian Army special force
What are we suppose to do with this information?
I love this documentary. Watched several times.
The translation from English to English is excellent.
Ahhh it’s him again … good narrator
Stop the shenanigans of repeating english for english just because of accents
I cant understand the accent
Thank you they did the same thing for the Sierra Leone one
Just put subtitles in case
I agree, they speak very good english and the narrator talks over them and says different things. Quite annoying. Why did they not just put subtitles i don't understand.
Hvala za prevod😊❤👍lp
Excellent documentary from you guys
And a great advert for Toyota - those trucks can deal with anything 😀
The pastors😂😂😂😅😅😅
Rain is a blessing to people liberia is blessed
Ya ALLAH HELP 5HESE PEOPLE THEY HAVE GOLD AND DIAMOND AND THEY CAN'T BUY 1 SANDALS 😢😢😢
Thanks for documentaries
SUCH INTELLIGENT THINKING, can't feed one kid, so why not have 7 or 8 more, brilliant.
I know. No birth control could be the issue
The less fortunate use kids as “insurance” or “more hands on deck” for the future. It’s nature unfortunately and probably the only option they have, factoring in infant mortality too
Really enjoyed this documentary. On one hand it shows how important good governance and infrastructure is but also shows how people can work together and overcome obstacles.
Makes you question why we have governments when the people quite well without them
@@RebelsInc969 This is pretty much the libertarian capitalist dream in reality though
I salute the people travelling in the vehicle and the driver who is driving the vehicle for taking life risk.all are brave people shame on officials and politicians for not doing anything to improve the road’s
Amazing documentry 🎄👍
Liberian girl you came and you changed my world 🕴🏼
Fofana aint 21 😂 yet he’s been driving for 10 years
these folk are amazing no matter the hardship they always smile
And keep making kids! 😂😂😂
@@horacecomegna335 Can not disagree lol saddest part is tho its for child slave labour
Best Documentary.
Incredibly well done, interesting documentary, I really admire this.
wow heartbreaking 💔 to see that 🥺 I wish these people be happy soon
Ces gens sont très courageux pour survivre...j'espère que leurs efforts ne seront pas vains pour eux et leurs familles...
Great watch , thanks!
It's crazy how so many people have nothing and others have much more than they could ever possibly need. But we don't ever think about that.
The village faces a complex and disheartening situation. Villagers are subjected to exploitation from various entities, including religious figures, unethical merchants, and corrupt politicians who prioritize the interests of foreign corporations. This exploitation creates a dire reality for the villagers, further compounded by the challenges of large families. It's a stark reminder of the hardships faced by vulnerable communities.
@@Julia-nl3gqyou made a good point
In my country the church is next after politicians .even offering of about a minimum $12 are set as minimum of being member .isee many people money in thousand being requested every week for useless project that never come .
Best documentary so car 😊
Prayers to them. The Children, all of them such hard working people. Breaks my heart to see, I am Cree from Moose Factory, ON Canada. Of the Moose Cree First Nation on the Moose River. Blessing and Prayers from me to all.
Kids in Canada and the US need to be forced to watch how kids really work hard instead of being able to play video games on wide screen tvs and then be rude to their parents
So you want to psychologically threaten kids by showing them how bad the conditions some people have to live in? Good parenting..
Yep. I agree
You and your generation created this world where also these kids live. So... Dont cry baby
@@dankslugyes
Not psychologically damage kids-show them how good they actually have it.
All these obnoxious kids in school promoting Hamas or safe spaces etc.
those kids need a cold hard dose of reality.
It's so weird hearing English being translated into English. 90% of the Liberian English I was able to hear was perfectly understandable.
Ya it’s kind of a hush hush racist thing that documentaries do when they have these types of translations
I needed the translation, i could barely understand their English
Yes, it's not used when the cockney accent is being used or the Scottish or Irish brogue, only with non whites.
Im indonesian dude but im still learning english, sometime i need to read to hear what are they talking about
I am indian I can understand most part of it
Very good video. Thanks❤
I love ❤️ the way you tell the story you're great my friend.😊
This is heart breaking
To the resilient individuals in Liberia facing the challenge of vehicles stuck in the mud:
In the face of adversity, your strength shines through. Remember that challenges are temporary, and with unity and determination, you can overcome any obstacle. Take heart in knowing that setbacks pave the way for comebacks. Reach out to one another, lend a helping hand, and together, you'll pull through. Your perseverance is commendable, and brighter days are ahead. Keep your spirits high, for every difficulty you encounter is a stepping stone towards a stronger, brighter future. You've got this!
lol they’ve got this?! They’re going through hell every second they’re alive. But yeah they got this!! 🤜🏻🤛🏼
They don’t have anything but are giving the little the have to the pastor believing that “god” will save them… how could they be so naive 🤦🏾♂️😢
This place doesn't need assistance it needs condoms and education on parenting, parents know they cant take care of kids yet have one after the other....
Do you think birth control and education are not some form of assistance? Do you think these things get done for free?
Liberia is the poorest
Country I have seen on RUclips 😮😢
Saw this already. Always replaying old stuff. We need new stuff. Bless that woman raising 8 kids by herself any way she can. Hope the father that left them has a miserable life
like buy her a bunch of condoms???
I thought this was a reupload
Africa should adopt the one child policy in order to break free from this grinding poverty
Merci pour le reportage
Why 8 children if you can’t look after yourself ???

“If I had to choose between a woman and money, I’d choose money”. Fofana is a wise man
Why not both, Giovanni ?
No way Fofana is 21...🤣🤣
I concur, African 20s😮😢
Yes he can't. And he's saying has been driving the truck for ten years ....meaning he had it by 11 ......not true
Great content and strong message.
Un des plus beaux et intéressant documentaire qui me donne envie de faire un tour au Libéria État voisin de mon cher pays la côte d'ivoire 🇨🇮😊😢😮
Without toyota trucks I think africa would stand still!
Foreal
What Africa needs is a generation of healing and building and if a outside country helps it can’t be outta greed if not that then maybe a group of individuals like engineers farmers doctors etc go and teach the people of the land how to use their resources to grow instead of funding wars. Like All the diamonds and gold sold for weapons by those warlords they could have built a giant gold diamond statue or pyramid or some other kind of tourists attraction they have the natural means to have the most beautiful lands in the world if only kind hearts can live amongst all for generations to come
China are doing amazing things in Africa, actually helping instead of just helping themselves like we do in the West.
Toyota must give us the secret behind the Toyota Hilux.
C’est du solide 👍
Africa is no joke 😢but not all countries in africa are like this though
All people have to do is watch documentaries like this and know why so many people are coming to America, because why would anyone stay in situations such as this and never get ahead in life! America isn't the country it used to be, but compared to others such as Liberia it's heaven, even though everyone has it rough they all seem to pull together when necessary(like when stuck in the Mud), unlike America because if your car/truck gets stuck on the roads the only thing one can count on is getting towed(most likely to a yard where you'll be charged to get it out)!!!
True. Countries like the US (and my country, Canada) are not as good as they used to be, but are still great countries. We have problems, but we have it good comparied to places.
Yes but sadly it’s only the rich from those countries who have a chance of emigrating.
Funny that an American basically formed Liberia into what it is today
Its so disgusting that Africa remains the hub of poverty and suffering despite its vast resources and potential! And you see our leaders in suits with big delegations and motorcades hoovering around Europe with sweet words as if they have made it at home! Shame
African leaders are corrupt. The world powers profit.
i was shocked on visit to GAMBIA....youth and people,with brilliant minds,and hardworking,living in poverty,whilst leaders sit in their mansions,and the u.n and diplomats wallow in luxury.....
@@user-mm6ps8cn8jpretty despicable
Pretty good trucks and the tom cats are exceptional machines
I enjoyed this documentary
They're very struggling people....😢
They are struggling because they are extremely greedy and same time dumb af.
I just like the commentary of this documentary. It’s resemble the commentary of a movie title “The God Must Be Crazy “ 😂. It’s a very good documentary. The church, the driver and the passengers, the family cutting stones for their living all make this work successful
Why do you let them be rude to you, you should be in charge of them not the other way around!!!

Eight children! What could go wrong?
Americans of African heritage can claim citizenship in Liberia if they wish to flee racism in the U.S. For some reason, though, very few take the country up on their generous offer!
I wish they knew how much they could prosper in such a country, with no infrastructure and basic business niches everywhere. With their American dollars, education, and exposure they would thrive and transform this place.
How long ago are we talking for our African heritage?
@@Fido-vm9zi Just don't argue about that, just leave come invest in Africa, you can be a dual citizen, we need capital here there's a lot to do, for example, I've struggled a lot trying to get capital to launch my food delivery startup which is totally different in terms of the idea behind it and I only need a little capital push and that's it. Now imagine if Black Americans could form a joint collaboration where they fund businesses and other projects, we would go far as a people. There's a guy called JT The bigga figga and he came to my country Kenya and did some great stuff for the artists here. there should be more of that...
@@Fido-vm9ziSince James Monroe was US President. Monrovia, Liberia is named after James Monroe who promised black slaves free passage to Liberia if they didn’t like living in the racist US. Not many blacks, if any at all take up the offer though for some weird reason! 😂😂😂
