Deadliest Journeys - Papuasia New Guinea : Your Money or Your Life

  • Опубликовано: 13 июл 2024
  • 00:00 Papua New Guinea is one of the world's last frontiers of adventure. In a country that still remains isolated from the rest of the world, roads are practically non-existent.
    02:02 The trucks carrying goods are threatened not only by bandits, but also by the Highland Highway, a road destroyed by traffic and weather.
    06:40 Drivers use betel, a drug that keeps them on the road.
    08:20 Potholes on the road damage the vehicles using it.
    13:46 Bandits block vehicles to extort money from drivers.
    17:05 Gérald Philippe, a Frenchman, has set up a number of businesses on the highway, including a brand of goods transport that delivers throughout the region.
    21:00 In one of the highway's villages, the arrival of drinking water is celebrated.
    23:00 For some mountain villages, airplanes are the only accessible means of transport.
    27:40 Back on the highway, the road comes to an abrupt halt in the middle of the jungle.
    32:08 To get back up into the mountains, locals climb into buses and pickups.
    36:52 Drivers are often stranded by damaged roads.
    39:18 Tribal warfare is a traditional issue in Papua.
    41:40 For drivers, the road is a constant source of injuries.
    46:04 Even in remote valleys, everyone comes down from the mountains for Christmas mass.
    Officially, there are only 700 kilometres of paved roads. The capital itself, Port Moresby, is cut off from the rest of the territory and is not served by any road system. It is accessible only by plane. This explains the importance of the Highland Highway: this road is one of the few in the country. It’s the biggest and, most importantly, the only one that provides a link between the towns and villages of the mountains with the coast. For the inhabitants of the highlands it is also the only supply route. However, this road is extremely difficult. It runs through the wildest and most dangerous regions in the country. It very soon gives way to increasingly deep potholes and a road surface that is either breaking up or has completely subsided. Landslips, mud slides, accidents… there are many dangers on the Highway. Truck drivers are also often targeted by armed gangs who hold travelers for ransom. Kevin has been making this trip for ten years. At the wheel of his imposing American truck he makes three trips a week to supply the town of Kundiawa. His boss? A French ex-pat, who’s been in Papua Asia for more than 20 years. This adventurer has made a new life in the heart of the mountains of Papua Asia. He owns several trucks and most of the shops in town. He has become a respected person in the highlands. They even call him “the lord”! And what lies under the ground in Papua Asia has whetted the appetites of major international mining companies. There’s an abundance of gold, gas and oil here, but most exploitations are in the deepest part of the tropical jungle. They have an enormous need for equipment. A number of experienced drivers regularly risk their lives in these forgotten regions. Such is Billy’s case. His mission: drive two giant plant machines to the Moro oil well. A testing journey deep in a hostile forest. Beyond the Highway: the jungle and the mountains! Most villages can only be reached by plane. Every year pilots lose their lives in the highlands. The weather is unpredictable and the airstrips barely usable. Most of the time they are slippery strips of mud. Antony, a young New Zealander, has been doing this job for a year now. It’s a high-risk occupation, but it’s also his passion. On the rare tracks in the country, the only means of public transport remain some old, beaten-up pick-up trucks. Their drivers pay absolutely no attention to safety standards. With his vehicle laden with passengers and supplies, Paul makes daily trips to the villages on Mount Wilhelm?the highest peak in Papua Asia?from the valley. Here, brakes and suspension get a severe testing! The least error means a certain plunge to the bottom of a ravine… It’s here, on the roof of Papua Asia, that Father Matthew lives. He’s a Papuan priest and he’s a unique character. On this Christmas Day he celebrates a huge mass before setting off on forgotten trails that only he dares to take. His destination? Villages far from anywhere where he must spread the good word. -

    Great video. I was in PNG for a couple of months in the late 80's, it wasn't as developed as shown here but was still quite dangerous although there wasn't as many guns as now. Every man and his dog had a machete tho'. I did a lot of trecking in the western highlands, saw some amazing sights, met some colourful and amazing people. I witnessed village/tribal battles but at that time they used arrows, machetes and spears which resulted in horrific injuries but fewer fatalities. There were some scary times! Glad I came across this video.

As an American I was absolutely respectful of the people and in turn they returned that respect 10 fold. The country itself is beautiful, thick canopy jungle with waterfalls. Lots of WWII history on that island with relics of WWII equipment spread throughout the jungle. I did what i could to help the local villages and native people.

    When we were in PNG we were meeting a bulk carrier as my hubby is a engineer. I told the driver from the airport it was my birthday and when we got to the hotel we were staying at. He turned to me and said” please madam do not leave here, it’s protected & if u leave it you will probably get killed. We stayed there all night and the next day we had to quickly leave as war had started. We were on a flocker plane & were taken to a island and the ship picked us up there. We had to get in a boat at night then climb the rope stairs to get on the ship.
    8 months later when we returned home from travelling around the world, while hubby worked. We heard about all the massacres that happened in Papua New Guinea only days after we left - it’s was heart breaking but felt safe back home….
    Now China has bought into there country and Solomon Islands They won’t want to cheat them and just use Chinese workers as these ppl are poor and hate being told what to do.

There is loss of diversity but western culture spreads because it is a collection of wonderful technology more than anything. Its easy to romanticize a culture that we are not familiar with but if 20% of your kids die before they reach 2 years old and masses of people die in a bad growing season, western culture doesn't seem so bad and that is why it spreads.

      It brings roads, access to medical professionals ,life to little Villages where you can buy the things that you need now, where before they probably have to travel some miles, but sadly, some that don't want to assimilate have to rape, kill, and extort from those who work hard to make everybody's life easier, like a tree falling in a very strategic place in the middle of the road, but a few truck drivers can't get together and move it themselves,no, the locals have to do it for you.... at a price. the scary part was when the guy said: " at least we don't rape the women like they do in that other area" and the police are definitely getting a little piece of that pie too, sadly

      Daniel Detweiler - The tree was not felled to block the road. PNG is a tropical country with high rainfall and landslides are common in the higlands. In this picture the tree that blocked the road is as result of the landslide that brought the tree with it. In such case those who live close by cut the tree and clear the road for passage but some fees are charged and collected from the road users for the labor put in. If the trees were felled intentionally to block the road, the police personell that were on the ground will be in action. Policeman looked on meaning the tree came onto the road by landslide or simply this is a stunt for the TV crew filming this.

South pacific is after New Zealand. Way off. Learn the georgraphy properly. Don't shame urself with what u were brainwashed by the west.

      PNG is part of Oceania. Australasia is a region of Oceania comprised mostly of Australia, New Zealand, Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia. Asia ends with Indonesia. I am not defending the definition. E.g. Indonesia is a bit obscure, simply not just defined by tectonic plates.
      I think you should learn geography yourself before insulting other people.
      Personally the issue is not the fact that Asia as you claim is being divided but rather the nonsense of how a large swathe the entire world gets categorised simply as Asia (comprised of India, China, central Asia, East Asia, Middle-East, Southeast Asia), but little Europe gets their own continent lol.

    • @cathodelite

      & when did oceania was to be known by them? When australia & new zealand don't know where they belong to. That's when. Look, all this happens cause the West, don't like it, hence they've been causing chaos & diversion to all of asia. If asia did come together as one, it'll be a total devastation of their World Dominance. It ain't got nothing to do with techtonic plates. We r who we r on this side of the world & that is a no no to the west cause they knew that the east is way bigger & diverse than them. Do u think Australia & New Zealand natives asked for white people to come & screw everything up? Get ur history right about who is from where. & what they did thru out the human history. Who created all this unnecessaryness of the world we living in now. Your peoples jealousy & greed from the time of ur forefathers did this! & u the descendants just ride along with it. Inflicting all sorts of stuff that we don't want & need. Few centuries gone by & u still going about with it. Claiming it's a democracy & all that bullshit u threw at us, while dividing us all. This is what u did! Is the world a better place for all eversince that? No!

    I have no idea why there is an English translation for most parts of this video when most of the people are already talking in English. Quite condescending really. For those individuals in this video whose English may be slightly more challenging for individuals to decipher, subtitles would have been a much more useful option. A lot of the original character of the documentary is lost to a slightly comedic and slightly ridiculous voice translation which is attempting to emulate drama.

    This is a nice documentary. Very original presents the situation as it is, with a funny commentator who made some few mistakes when explaining the names of places.
    From the content, it is clear that this video was shot before the 2012 General Elections because Mr Gerard Phillips was a candidate at that time. The road to Gembogl is also totally different now from what you can see in this video. Road works started in 2013. First 10 km to Mandime we completed and sealed by 2015. And today the Chinese are working on the road. Much has improved.
    Nevertheless, the video is great. One striking thing you see is that despite the daily hardships, struggles that people experience, they always smile and laugh.

    Things look to be tough in PNG. However, when you consider the changes that have taken place there over the period of the past 50 years and the amazing place that it is, I wonder what changes will take place over the next 50 years, especially as communications with the outside world improve for those living in remote communities because of technological developments such as solar power and Internet. It will happen. Also, it is such a pity that the whole of New Guinea is not one united country, rather than the Western half being occupied by the Indonesian military. Shame on the United Nations for forcing that on them.
