I heard about this fella who was addicted to drinking brake fluid. His friends told him that it was a VERY bad idea. "What's the big deal?" said the man. "I can stop anytime i want."
Dude is cool as hell. Chilling and drinking with the locals like it's nothing.
Haha, yeah, I still find it hilarious cuz he's like the most "soyboy" of the vice crew, so seeing him in this environment is fantastic.
@Bobby Danger Well, he's got some security, incase you missed it. You can't just go to these places, you do know that.
He walks through literal slums in other countries and America too like it’s nothing.

This guy is completely awkward but trust me, when you’re the only white guy in a black rural community in Africa.. you’re gonna feel a little uncomfortable
L C and you’re an imbecile lol
Why would you feel uncomfortable?
@@Claire_Aces even I as a half Senegalese ho is close to her culture and lived in Senegal (West Africa) I would be uncomfortable there. A part of Africa I don't know about, in a small countryside village full of dead drunk people, would be feeling 100% secure there idk. Lol just saying, we're humans we have the right not to always feel comfortable around certain people
I lived in Uganda for a while, in a small village called Kakumiro, and I can confirm the OC! Every step I took I was observed with a mix of curiosity and distrust...plus, since the culture is so different it was hard to form a connection with most people
@@jomo148 Hahahaha, oh wait you're being serious? Let me laugh even harder hahahahahaha
It's scary to see EVERYONE is drinking large water glasses of this stuff when it's 40%.

@@eunicestone838 yeah it’s a moonshine which is almost always high alcohol content
its 70 + i think.
That's because moonshine is more readily available than water lol
Yh and it’s even scarier when he said that half a liter would get you drunk😵💫😵
love this style of doco, wish they would make more
It's really nice that there's no omniscient voiceover speaking and the subjects of the documentary are allowed to speak for themselves. Much more grounded and realistic.

Why are all these Vice employees such trendy lookin hipsters. its like they were all picked up and hired from a vegan party or a farmers market.
lmao vegan party... I'm vegan and you'd never ever expect it. but I tell you one thing. after three weeks of no meat, I never felt as good before
+leaddispenser9 were you feeling shitty eating meat tho? I love a steak dinner, I never understood the motivation to give it up. but hey, whatever makes you happy bro, not power to you

the hell's a vegan party?
Nothing I hate more than people talking about becoming vegan or ESPECIALLY gluten free, and then having to constantly tell everyone they see how much better they apparently feel. The mind is a powerful thing. Placebo effect for most.
Wow this documentary is so good. It doesn’t feel like it was recorded a decade ago
The fashion is a dead giveaway.

You have to be joking, lol. People in Uganda usually have old clothes / from decades ago since they're mostly donated.
As for the VICE guys "fashion", what did you expect? All of VICE's "reporters" and "journalist" are GEEKS.
cuz you getting old..a decade ago, they already had great technology ;)
Not trying to be rude, but what difference does that make? It would be like me saying that The Godfather sucks because it came out in the 70's.

@@redfuryfive6616 answer his question. Don’t avoid it.
old vice is the chad of journalism
Some people are slamming Thomas Morton, He's a fairly young journalist but he's done some really good stuff for VICE, some seasoned journalists wouldn't even dare to go to some of these places. I think that deserves a little props
some ppl just like to find ways to critizie. you can either bless and beautifly someone or something or degrade someone or something. unfortunatly some ppl would rather bring others down
The series 'Noisey Atlanta' is another great one by Thomas, where he goes into some of the roughest hoods in Atlanta to find out about the whole "Trap" style of hip-hop. Honestly some crazy stuff goes on & I like Thomas as a host, very likable.

This documentary is so good, it reminds me of the legendary film Mondo Cane, although this doc might be even better due to the great attitude of the host.
Am Ugandan and this video really brings out the truths about the alcohol consumption in Uganda.It's just that 70% of alcohol consumed is local brew especially from Banana and sorghum.More has to be done to sensitize folks against intake of alcohol

Its not that dangerous, when you can leave the country and get good medical treatment at home. Still there is a risk, but its relatively low compared to the locals, who wont receive any treatment at all if they get infected
