Deadliest Journeys - Afghanistan: The Wakhan Passage
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2024
- Situated in the extreme north-west of Afghanistan, the Wakhan corridor is bordered by the Hindou Kouch mountains and peaks at almost 5000 metres high. The only road that cuts through the corridor is almost inaccessible, crossing the mountainside, often buried by metres of snow.
Director : Nicolas Cotto
The little boys face when he got those red boots melted my heart. They have so little ,but at the same time seem very happy. Wealthy in other ways.
Emotional comments 🥰 well sad
Felt like that. The people are happy despite the difficulties. Wish them health and better furture
She's a sweet little girl.
Well, if you listen to what some of the people say in the documentary, they aren't happy at all with their tough life. I'm sure a lot of them would love to have a paved road that would allow for supply trucks to come in more frequently at the very least.
I seen these people in this region my heart melted, they had so little or nothing. Homeless in the US, I gave them some good clothes, can of foods they’re refused to take, they only want cash 💰.
Beautiful Afghanistan 🇦🇫 respect from Mongolia 🇲🇳
Cheers back to you!
"even though it is cold, i am still happy because i am with my parents.." For some reason, that just broke my heart.
Great piece of film. No fluff or repeated shots of the journalist themselves or dreadful music. So incredibly rare in the "look at me" RUclips video culture. I am soon to travel through Afghanistan and I'm glad to have come across this video to balance the negative ones here
Phenomenal. Absolutely astounding! The scenery combined with the isolation . And demonstrating how different their world is from… people with internet. Thank you for posting this.

Man that would be a tough life. Have to admire the strength and will of those people. Incredible.
I visited Afghanistan before the war w America and before their war w Russia. Afghanistan men, I like to say, were lean and mean. I’am from the States. The Afghan people are tough and resilient, they have to be and they are God fearing. I respect them.
Afghans are very hospitable and hard working people, thank you for such a beautiful video exploring reality of innocence people. ❤🙏🏼
Everytime l complain that things are not going well and life is tough i watch this video to remind what tough life looks like and that my problems are nothing compared to what these great people have to do to get by
this is just the best of humanity.... This is how it's supposed to go, despite the hardship. This is how we should treat each other.
Excellent, the Pamirs have witnessed generations passing through its corridors. Only the tough ones and resilient survive these rugged terrains. Best documentary ever...
I been there with medical teams for 1 month and I saw a lot of problems unfortunately,
I hope we can do something for these amazing people, they are very kind and hospitable with pure hearts,
Thank you so much BADAKHSHANI people 😇💚
Are you from afghanistan brother, I am also a tribal from northeast india
@@bharatindia8332yes we are , you are a Tribal so what?
Afghanistan is so beautiful. I wish the people would suffer no more.
They just need to change their culture and the problems will go
@@PibrochPonder Lmao, racist.
Their biggest problem is the US
the ancestral land of the Bulgarian tribes. I hope to be able to visit there one day. Strong, independent and hard working people, just like their descendants in our country today. Thanks for the video!
I worked in Afghanistan for 5 years (Khost province 2008-2012). I enjoy these documentaries as I feel a little nostalgic and have a place in my heart for Afghanistan and the people/culture. There is a lot of good I can say about the Afghan people. I wish some of my countrymen could take some lessons from the Afghans in regards to many of their character strengths, but most of all their appreciation and contentedness for the simple things in life.
how often they take a bath? 🤔🤔
Hey agentwhatever go play with your rubber ducky when men are speaking
@@Agent-ie3uvyou kid be polite don't be fool
Great video with outstanding photography. Despite the hard way of life, these people appear to be very hospitable, hard working and willing to help each other. The road needs to be improved to provide much needed access of goods and medication. This is a kind of place that I would love to visit - the scenery and the people. If only if there was peace in Afghanistan!

YES, AMEN. I live in Georgia, USA,. I'm 79 years old and would love to visit their area. God is Love. Peace my friends.
Watching from Ireland, excellent, brilliant, I could watch this all day. Thank you
Mention not😁😁😁😁
That's only because there were so many poteehtos in the doco
This is the ever best documentary I have seen in my life. It is awesome. Appreciated your artistic and wisdom. Big salute.
I am impressed with the camera work on this video documentary.
Thank you for this authentic documentary about afghanistan.
Being Free is the main message ! Away from the Taliban ~ Wonderful movie of life for these wonderful people!
Jay- found the "peaceful" libtard
@Jay Slomine we were flooded with heroin prior to Bush... don't be so naive or partial. Turn of the 1900s Morphine was given out like asprin today.... it only went away once the govt saw they could criminalize heroin street use against the black communities during the Civil rights movement of the 60s.
away with Islam
away with Israel.
@@scottbeaulieu8192 no.
@@gullybull5568 the US govt admits it. You can follow the policy changes its pretty clear when opium, morphine, heroin, etc became illegal, controlled substances with harsh punishments. Theres irrefutable evidence proving it as well...
Beautiful documentry never seen Wakhan before, long live Afghanistan 🇦🇫 from Bharat 🇮🇳
Look to to their faces , you still think you are Aryan like them?
I have seen this documentary 100 times and still want to see it again nd again what a effort what a great documentary.
Thank you for documentary on my beautiful country. Hindukosh, Wakhan corridor.❤
Instead of stilted, and out of date textbooks, let’s use these videos and similar items to teach about world, culture and geography.
So true
Ok
These nomadic people are amazing. Tough genes and kind hearts toi!
after the film one cannot help but root for these people. may modern tools help ease their suffering without diminishing their traditions. thanks. great documentary.
Thanks for the great documentary, much respect for these hardy people. The lad's priceless look of gratitude at 12:44 after he receives the red boots is heartwarming.
The mountains nurture the bold and fearless. Amazed to see a medieval world where small necessities are still luxuries
Outstanding video, salute to the maker. Hadji is a shrewd businessman.
Absolutely loved watching the documentary 👍👍, that's the real Afghanistan free spirited
It was an enjoyable film, with people who are engaged with life and the world full-on. no time for depression, boredom, consumerism and nihilism in the modern world
Respect to Wakhan people from Pakistan 🇵🇰
Wow...driving is both beautiful and tough☺ Beautiful because one gets to see many places...and tough because of the danger and there's maintenance of the vehicle along the way.🎊 it was wonderful to hear too from the child saying she's happy because she's with her parents inspite of the difficulty of their journey 💝
Yet another televisual feast,thank you....
Love, hope, and dream for the Afghans...
Many of today's youngsters should help out here for a year, they're all too self-absorbed and have no idea what a tough life is really like.
Or perhaps work to improve their own community.
I'm watching from northeast India Nagaland...it's awesome 👍

For me too bro
Very tough people. I am very happy they have access to water, food and education. The fact that even girls can attend school there is just fantastic.
Love my country Afghanistan 🇦🇫❤😢😢😢😢
It’s amazing how similar and different we are at the same time. Like underneath we are all striving for similar things but in very different environments
After seeing this I'll never complain about that pothole on main street again.
Complaining and fighting and death and blood is how people make governments to do what they were elected for! And to put an stop to the corruption at in some grade
Sudden pot holes are more dangerous than this cause those hole werent expected and at high gear
The Afghans have some of the most beautiful eyes and skin i have ever seen..
what a great documentary! Afghan people are a wonderful and diverse lot consisting of various ethnic and racial backgrounds.
These people are speaking Farsi/Dari, which is the language spoken in the North of Afghanistan and across the country.
Anyways, wonderful to watch the culture of the remote and honourable people of Wakhan Corridor.
I heard Local ,real Afghan Speaking pashto because they are pashtons
@@Userafg959i’m pashtun we have many languages in afghanistan the first language of afghanistan is dari, second pashto, third Uzbek,fourth Turkmen
My beautiful country 😍♥️🇦🇫
Beautiful indeed, spectacular beyond belief. May peace grace the Afghani people forever 🙏. I was in the US Army and was tasked with training the local police and Afghan army in Bermel Valley, Paktika province. I hope in my lifetime it'll be safe enough to return as a civilian, again with peace, to see some of the areas we tried to help. God bless.
@@scottbeaulieu8192 ♥️♥️
Is that beautyful?
@@scottbeaulieu8192
You’re really hero to be in this country 👍
@@scottbeaulieu8192 but the wrong policies of US they destroy Afghanistan first they support the Taliban and Pakistan against the Russian now US facing the same problem from Taliban

Beautiful ❤️ my Afghanistan hope there peace one day

Thank you for such amazing documentary..
thanks for this video, it's so interesting to see all those good people and their life survival from very different angle as not a usual thing this days on a mainstream media
خدایا بالای این بندگان فقیر مظلوم رحم کن زیندگی نیست جهنم است خداوند یار نگهداریتان باشد

though old or new...........its relaxing to watch the videos.......
Excellent video. Tough living there is an understatement. Interestingly, they understand and value liberty! God bless them.
The old man driver was fortunate enough to receive a quick check up & medical 🚑 prescriptions for health issues. Along his transportation route.
Excellent film thank you
Wow, driving in Afghanistan is not for the faint hearted !
Also in himalyas
It was scary enough in summer when we did it 😳
Great informative documentary about this most neglected area of Wakhan Pamir adjacent to Gilgit Baltistan Pakistan, congratulations from my side. Wakhan people is ismalilis by religion sub sect of shia muslims very moderate , their current Imam is Prince Karim Agha Khan. Developed countries specially Agha Khan foundation should come forward and help them to construct specially road and infrastructure.
Are Sofia Ismaili Noorbakshis in baltistan are also Aga khanis ?
@@mohitbhardwaj3532 Sofia nurbakhshi and Ismailis are totally seperate sect of Islam. Ismailis sect people follows Prince Karim Agha Khan as Living Imam in the world. But Nurbakhshi mostly close to Suni and shia sect of Islam follows sufism but they have their own rules regulations, both of them Nurbakhshi and Ismailis are exisit in North Gilgit Baltistan of Pakistan
@@mohitbhardwaj3532 are you Ismaili or Nurbakhshi of Badakhshan
@@hadiakbarkargili637 thank you for sharing this information, but I'm a Hindu, In the Indian baltistan I seen these people and they are very open and welcoming and importantly they are secular as well, their mosque structure is also different.
Here I'm talking about bordering areas of the Chorbat valley outskirts of Skardu and khaplu, mostly these are Shia I believe. Here on the India side is Kargil and Hundermann .please correct me if I'm wrong. 🙏🏻
@@mohitbhardwaj3532 yes you are right brother, Before partition, Gilgit-Baltistan, Kargil-Ladakh was a single region. I also belongs to this region of Gilgit Baltistan (Pakistan). Basically the culture religion language of the maximum people here is the same except Ladakhi people of India mostly Bhudist the believers of Dalai Lama, All the these people are similar to each other in appearance across the boardes, They were especially muslims of Baltistan ( Pakistan) and Kargil (India) even they have blood relations before partition across the boarders between Skardu Baltistan and Kargil Ladakh, but these blood relatives had been separated from 75 years due partition of India Pakistan in 1947, Basically these people are very peaceful people and majority of them is Shia Muslims and others Nurbakhshi, Sofia, Imamia and Ismailis the sub sects of Shia Muslims also exists here in Gilgit Baltistan.
It is the ever best documentary I met my life.
Ohh dear Afghanistan, you shall rise and prosper.
One thing that is difficult to describe to anyone that has not been to the Afghanistan country-side is the absolute pristine stillness. It's beautiful but rugged and deadly. You might as well be on another planet, it's so isolated out there.
Watch from Afghanistan 🇦🇫 wakhan my beftul Valley ❤
You can only appreciate the old guy's carefulness and vigilance all those years being on this dangerous roads . Hope the young lad learns from him

These people seem very strong and honest. We in the west are weaklings compared to them.
Yeah.
We should be strong so the talibans can take over our countrys too
Much respect for these people as we all take things for granted and obvious they do not
This 1 is a good one
Can't get enough of them😅
Watching this you see how importance of leaving people alone in their own countries and cultures. Problems start when other cultures from far off want to impose themselves on others and describe other people's way of life, culture and language as primitive
Really? You apparently missed parts. Or you are CCP
your dead right about not imposing ourselfs. i wouldn't say leave them alone we should be working with others to stop corrupt Politicians putting money in our banks .provide meaningful aid not trillions on bombing them .
@@violetgibson9 😆;😂😂;;;;;;;;;;;;🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣;;;;;9
..
All of these people want democracy. Its not about the culture or anything. There is many different religious groups in Wakhan and they co-exists peacefully
God bless afghan people love from India 🇮🇳

Some real country out there..
such a a beautiful country
I'm only 14mins in, and love the video, I have immediately picked up on few subtle scenes which really moved me.. and gave me more appreciation and respect for the Afghanistan and its people.
But the most moving part 6:29 was where you see the ultimate opposites of the universe in one frame: Desolate, cold, strikingly beautiful yet dead and uninviting backdrops, dangerous and violent environment for sure... against the innocent, undisturbed, happy and red faced, healthy and most importantly - laughing groups of children, playing in this hell as if it didn't exist.
Look at the face of that girl, she is happy and healthy, what more can you ask of God or whoever to give you in life, other than that.
You can almost hear the mountains muted screaming in anger, cause they cant make kids fear anything in their clueless childhood wanders.. yet they carry bags of flour, and they show family respect saying how they're happy cause thy're with the parents... imagine that.
Imagine a kid in the west saying that.. they'd give him addarol and xenyx and on the short bus for sure.
Second was how the old guy as tough as he is, shows a warm heart by extending credit, keeping tabs, but then - and this is hats off man respect- then he notes that credit was not necessary before, now it is, but that all those on the list are honorable men, showing the utmost respect and understanding for them.. and then he says they will pay him back, if in 10 years than fine, but they will.. wow.
He knows he might be dead by then, so he pbbly does not even expect the money back.. but he also knows trat doing a good deed like that, well, it can only help once he's gone, being generrous can only help in the afterlife, still he helps not out of interest but simple and pure, human (not Godly mandated) honest desire to help.. by this is pure as pure can be and I bet the ones who owe him are doing all they can to pay him back and will return the favor somehow..
Last, loved the barter, I;'D LOVE SOME FUKIN CHEESE here taker the onions he got almost 20 kilos of killer cheese, you know how good that cheese is?? These guys simply do a few back forths and smile and go on their way, simple.
They all basically live HAPPY, including kids, and even with Taliban and the wars, are actually happier in life than 90 % of us lost souls in the west... music saves me, though I';d go nuts.. or move over there to Afghanistan haha
The scenery is magical!
My lovely country 🙏😢❤️
Afghanistan Land of bravery from kurdistan xaele xosha
Love the narrator's voice😃
“On the other side of the world theyre trying to get to Mars, and look how we live here”
Damn that hit different

Amazing video!! I was there in 2004.. Amazing Afghanistan!!
😢 and people in our country complain that food is too hot or too cold looking at these people in Afghanistan I say we are the luckiest people on earth😢😢😢😢 when I see so much food wasted at home and restaurants and when I see so much usefull stuff going to the garbage it makes me SICK 😢😢😢😢
Thank you so much for this amazing video! God bless you for all you do. I am a guy from the opposite bank of the Panj river. Yeah life is difficult in the mountains and you coud show it for all, how people are great to keep confidence in their life.
Muy interesante, vidas duras, personas hermosas, muchas gracias
Beautiful people God bless them.
Great film, thank you.
It made me think very much about what makes people happy or what constitutes a good life.
Someone said a better road - I doubt it.
They talked about going to Mars - probably not.
I am not sure.
But perhaps it is more something very personal.
How you lead your life and how you think about it.
Not necessarily how it really is (objectively).
Wonderful documentary. Thanks for uploading.
I was there for a year, all young Americans should have to go see what these people go through to just survive.. it will make you appreciate what we have.
Love these documentary's!
This is just out of this world. Watching this outstanding documentary from Karakoram. Filming in the toughest weather and season is its top merit
