Salt, Tears of the Earth - Go Wild

- Опубликовано: 23 янв 2014
- No creature can live without this magic mineral -- and no living organism can produce it on its own. Amoebas, algae or humans -- all life-forms are completely at the mercy of this simple chemical compound. In all bodies of water on earth, there is salt in abundance, and animals and humans have always been able to extract the valuable crystals from water -- directly through their organs or with the aid of evaporation in salt lagoons.

No black market smuggling, no child labor, no adverse environmental impact. Just honest work for an honest living. They ought to be earning more and living more comfortably for their toil.
And I happen to have a small bag of Bolivian salt in my pantry which I use sparingly for making Mexican and Latin American food. I will remember this video in deep appreciation each time I reach for the bag, and other bags of salt I have (Sicilia, Kiribati, Israel, and Japan).
These people work in harmony. The Culture. Music. Salt is a VALUABLE source indeed.
Resource
I love the music
This documentary really makes you appreciate some of the hard work from these other countries. All of that just to make a small living. The unsung heroes of salt, a vital resource.
*It shattered my heart just to feed their family they do this much toil... really they are super heroes for me.*
One of the best documentaries I've seen in a long time. Thanks for uploading this.
170lbs baskets of salt on their heads! Wow! I thank them because I couldn't do that! GOD BLESS THEM!
41:45 He's had enough of that llama's ddrama.
Lol
*Llol
I just love this. The music and the sights are so beautiful.
A amazing story about salt, happy salty life.
This is the most informative documentary.
We should honor these humble people ..,repeat their names and keep them in our hearts when we waste or begin to take our easy lives for granted. The children with the parents is something we can't relate to. Not all bad but not fair in our Western view of what a family is.
Gabriel, Valdemar, Filisberto...! 💙
God bless all those laborers working so hard to harvest holy Salt we take for granted.
Yeah...... bless them with a gods blessing. .
no salt from any of these countries makes it into the states, we have our own salt mines where we produce many many times the amount of salt that these places do.
Religion is a mental illness. =)
Maybe it's taken for granted because there's nothing, absolutely nothing holy about sodium chloride. It's a fucking compound found all over the universe! Batshit loons gotta get their proselytizing mumbojumbo crap in perfectly normal natural events.
The great Repugnikan war on science and truth is gaining momentum, dumbing down America to the point of using the Babble as a textbook like Chuck Norris Texass Jeezus science book burner bastard.
Absolutely incredible! I have never seen the mostly low-tech salt production process as conducted in these five areas. Nice to know that these workers still exist, though their's is not an easy life, by any means. I salute their fortitude and dedication. They must derive considerable satisfaction from their work or they wouldn't continue doing it. Many thanks to Secrets of Nature for producing this jewel. Great narration!
+DadsLloyd glad you enjoyed. don't forget to subscribe.
there is another element most of us don't take into consideration,
that is how dehydrated these men will be for days after and during, muscle cramps, headaches, and terrible thirst
@@philobetto5106 sooo much work. A capitalist would use machines to transport and dig.
One great video,,,thanks for sharing
Utterly spellbinding dedication to the cultivation of history, resource distribution & grounded passionate documentary making. I was in no manner prepared for the heart rending musical performance at 36:08. It is so beautiful yet tragic to know that hundreds of thousands of miners have worked & died for mankind to have survived, & to literally see their carved faces slowly diminish as their last remnant is taken by the mineral they were intertwined to is not only heartbreaking, but a haunting foreshadowing of our own counterparts.
What more can I say? Simply a must watch perspective on how none of us are in no way truly free to exact our destiny; for without Sodium Chloride, we are just as those statues are. Husks depleting in accordance with the chaos of nature, calling for its balance once more. Nasty, Brutish, & short lived. I shall never take salt for granted again.
Good documentary. The pan flute music was beautifully haunting. The entire film seemed sad in a way perhaps because those who work the salt fields have hard lives.
Respect for these hard working people, most of people today take salt for granted, as told in this documentary at one time it was like gold and money.
We should be thankful to God for providing salt in abundance.
My favorite scene in this documentary was of two very old ladies in the bus, so innocent.
All the people who have seen this documentary are at least better than people who waste their time in watching movie gossip. 🍟🍗
You can say such lovely things and the condemn your fellow man just because their tastes are different than yours.... have a thought of how you speak of others...
Religion is a mental illness. =)
We zijn deze broeders en zusters mensen veel verschuldigd, dank in respect aan hen voor hun zwaar werk en volhouden..de basis van bestaan ook voor de dieren..
Really enjoyed it. Very educational.
I have to go to Wieliczka, Portugal and Andes. Salty is my favourite flavour!
Fascinating! I've never seen a documentary on salt before, I really enjoyed it.
For those of you that might want more on this subject there is a "supremely entertaining" 2003 book by Mark Kurlansky--Salt: A World History. I should warn you, once started, you won't be able to put it down. It will keep you up at night. Thanks for the excellent documentary.
One of my favourite documentaries for some reason, maybe because it's so different from my life?
One of the bst evr documentaries i hav seen
if these fella needs new trousers he can look me up I'd be happy to buy him some
Fascinating ! ....."Salt Of The Earth".....the hard daily toil many people still have to go through..... It's good to be reminded now and then not to take things for granted...same with fresh water......which in some ways is more valuable than gold.......just one day without water is not very pleasant.......
Civilization rides on the back of domesticated animals. Yet we hardly ever show them any real care and appreciation. We own them, yet we think they should be ours to do whatever we want with in anyway we want. I hope anyone who abuses them comes back several times as one of them.
Very interesting video. Makes one appreciate the ease with which we get our salt.
Awesome. watched on a whim and found this so interesting - that bit at the end with the llamas? Holy hell! 42 day trip each way...? makes you think how all the things in your life you complain about aren't that bad most of the time.. Thanks folks! Subbed for more :D
I feel you... With labor like that... Many would appreciate what they worked for.... Many take for granted what they buy.
Well said..
You should watch the ones about little kids walking to school through jungles and mountains.. By themselves. Six hour trips made twice a week for weekly school. Dang some of us have it too easy.
Salt? llamas? what? 🤣
Excellent documentary....... Erm if it's surrounded by an "impassable ring" how do they get in... If it's "impassable" that means no one and nothing can get through.., (just a thought...lol)
fascinating
Sounds like a documentary done by the Moody Blues! Very Cool!
i needed this...marked as liked video...saved in playlist...
with gigantic humans...would loves to talk with anyone in the video ,,,theres so much bravery,humility,knowledge basic things we don't get in the best schools .. and the enchanting music mixing
enjoyed every minute of this wonderful video!
Wow - those guys running with the salt on their heads what balance! (22 mins). Makes any ladies' finishing school walking with books on her head look well, rather feminine after seeing them. Great documentary. Thanks.
@15:20 This is how one gets injured. Step away once it starts moving. Great documentary though.
I love this documentary. Watch almost every night as I fall asleep. I wish to go here someday.
try how to make cheese. They drone on and on and learn how to make cheese.
amezing awesome educationl informationl and hard hard hard work i salute thease peoples
Totally absorbing, simply magnificent. Thank you. Music a delight as well.
Worked a job at Morten Salt on the south end of the great salt lake in Utah
The word salary comes from the Latin Salarium, that is the salt amount payed to soldiers in the Roman army. I'm from Portugal, the salt I use is called "Flor the sal" that is salt flower, it is the purest and richest in minerals salt you can get, it is the top layer that forms when water starts to dry, nothing is added and it's a bit more humid than normal salt, it's excellent for cold or uncooked foods, and you use it in smaller quantities. it can also be used in grilled meat or fish, in this case you should sprinkle it after grilling The brand I use is from the south, in the Algarve province.
I directly react pure sodium metal with pure chlorine gas for my salt. YOUR impure dirt salt can SUCK IT
" that is the salt amount payed to soldiers in the Roman army. "- is actually incorrect. This is a misinterpretation of a note made by Pliny the Elder which is inaccurate, and has become perpetuated online. I discovered this online recently, on WIkipedia actually, who have sources to back up this info, if you don't wish to take my word for it. _ see the following link
"The word salary comes from the Latin word for salt. The reason for this is unknown; a persistent modern claim that the Roman Legions were sometimes paid in salt is baseless.[23][24][25]"- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt#History 3rd paragraph under history.
Don't perpetuate the misinformation! :)
Thank you! I will have to get some.
@@h4xo7 it is a understood bit of misinformation. Thanks for the correction.
@@bazookallamaproductions5280 impure dirt salt tastes better, I boil down my urine.
Just wonderful documentary!
Absolutely fascinating! I had no idea there were still so many peoples of the world who harvested salt in such archaic and back breaking ways for such small wages.
Haha that was amaaazing. Didn't expect that but SoN delivers again. One of best
Great program! Everyone should be required to watch this program! It's that Great!
SBF
Thank you, this was an absolutely fascinating documentary!
Thanks for the share..good one for RUclips.
Wonderful documentary. Thank you so much!
Those guys with all the salt on their heads must be super strong and fit to do that!
Great documentary. One little point: llama is pronounced 'yama'.
Enjoyed this very much!. Thanks for posting all your vids , they are all awesome and educating. subbed
I once read a book on salt as a joke. Was fascinating and a huge surprise
i once tasted ( SEA-SALT ) & can't tell the difference between the salt mined here in midwest USA in under ground mine in Kansas
@@chadsimmons6347 I can, the pink Tibetan salt of the Dead is my favorite 😍. Great big grains, and pink.
@@phyllisdevries5734 If i can, i will order some Tibetan-salt and make some margaritas, that may take my mind off...all this crazy stuff (thank-you)
salt is very cheap but it really takes a lot of work to produce.. this is so inspiring.. thanks for this video.. ive learned how to give value to simple things that are biggest to others..
Oooohhh that wind knstrjment in the beginning of the show was bad ass man!! Really really cool! I liked it!😳👊❤
Watch this, you will be pleasantly surprised at how much you will learn.......
Fascinating film!! Amazing what we take for granted these days!! The amount of back breaking work and old techniques i'm astounded by. Next time i buy salt i'll think about all the hard work that has gone into it for hardly any money at all.
Precious hard working people. Old traditional ways. They are the true meaning of pure salt collectors. May god keep gracing them with abundance of gifts so well deserved.
best comment award to you Angela.
very very enjoyable,never take salt for granted again
When you realize just how incredibly BLAND your food is without it, it's easy to see why we've been chasing the stuff for so long.
@@t_k_blitz4837 absolutely!
I cannot cook without it. nor do I want to eat anything without it!
I never add salt to my cooking
A truly amazing documentary! Thank you for making and uploading this outstanding film. :)
Great docu. Thank you.
The land of salt....!!
Wow. The way these guys produce salt is so romantic and beautiful.
Not if it’s the only way you have to exist, I’m certain they’d disagree.
Excellect documentary of one of the most important natural resource "The Salt" that helping to the population to get benefits in employing to the different ways as in the cuisine, built chapels of salts, etc. 🧂🧂🧂 Thanks for sharing. ❤❤
Great
magnificent vídeo thankyou
Think about this: that's the same Portuguese salt preferred by George Washington for preserving his fish.
No offense but that doesn’t impact or mean one thing or make any diff. To me ... I don’t
Care who in the past among the so called elite or ppl in power may have had things or used things , as being any selling point or relevant to my life. I appreciate wisdom and understanding and what can be learned form those in the past , but some particular figure or well known person doing whatever in such a way just doesn’t make me care or have any wow factor involved lol. Again. no offense. I get what you’re saying.
Where you’re coming form ,
Etc .. I just think in general , there’s a common theme among ppl where they concern themselves too much with what the rich , famous , so called elite do or say and keep up with it way too much ,
Trying to mimic every trend and mirror their lives after whatever lifestyle and behaviors or trends that these other ppl happen to embody or promote and at the end of it all , there’s Alwyss this mentality among ppl to wanna do as whichever celebrity or whatever.. not at all saying that about Your comment or you personally lol. It just got me thinking bc it’s of no significance to me .. unless it’s something the lord calls us to do , be or focus on and spend our effort doing or put our hearts on , I don’t care what the world does .. other than , as I said , there’s value in wisdom and of course also , having respect for those who are our elders , to pay attention to their wisdom .. but outside of that , it’s no significance to me what Washington or anyone else so falsely glorified within history books may have done .. seems like an awful expense and effort to obtain something that didn’t readily come from areas indigenous to tne area he resided .. Perhaps ppl didn’t care about whether things were sourced from other countries and regions in that time, as trade was often beneficial among ppl internationally. Now , However , it’s not well received , not should be living in excess as these typical self serving ppl in positions of power or authority or among the over paid and attention seeking celebrities, as they all promote horrible examples while benefiting off status and money and the ppl who just idolize them and coddle their every move.
No offense but this is a informational, and enjoyable documentary. Seeing these people continue the work that many generations have worked.
I love salt it makes food good.
@@breAnnasmama take a chill pill!
best channel on for documentaries
+Ancientpeople thank you. hope you enjoy all the films!
I loved this story of the different salt Harvest .
Thank you for the tale of salt.
Some put sticks in the ocean and let them sit. At end of season harvest the sticks and scrape off the salt.
feels like your watching a wes anderson movie
i love the documentry how ever those railroad tracks scare the hell out of me im amazied they are evan usable in such a state at some point i am sure they will have to be replaced
What's the music being played in the end?
Thanks for documentary..
Never take anything for granted as some people have lesser options than you.
tell it to Jeff Bezos and that Musk fellow
this is amazing!
Wonderful! Well worth at least one watch and I was just as captivated the second time.
+jane gertrude glad you enjoyed it :-). Look forward to your feedback on our other films!

What is the Bolivia soundtrack?
+QuitLife That is traditional Andean music shared with Peru, Ecuador, Chile and Argentina. Its a very nice music.
As a Swede, it's very neat seeing such an old Volvo bus ( @10:56 ) still being used.
As the old saying goes, they're worth their weight in salt, and so much more, very industrious workers, I tip my hat to them, what a fantastic production keep it up secrets of nature.♥️
VERY WELL
Thanks for sharing life with enthusiasm and passion nice video and history
amazing documentary , and in a way sad to , those people struggle and do such a hard work , and the reward is like almost nothing
It keeps them alive? 🤔🤔🤔
It's so common all over the globe, and people wonder why, some choose to spend their time, in more lucrative endeavors.
You can actually become sick if you don't have enough salt in your system. The same is true with too much salt in your system. There's a balance to be maintained.
and water is wet...plus all circles are round...also: everyone dies at the end of their life
Word
Meanwhile these workers are bathed in it and breathing it all day long. They probably have enough salt in their system to kill a horse.
@@MrSvenovitch Every 60 seconds in Africa, a minute passes
@@MrSvenovitch LMFAO!!!!! LOLOL
Love this documentary... 👍 Keep it up
best doc ive ever watched ...thanks!
Amazingly enough, you skipped the salt mines of the sub-Sahara.
hats off the the old salt lady
She instructs the men how and when to pour their loads
Amazing That much salt is there. They should get more money for doing that hard work.
loved it! My favorite part was seeing how the women melted the plastic bags closed using the hot rod.
Wow amazing watch life is beautiful when it is humble
An eye opening documentary. Thanks for sharing.
Best video I have found on salt production. The workers are amazing.
Salt rocks.
Those men are incredible and the work they do is back breaking. Great documentary
it make me cry
Don’t cry. You’re losing precious salt in those tears...
This documentary is dope shit. Thx 4 upload.
Wow... just wow... I'm in awe
Awesome documentary 👍🏾🇯🇲
I thought that this was going to be a boring subject, but I was so wrong LOL Wow, I had no idea how hard salt miners work around the world. I'm speechless by the methods developed by each country to harvest salt.
Exellent video! I just learned a lot of things about salt! I will never ever take salt for granted! I didn't realised the huge amount of work involved in harvesting salt in some of these places. Beautiful scenery as well as great soothing background music, I truly enjoyed this video!
Excellent! Thanks to the entire team!
