- World's Most Dangerous Roads: Deadliest Journeys in Benin in 2016
Deadliest Roads - Vietnam: • Deadliest Roads | Viet...
In the far north of Benin, in the heart of an arid jungle, the Baribas people make their home. Historically warriors, they have now become farmers and gain their wealth principally from the cotton market.
For months, the cotton trucks move to the rhythm of the inhabitants of North Benin. Dramane and Zachari maintain the traffic from the North to the South of the country, on track or pavement, in spite of the danger. On board trucks that they have named “Titans,” or aboard battered vans, they sidle along uneven roads, at the risk of toppling over at any moment due to the several tons of cargo that weigh down their vehicles. Dramane has 24 hours to cross the country with his foot firmly on the gas, trying to reach the Cotonou harbor. Cotonou, rather than being a reference to cotton, signifies ‘The River of Death,” which is an apt term for the route that he is traveling…

Zachary is a rich man, because he has a wonderful woman, she manage to make him smile after all, may God Bless the wonderful people of Africa 🌍
Yes he is and may the Almighty bless them abundantly.
The world needs more documentaries like this. More power to the team and more rain of blessings to the farmers of Africa.
Oh wow. A friend of mine from Benin just visited me in Berlin. Now I understand more. Your series is a top-notch educational experience... Thank you!
These are not only documentaries but an encyclopaedia,a lot to learn,a lot to think about,a lot to self reflect....
Thanks to all who are working behind all these videos
I just want to thank this great team for always being there,showing different sides of the world🌏 massive respect!
Ella vos. It's truly incredible what this channel is doing. The thing is humans have neglected their core values, to love each other as themselves. The brighter part is, the human spirit beats it all. I just wonder when the spirit breaks down and decides all humans should be equal, what happens then?. Anarchy is surely on its way.
I like so much seeing different places and lifestyles too. I am so fascinated by the difference on heritage and "everyday life" that people have in different parts of the world and when it is not possible for me to travel abroad it is so interesting looking those documentaries before sleeping 😃😃
For real ... places I knew nothing about ... conditions that makes America seem like paradise.. & it’s NOT!

I really think about the goat on that motor bike and how the trip ended
Tears of sadness watching that little girl Helping her parents load the gravel to the pick up truck, what future awaits for those children, to whom we have enough and we do not appreciated life and the blessings we take for granted. This documentaries show us that there are human beings with huge challenges and they thrive and survive with very little, my respects to people from Benin 🇧🇯, you guys are survivors, fighting to make a living.
Im glad we dont live like that oh well some people are born lucky some are not thats how it is.
In Africa we have families, we are never lonely and that makes us happy.
These guys are so damn creative with the ways they use their surroundings to fix their problems.
If I was a millionaire, Zachary will be the first man to bless a brand new truck. He has everything but he lacks equipment. There are people with money and they don’t know where to invest. Zachary is Potential.
If u were a millionaire chances would be you wouldn't have watched this at first place
@@trackduniya hahaha true fact
You'd want to invest in irrigation.
@@trackduniya lol lol llol hayi maan
Lets go togeder bay ey truck to Zacarías
From deepest heart I am praying to almighty Allah for Zachary. May Allah gives him a new track & lots prosperity in his life.
Poverty is merciless to these poor brave people who face pain all through their lives . Yet to see their determination is so praiseworthy. God bless them with happiness sometimes at least. They deserve it . Thanks so much for this beautiful documentary.
For the donkey at the end, just another day in the village)
Seems your god has more pressing businesses at the moment . Some parts of Africa are continually at the mercy of the whims of the industrialised rich nations who feed this corruption .
You and your god are guilty by association , while you are praying for "blessings"....👍🏻🎅🏻
Came for the roads, left with life lessons.
Wow thats deep. But true
Wisdom words... M gona copy it..
You are a wise man
Couldent say it better myself ! makes us feel fortunate sitting in a warm house working desk jobs for 75$/hour
The more money you make, the more wifes you can marry
this brought tears to my eyes, lord if i was ever ungrateful for the things i have i am truly sorry no human should have hardship like this, im so lucky for the things i have in my life, this is heartbreaking to watch
Amen
I'm from Benin 🇧🇯 and unfortunately, we don't have good roads. But I hope it will get better in the future
I hope so too.
I will pray that ur government will do their obligations to make good infrastructure
My heart is close to.african people
Why is it so because of corruption or is your country entirely dependent on imports ?
Why don't you elect good leaders?
Watching these documentaries has made me realize just how resilient and how resourceful the people of Africa are! They have an unbreakable spirit and are so brave.
This series needs an award. Probably the best life on the ground documentary series ever.
Watching Zachary going through obstacle after obstacle without end is heart breaking and makes me appreciate everything that I have. However! It was touching to see his wife lift up his spirits and making him smile even for a moment.
🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪👏👏 strongly agree
I used to work in Cotonou for more than 2 years and have many friends still. Life was extremely simple and I was very happy. This document makes me miss Benin terribly. I am thinking about going back. To live there is to know how to improvise.
you need to improvise to survive by the look of it, even with all the west has to offer, i can imagine some are happier with the simplicity, i live in the west i am not unhappy but you get use to what you have weather it is a lot or a little and it all balances out in the end !!!
Hello guys those who lives in City/Town and had a decent life,if you ever thought that your job sucks, always remember in these kind of documentary shows us the harsh daily lifes of different race and culture and will let you change your mind about your job.
Have a nice day
Always loves your documentary
From India 🇮🇳❤️❤️❤️
Have a nice day you too!
So true.
yes, but why do we need people like you to state the obvious? when pretty much every other comment is about someone appreciating their life/job more after watching docs with less fortunate people in them
@@tomsonfire3740 I think his comment has gone way over your head, read it again slowly.
@@tomsonfire3740 take a chill pill Einstein
The resilience of the Baribas people in the face of adversity is truly remarkable. They've transitioned from warriors to cotton farmers, navigating treacherous roads to transport their harvest. Dramane's determination to make it to Cotonou is both inspiring and heart-wrenching. Thanks for sharing this powerful documentary.
This is so educative. This is real life not friction films,the today's life. Not Hollywood video . Thanks to the producer . Continue giving us what the world holds
It amazing to see people like this with nothing enjoying their way of life with love despite their odds.
I live a good life in North America, and although I'm considered to be 'poor', watching this documentary has made me feel grateful of everything I have.
Compared to the people featured in this documentary, I am very rich indeed.
Being from Africa is the best thing that has ever ever happened to me❤ God bless Africa
Me too, im from Kenya and the japanese/chinese are helping to build highways in Kisumu
@MarsterB they said they are from Africa that doesn't mean they know Zachary
Kudos to the crew who make this programme, they are the real heroes,I feel for the yellow truck driver, he is very patient
Lord, if i was ever ungrateful im sorry. I never knew there was so much suffering out there.
same im thinking right now, being jobless and running short of money. :)
I am in a position where i think my life is difficult, but am not near what this people of God are experiencing. There is this perception that Africans don't know their God, and Africans still think the gods they're praying to are real. I am a kikuyu from kenya, and we believe in only one God. Most of our tribes have this belief. We Africans know we have one true God. I don't know what happened we associated ourselves with other gods.
@@blockbusters377 if any gods existed on a plane that cared for humanity this wouldn't be happening. any gods you hear of are ways to manipulate people.
Say thank you God for everything
i would also give the children gloves!
''For Zachary, he only has one wife, but his old truck is just as expensive'' haha
the narrator is or was married, haha
@@pablohofmannpuentes791 He is speaking from experience
The other dudes waist will cost him.
@@pablohofmannpuentes791 the narrator reads a script he doesn’t just say random things
@@ryancourts2726 there are all kinds of women out there. Shalom!
This documentary has made me appreciate alot of things i have been taking for granted...
i like this amazing documentary thanks Free Documentary , تحية أخوية خالصة للشعب بنين المسلم
And thank you for letting us know, for taking the time to watch. 🙏

yeah their documentaries are amazing
🇮🇳❤️😊👍
Thank you thank you thank you. We couldn’t do it without you viewers. Truly appreciated.
I know as I do the very same thing too knowing that I'm not going to be disappointed!
Love them too for real.
Watched all these docs on amazon prime a while back but binge watching them again on free doc because they are top notch. Not many quality documentaries like this these days! Gives a real world view of the daily struggles of others and really puts our miniscule problems in the west to shame!
Bezos is launching
This channel is doing a wonderful work. Ever since I started watching this channel I appreciate what we have here in South Africa. It is tough out there in other countries especially in Africa. I was wondering why all this people from African countries are running to South Africa. This channel has really opened my eyes. i was in deep slumber
Really enjoyed this. Very informative. I feel for Zacharee (hope I spelt it right), the owner and driver of the old, worn out truck though. His expressions say it all
Zachari is how he spells his name. Close 😀
Thank you Free Documentary for bringing us to Benin thru your awesome documentary.
These women are remarkable they remind me of my relatives & friends. .. Strong women
The West should never question why we aren't dying of Corona! We have been through much
Yh it's funny as you all claim to be broke but it doesn't stop you having a newer and better iPhone than mine I bet.
Tell you what say three in your village go without then by a well system instead no?
corona isn't doing any justice or retribution, of 10 poor people infected 5 die, and of 10 rich people infected only 1. So corona is doing more harm to poor people than rich but like most things poor people related nobody cares
@@gangstar8652 We deserve those expensive iPhones.
@Gang Star, where are you getting this information from? And how does that have to do with corona at all?
@@CactosS those statistics are wildly inaccurate.
I HONESTLY THANK GOD FOR WHERE I AM TODAY..Thanks folks for this video!!
My heart ache seeing people suffered. Blessed zachary and hes family... and other workers who work hard but paid less... and pls karma for those abusive people...
Send him some karma kash.
that muddy water, speechless
I felt bad until he said he wants to have more children and marry more women. Are you kidding??
@@jameswayne3564 yes and you see? How life is so unfair?!. Zachary work hard for his only 1 family but hes struggling and got more problem... when this polygamy guy has 3 wives and earns a bit more money... i really hoping that time when he says hes hungry the cameraman or journalist gave him food.
@@BUDDYSHADOW i wish if i could.
My favourate channel on TH-cam. Big Up
Wow. That’s awesome praise. Thank you!
The little girl helping her mom wow our children are so privileged
That sweet little girls helping her Mom carry rocks was a sign of pure love for ones mother. On the other hand, the 3rd wife and the truck driver showed zero love for each other. I loved the support from the wife of the driver of the very old truck that broke down, she tried to cheer him up even though they had nothing. These Deadlies Road docs remind me that so many people in the world are living on just a dollar or two a day. The human race is still experiencing massive poverty at the level of slavery. We can do way better. The greedy rich ones need to start sharing the wealth...and real soon. Remember to give to others and share your love.
Thank you so much for posting this! I appreciate your work. First thing I watched this morning to remind myself about how fortunate we are this other side of the world, in spite of all our hardships. Blessings!
Thank you! Wow. So much love today. We really appreciate it.
Love these videos. This series really helps me to understand the different challenges people might face in different regions. I also really love to see all the scenery and hope to be able to actually travel around one day. Cheers
The little 2 year old girl helping her mom carry load of crushed rocks on her head just broke my heart. May God bless her soul
25:10 when those wives laugh ... that just made my day ... gotta love these women! ❤️
But we know the one in yellow ain’t happy with the arrangement
Amazing documentary always learn so much from such remote regions of the world, is sad so see how many ppl struggling to barely stay alive.
I know. Way too many people struggle. There’d be enough for everyone to have the basics (shelter, enough food, water, a decent education) yet...
Your Channel is amazing thank you so much for your hard work dedication and to respect and honour these hard working people is amazing love from Jamaica
Thank you for the comment, for watching. Love from Berlin and Vienna 🌴
Damn! that guy with the old yellow truck ( whats left of it ), he deserves a new truck! We have plenty of discontinued trucks in Europe ( 10-20 years old ) that can be given to those people. Little bit of maintainance, new MOT-check and give it to those very hard working people!!! With a more modern truck they drive much faster, more safe , higher payload and much better fuel economy. That in my opinion is taking care of your brothers and sisters on this planet! Than they will earn more money in less time and so the economic system will develop. One day Africa will be rich, they are rich in nature and resources but destroyed by others the past 300 years.
80s scanias and 90s mercedes actros may be plus the scanias can have up to 530 hp
Please
God bless you
*@Siraj Autar* ......Get your point , but the shipping alone of discontinued trucks half the world over costs a small fortune , unless it's all being done by volunteers .
Africa is not a rich continent,,,, we assume so . In reality the west and east are the richest continents . Please be realistic .
Watching these documentaries by Free documentaries has made me realise even more how privileged our lives are as compared to millions of these folks in Africa.
Waiting 4 you guys, we love this channel 👍👍👍
Cheers from Portugal 🇵🇹

The Voodoo king is the one guy who knows how to organize a good life in the middle of poverty.
All those fatties must be his wives.
@@bandido7994 he has a good taste in women lmao
he is an opportunist thief... a scammer
Just like politicians and heads of religions. They use their bs to steal money under the name of religions
'...... only has one wife.. but his truck, is just as expensive.."... this one got me!!!
Having a young daughter myself, seeing that girl helping her parents with the gravel makes me extremely sad. Hope she grows up to make a better life for herself
Jesus abençoe todo esse povo sofrido...força meus irmãos, trabalho digno e honesto vcs tem meu respeito, me da uma tristesa ver criança nesta situação mas tem que ajudar a familia parabéns guerreiros.
Another eye-opening documentary. Those roads are brutal! But the drivers persevered through that. That deserves respect.
This films lefts with much heavy emotion about those poor families
That guy drives that rig like an absolute MANIAC through those little villages.
As always great documentary there’s no match for your guys amazing work
Great work in making this documentary. Happy to see how courageous people could be despite all the odds.
Great Documentary. Finally a good recommendation by youtube,
You guys are awsome..i loved watching all you documentaries
Like always 👍👍👍 so great to see how hardworking people live.
We need to give value to what we have 🙏.
Ty so much for this documentary!!!
Wow!!.. what an eye opener.. Thank you so much for putting perspective back into ones eyes.
Makes a person feel so very 'Lucky' having the material items they have!!
Wonderful documentary. Thanks for sharing. 🦅
Came for Deadliest roads, left with gratitude for life... people are going through hard times just to feed their families.
God, am forever grateful.
Great documentary as always
Yep these docs are the BEST!!!! no way we could go to all these Deadliest Roads in a life time thanks heaps for ur efforts. i enjoy beyond the stars much love from AUS
Thank you 🙏 and we send that love back your way.
if free documentary is not shown these type of hardships then we may not know .What a chance for us.wonderful but after watching, our heart is melting.any way keep on show the hidden truth of the world.hats of to the team
Thank you. 🙏 being aware of how life is for people around the world does eventually help bring aid, or best case, change for the better. I mean, let’s not fool ourselves. I don’t think there will ever be a world that’s just and fair for all people. But if we can help improve some lives, then it’s worth trying again and again.
Thanks for those whom made this documentary, it changed the way i look through live making me to be so much grateful.
Thanks so much for your documentary! I feel always happy when viewing it 😊😊😊😊
been waiting for all ur videos
From Philippines...
Watching Documentary is my Past time hobby...
Thank you for this doc film. I wish more western countries audiences watch this video so they would appreciated what they have. Greeting from South America
This is about the 5th documentary I have watched.. all are professionally done and highly educational... THANK YOU for doing this.. !
Once again you delivered. I feel like i have traveled the world from your documentaries. Well done @Free Documentary
See, and you have said in an eloquent way the reason we do what we do at FD. Thank you. Your words really mean a lot.
This was by far the best documentary by you guys. It showed the stark difference in the quality of lives of the people doing the same type of jobs. While one was having problems even making ends meet the other was having issues fulfilling his wife's never ending demands 😏👍🏼
Wonderful cinematography as ever. Even the narrator resists the temptation to pile on the false jeopardy. These are extraordinarily fine documentaries.
Fascinating. I’m watching this documentary in Cotonou, Benin, Africa.
In this channel my favourite are the deadliest roads.....keep on posting this kinda videos from all over the countries.. the best documentary channel...period...
Nywys stay safe guys.....praying that this pandemic ends soon....Love from Nagaland....
My favourite is The Most Dangerous Ways to School.
Where is Nagaland? I’ve never heard that name before. Is it an island?
Google Maps my friend
semajpoker a state in India it says. I thought it was a slang name like for well known place like ‘Hotlanta’ or ‘Chiraq’
Great documentary... even though the film was recorded a while back I appreciate. Learned a couple of stuff from my own country.
After watching these documentaries I will never complain again..., be thankful for what you got
Found one of these videos by accident. Now I can't stop watching. Great documentary.
This is interesting shows how hard and difficult life is in every country and culture. People find away to survive. Thank you for shearing
From which country are you?
Thank you for this exllant documentary
My TH-cam feeds full of Free of Documentary from this huge respected channel. This channel deserves more and more popularity. I haven't seen any others ones showing all the sides of the worlds. The entire film production Crews are stunning to share real lives out there. I feel so blessed for my life because I m still living in much a good life when I see those documentary films. Thank 👍
Yeah, Mr. Free Documentary.
These documentaries are very educational.
Thank you, Mr. Free Documentary.
From kenya love
Really feeling sorry for those hardworking guys. It's really hard to live a decent life.
Set up a gofundme page for them then. If they weren't working so hard, they would be protesting in the streets and blocking traffic like they do here in the US.
Hi kannan hope your are a keralian very happy to see you watching this viedos

You've gotta respect the work ethic on these African's...it's incredible!
Thx for your documentary good job guys 👍👍👍🤒🤒🤒🤒
A very good documentary worthy of watching. Patience in driving old truck made me more appreciative of events unfolding ahead of the driver.
Poor driver.
I love these doc's. There should be more of these to show the world as it is
I have absolutely no right to complain about anything after watching this.
You realized you are blessed.
It's human nature to complain. I just got through complaining to my wife about the jets in the hot tub not being strong enough.
My number 1 channel thank you for every video
Thank you 🙏 seriously much appreciated.

story like this make me think im lucky..thank you for showing us a different side of the world..
Great documentary. We get to know the life styles this poor people and their odds. God bless them. Thanks to Free Documentary.
Sometimes, one can't help not to question up above, why life is so unfair. The poor are not lazy. They work very hard and still stay poor. And the rich who have so much keep putting their money in mansions they never live in. This is a puzzle of life, I can never understand.
They stay poor because their government is corrupt and rejected capitalism.
Your first problem is looking up above. WTF are you looking at?
@@garyfischer4357 come to africa to live with us and you will see what we look for Above lol
Nobody cares if you work hard. You have to work smart. Then save, and invest. Buying capital goods like trucks is the way to get ahead. And learn something - for example driving a truck. Then don`t squander the money you make - save as much as you can, and invest again. And so on.
They are lazy and if you've worked in Africa it takes at least two people sleeping for one to do a little bit of work. The fact the men lazed around refusing to work while the women fetched water was just one indication. Perhaps they could have dug a local well instead of waiting for gap year millennials to come and do it for them.
