- They assail drilling platforms with high-speed boats, seizing foreign nationals for future ransom negotiations. In 2015, a total of 73 such attacks occurred, leading to the abduction of 62 individuals. They represent the contemporary era of piracy, redefining kidnapping as a profitable enterprise, and viewing themselves as modern-day Robin Hood figures. Their primary targets are oil companies, which they accuse of exploiting the nation's natural resources without reciprocation. In this documentary, we followed soldiers, sailors, and pirates over several months, joining them on their raids to unveil their operational methods.

The guy being interviewed wraps it up nicely by say “you come to exploit but you don’t want to employ, this is why we do this”.
These people are not dumb,
Now I understand why they do it.... smh, they're being robbed and denied work? And we wonder why everyone hates us? I pray they fix this system .... great coverage
Well spotted

Can't blame these guys. Oil companies pumping oil from their land making millions while the natives starve. I'm with these guys 100%.
OK Carolyn Taylor lmfao
This comments a fucking joke
Facts
So should they rob the oil company?
The locals could have drilled the oil but they chose not to so why not let someone else ?
I like how polite the pirate captain was once the interview started.
The reporter get paid go give the location. But they were pirates. Comando put them down
And then he changed everything....Stop,I've tried for you
@@gumegoz2012I don't think he would do that. I think he has real compassion for those pirates. All he does is make people aware of situations
That seemed pretty fake, tbh..no one acts like that while agreeing to talk. These 'journalists' and their 'TV shows'... lol.
He must be a legendary Gentleman. Get a grip you Helmet
This guy has receipts Kudos to him on just not teaching theory but actually sharing real life experiences even when his life is at risk. He has a full robust perspective to lecture with
These guys aren't the real pirates. The actual pirates have yachts, mansions and millions upon billions of dollars.
These dudes capping. How they make 200 million and look like that. Flip flops and a row boat.

Africa seems to have so much to offer, yet the people suffer so deeply. I feel for them. Very good documentary.
I always thought this. Many countries in Africa are rich with culture, history, resources, etc its too bad their governments and infostructures aren't as developed, for its citizens.

É só ajudar os pobres pobre miserável de cada país né o rico fica mais rico o pobre fica mais pobre dura menos
According to this, Nigeria is the 6th producer of oil in the world YET there are Nigerians "living" with under one USD a day, something is NOT adding up...300 million USD a year spent on patrolling off the coast of Somalia when a fraction of that money could do SO MUCH more for the people who do the piracy...Anywho, GREAT documentary and that French guy has balls of steel...
Nigeria's population is 220mil. the 300mil UE spends on the protection wouldn't go far in country this populous.
No but it should have made a visable difference in infrastructure if nothing else.

Why is that our problem? why does the normal citizen have to pay for Nigeria?? let them do it themself we are are not a paypig for Africa.
This is the most incredible journalism service that I’ve ever seen in my life
normal it's French
This is one of the most gripping documentary that is truly eye opening and compelling in exposing the exploitation that occurs in Nigeria 🇳🇬. 💯
So all these are in Niger or Nigeria? Hmm
Its not just Nigeria brother, it's africa as a whole. These american corporations claiming that bLaCk lIvEs mAtTeR are the same companies exploiting BLACK LIVES IN AFRICA. ive watched so many documentaries on conpanies who exploit the living f*** out of these people and it's horrifying.
Stupid trash africa 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
I'm Nigerian and i can tell you that these people work for the politicians. they are not an independent rebel group, the politicians supply them with the weapons too.
It's Not Only Happening in Nigeria, but All Over Africa, and France Bilk Billons of $$$, from French Speaking African Nations, but care Not, if they have Clothes; Food; Jobs; Shelter, and Clean Water, and, I Think GOD IS AVENGING, SEVERAL CENTURIES, of ALL THE INJUSTICES, DONE TO THE WHOLE AFRICAN CONTINENT! I❤IT!
PONDER IT, SERIOUSLY!
I can't help taking my hat off to this French man & his photographers for their exceptionally courageous & brave behavior/or demeanor for the sake of reporting this extremely perilous fact-finding mission to Nigeria & Somalia, for they could have easily been held for the ransoms well worth of tens of millions of dollars, cuz they are French. That French man & his cameramen were literally dicing w/ death because of their unpredictable conducts ( remember some were on alcohol & cocaine ). The rest of the crew like editors, a scriptwriter w/ one's researchers, a narrator, audio men, etc., they achieved a great job to enhance a wealth of thrill & excitement, & they were able to do so at the comfort of their studio in their own country, & that is a pivotal difference from the aforementioned men. Nevertheless, my heartfelt thanks to them all concerned in this production, we could enjoy watching a truly rare, unique, & extraordinarily valuable & informative documentary. Appreciated it to the full,,,(09/13/24)
they're not doing it the "sake of reporting" Dint you ear what he say? He's not ajournalist, he's a teacher of the future esploiters of this land: he goes and study them so he can teach the future oil company leaders how to fucX them... HE's a piece of total shit
they say it is fake. paid actors. Which makes more sense.
As an Indian I agree that Oil companies should employ these people , Provide them Best Health services and Educational services.......So they should not go to wrong way......Or These cases will be reduced.....Great Documentary...........
Absolutely 💯 Agreed!!
The Real Criminals are the Oil Companies!!
And Politicians!!
They are stealing from the people who need money and jobs!!
I don't condone violence,

You think anybody needs unalphabets with no education at an oil refinery which is run on high tech equipment these days?
Rather go ask their government what happens with the royalties paid by these companies than u find the root of the problem.

Just say you like lecturers that doesnt value their lives above anything, that's why these people are rare
Some people just want a job teach and not go to Somalia to witness piracy @@oscarrickyh02
The problem is that during this whole documentary he never pointed out the main problem which led/leads these pirates to do things like this in the first place -- which is corruption and instability started and funded by the Western colonies themselves. Actually he even ignored it, when the pirate himself pointed it out. Had they focused instead their investments on such countries to help them get back on their feet, there wouldn't be corruption of this level. That'd be the least they could do after colonizing and robbing these people.
This was so polarizing! Things that were said in French were not expressed things that were shared in English were not expressed, this was an example of how we are being gripped!! Positive vibes only ❤
im a native french speaker and i couldnt help but notice how often french dialogue from the original narrator was mistranslated

"Ten days after we left the rebel leader and a dozen of his men were killed in an army attack."
I wonder how the army knew where to find these guys ...
That flagged me too, the dude looked like he'd been raiding for years then 10 days later they get caught, i'd like to think if he dropped them in it it was accidental, like maybe he tried not to get spotted but the security forces got them anyway. maybe the reporter should have tried harder to keep out of sight, but lets face it it would only take a quiet drone or some well placed spotters ir gps off his equipment to bring it down, multi billion dollar companies have access to tech even some military dont know about. i reckon he knew, which means he or his TV firm made the decision, and who gave them clearance to make political/military decisions? boom.
Well we know this bastard reporter swallowed a tracker of some sort. It was a set up...!!!! I wonder how much these companies paid this reporter for his effort in helping track down these African Freedom Fighters, whom they label as pirates, they are African Freedom Fighters and are only taking back what's being stolen from their lands by these white imperialist pirate oil companies. These imperialist are the French the English and the USA.

Good documentary. Enlightened me to the never ending exploitation of the African continent. With Nigerias natural resources, there shouldn’t be the level of rural abject poverty. The Nigerian government permits this operation and that is the root cause for the huge divide in wealth vs poverty in that country. The big oil companies are despicable.

Sounds like the Nigerian government is dispicable as well

If I was a pirate I would not allow anyone to come to our camp and interview us. They are giving away too much information to the system. 🤦🏽
I'm sure the film-maker did not come empty handed when he did it. If you know what I mean. In most of the world things are done by bribes paid to the head man in charge... and the tribute y ou pay had better be enough (but not too much)! or the negotiations could get ugly mighty fast.
Thats what am thinking
10 days later they were killed...never trust scumbag journalists
I’m doubtful it was just a coincidence dude with scarred face was killed a few days after they left and a lot of the questions he a asked them are about the details of their operation that would most definitely help police strategize and defend against them.
Not really, consider they share with us intelligence I'm sure, the guy getting clapped is part of that life, look up the average lifespan of a pirate

Well said.
Don't fall for it. If they had the power, they'd do the exact same. If the oil dried up, they'd be kidnapping their own people. They're opportunist trash. Gangs try this bs worldwide. From Frank Lucas handing out turkeys on Thanksgiving to FARC claiming to fight for the freedom of Colombians
Such an eco warrior they have make shift refineries that spew more toxins in the air and Soil than 20 oil companies combined
I don't understand our African leaders. They don't make good provisions for their people. They don't care, and the people are suffering. I supported them.
The leaders of Nigeria are not really Africans...but Arabs, who invaded the land eons ago.
And they are prompt up by the greedy Chinese government, who profit from the oil....
According to my black African ( Nigerian) friend
They are the same as these sellout black American leaders. No different. The black man is a loser around the world. Following Obama got crooked jo Biden in office. What a disgrace that we can't think for ourselves.

They are corrupted by big cooperations to avoid the gate of Gadaffi.
Deeper than this brother. Once a reasonable person runs for office(as in, no bribes or "protection") they get killed or "talked to" if you know what i mean.
Documentaries never focus on how resources are stolen,the root cause
There are actually dozen of documentaries about how resources are stolen,
but simply nobody cares, me included

It wasn't a criminal business, nor was it corruption when the monarch of England and Spain controlled piracy and were the architect and beneficiary thereof, but whenever regular citizens do the same things that the upper echelons do then it becomes a problem.
Armies and navies which are used to get colonies or conquer other lands is just piracy and robbery and kings and emperors who do this are mafia bosses.
Mexicans driving ships in Africa is crazy
Thats True my brother 😂😂
Spain? What did Spain to Somalia, Nigeria and these countries?
this dude seems more concerned with the oil companies profits than with the reasons these people have to resort to piracy in the first place
Because oil is evil the whole planet fighting about it. I dont give a fuck less not even using a car.

Now here's the most beautiful love story: Me and you? Though we have fallen short of the glory of God by comitting just one sin which we deserve death and hell for, the Good News is that God loved us soo much that He, All-Powerful and All-Knowing Spirit came to earth in a human body as Jesus Christ, the fullness of God bodily, to live a perfect life keeping and fulfilling all laws and commandments, not sinning ONCE, and then sacrificing Himself on a cross for YOU! By shedding His Blood, He paid the penalty for your sin so that you could be washed clean from all sins and develop a personal relationship with God and spend eternity together with Him in Heaven. How awesome is that?! That's God's grace. All you have to do to accept His gift of grace is turn away from your sin and believe that Jesus is God, He shed His precious Blood for you and He is risen from the dead, He's in full control of your life that He rules over you. It's not by works or being a good person, it's only by God's grace through faith in Him. Jesus desires a personal relationship with you. Wow that is so incredible! Please turn to Him, He loves you so much and so do I!!
Yes, well, he is a business lecturer.

Absolutely. Bernard Monnet is beyond courageous. These people are clearly not to be trifled with in any way. What's more, most African bandits and African soldiers and warriors in general (the difference is often non-existent) often are under the effects of various narcotics before going into battle, often with the approval of their leaders (many of whom even provide the narcotics to their own men in order to give them courage in a fire-fight).

this is were the saying "cameraman never dies" was invented. 🤣
You spend about $1m monthly securing your oil platform, if you inject about 30% of those funds into those communities monthly, you wouldn't need to spend as much anymore. Give back directly to people you take from, that doesn't seem difficult to do. Is it?
It’s their government that gets the money from the oil plants
Spend 300m usd according to the documentary to stop the piracy in Somalia...imagine if that money was invested in the people...
They already paid their governments to have access to the oil. It's now up to the government to use those funds correctly.
@@abdul-kabiralegbe5660They could easily hire local men to work on those oil riggs. You probably need about a couple dozen men for each platform to operate full time. I guarantee those pirates won't even think of hitting the operations of any company who does this.
The fact that the pirates themselves spell this out is astonishing.
I think this is the issue of corporations in general - the guys who climb to the top are the psychopaths who feel like they're omnipotent...and I think they get a perverted sense of power from exploiting others (employees, natural resources, other countries...). Helping a person or community diminishes this sense.
If this sounds too cynical - I worked for a retailer that was supposed to donate food before expiry to asylums for single mothers etc., but they didn't wanna do it as it seemed marginally more expensive than liquidating. Only after I calculated that donating it actually saves money did they actually agree to donate some.

I don't understand why any of these men were willing to speak with the journalist, and share details of how they operate, It's also hard to imagine why you felt it was safe to speak with these men, when one of them mentioned how much he could make if he kidnapped you.
because they are proud of what they doing. just like you would be proud of your normal job
This bozo keeps going back . He wants to die
@@henkstoomflat8840 By NO means that is NOT a normal job to be proud of But fortunately is a divine justice
i was wondering the same...and we are watching it for free.
@@francesfries7 they are probably proud due to the fact that theyre fighting back against corporations who leave them and their families broke and starved, prevent them from making money they'll effect their ability to make money.
Great documentary by professor. Can't blame these Robin Hoods. Corruption and greed is the root cause for all these conflicts.
Yet if these pirates took over they would do the same thing 😂
@@davemartino5997 very much possible
Ughhhh seeing that rusted RPD at 2:50 crushes my soul 😢 😂
Great documentary…..The journalist has balls of steel!😳🤯 Very dangerous assignments he goes on….What is this man’s name? Respect, wow!!👌🏼🤩
He's not a journalist. He is French big business, helping to exploit 3rd world peoples...
At 16:50 😂😂😂 being cheap is sometimes a good thing!
Salute to Indians & Filipinos
Just because some governments call people pirates or terrorists does not mean they are.
These guys definitely are. Is their anger warranted? Probably. Are they pirates/terrorists? Indisputably they are, yes
@@noahhess4955 they're labeled pirates by their opposition it doesn't make them that 😂
@@JavierPacheco-yp4wr y'all are dumb they are literally definition of pirates
@@JavierPacheco-yp4wrwhat are they then? Martyrs? Rebels? You’re an idiot
@@JavierPacheco-yp4wrStill doesn't give them the excuse to kill and kidnap
Good incomplete documentary. You have to tell the whole story in totality. The root cause of piracy, the Environmental, economical and health hazard impact on the community, the true beneficiary of the oil revenue and resources. Expatriate are well fed and the real owners of the oil are malnourished. So much injustice going on in this world. Show the true stories to those University students
Yes Tell them about evil tribal thinking corrupt african Leaders and politicans!!!!
I thought they covered a lot of that.
How right you are. He comes there twice a month to then tell future businessmen (thieves and murderers) that they must take into account the costs and risks of pirates. Great!
We all know it, they don't have to say it!!! Imperialism and Colonialism is why Nigeria is impoverished!!! England literally purchased the country for 850,000 pounds via a British trading company!!! Then changed the name from Egerew N-igerewen to Nigeria!!!
REPARATIONS FOR NIGERIA 👍🏿
Boohoo
I like this movies! These are the best of not the netflix.
I work sometimes with peoples from Niger, Ghana, Cameroon.
cOM CERTEZA UM DOS MELHORES DOCUMENTÁRIO QUE JÁ ASSISTI, ESSE CARA ESTÁ DE PARABENS, ÓTIMA QUALIDADE DE INFORMAÇÕES.
Das ist Hollywood 😂
схуяли это Голливуд, Ганс?
It's so cool Google translate is so good now I can just understand you all
These are not pirates these are coastguards
Wow, great documentary,i think these oil companies in Nigeria need to focus on the improving of the lifelihood of the communities where they operate from,employ the locals,build schools and hospitals, inprove water reticulation and all will be well
I think more than they they should probably give them their oil back, a rising tide needs to lift all boats, unfortunately its not as automatic as the proverb implies.
Their to hateful and greedy for that.
they don't have anything to do with the oilers though, they rob crate boats, not oil rigs lol
Výborný dokument 👍 mělo by se to přednášet ve všech školách. 👌 Obdivují vaší statečnost.
These "modern pirates" are a disgrace! They totally ignore the pirate dress code and not even have peg legs, eye patches and hooks instead of hands!
They’re the same all over the world! 🤣 🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️✊🏻✊🏻
People like you is the reason why these pirates exists.
What about this situation is funny?
They even miss the obligatory parrots, wtf
@@ACE-xr4jzbro stuck in the 1800s
It’s not make believe pirates that you see on tv or read in your kiddy book noob
The only brave man who fought in nigeria
#RIP_JohnTogo
The filmmaker has brass balls. Excellent documentary.
The saddest part is that the hard workers in Piracy remain poor while the big bosses have mansions and bodyguards.
1:23 guy looks like a real life James Bond villain
foreal
I'm not sure if this documentary was an act of bravery or stupidity... Or maybe a little of both... Either way, well done & very informative. I would say that 99% of the people who have watched this should be grateful for their living situation regardless of the circumstances!

Oh Africa. One day soon you will be free. You will build the greatest nation in the world. Just stick together and never lose hope.
Love from Kurdistan❤️ 🌞💚
lmao not with people like this

"Ten days after we left, as agreed after giving the army their location, they were all killed in an army attack." weird that that part of the line was edited out...
This guy works for the oil companies for sure.
According to FSM religion pirates are endangered species vital to prevent global warming. So respect for Somali pirates, Aargh
A few minutes into watching this and now i almost cant blame the pirates. You own the oil yet benefit NOTHING!?
Same thing I said when I watched the one about Somali pirates
All of the governments in this region are corrupt. The politicians are the real pirates.
No reason to take the easy route and become a criminal
@@sternleiche Like how western countries steal resources from underdeveloped African nations and assassinate their leaders to further their own interests?
@@BlkDymond73 Whyncha tell me what does Somalia have that the pirates want to recover from multinationals?
Much respect and big up ...... the way he stopped the guy interviewing him
I really enjoyed this documentary and i applaud you for taking all this years to complete it.
There are a few things that disturbed me though. The first one is labelling terror by religion. Nigerian pirates (militia) who control the narrow lakes, had crosses on their necks, a religious symbol, but i didn't hear you call them out by religion but when it came to somalia, you called them the 'Islamic'' militia (who control south of the country).
The second thing is that you tend to mention the impact of this piracy on the world's economy yet you interviewed Civilians, militants and tribal chiefs / leaders who view this activity non beneficial to their local economies and lives...and they also gave you reason why they do or support them ...yet there isn't an interview on your video where you question leaders or CEO's of this large companies.
It is apparent that this large companies do not benefit the local economies of this regions in any way so rather than talking about how piracy threatens the global economy, (something you strongly emphasised )...maybe focusing more on the cause,the the driving force, the negligence, the capitalism, the lack of jobs in this localities by this large corporations would have shed some light on how natives and governments of this rich oil countries are being exploited by the west.
On that oil Boat,160 expatriates work on board, On the guard boat,the commander is french , the captain is mexican (who mentions how high paying the job is...and that's why he is still there) the safety of all the expatriates is guarded by the Nigerian naval Forces (20..under a french man's command.). This is an example the disparity i am talking about.
..from watching this video, i cannot think or get convinced that tribal chiefs, militants and even the government is weak & corrupt as you imply...the government has no option ...this is Neo colonialism and by very powerful entities (whose business is protected by the UN and EU..and their powerful naval forces...) ..this is exploitation and economic discrimination and that the biggest problem that i think we should investigate first.
Definitely agree with you. I believe it is a lack of power the Nigerian government and people have against the huge oil companies and the western nations that protect and facilitate them which is the root cause of militias, corruption and poverty. Africa is the wealthiest continent in the world regarding natural resources - but why are most nations in Africa so poor? I think this documentary is just one of numerous examples of the modern day colonialism and exploitation taking place. Basically Western nations and companies stealing the wealth away from the people who have the right to it.
Western nations have the power to dictate who leads nations such as Nigeria and other African nations which then give them the power to change laws which facilitate exploitative companies using the nation as a HUGE cash grab. This then breeds corruption, which then breeds poverty, which then leads people to a life of crime (e.g these militia pirate groups) and the cycle continues. Its really disturbing how much of this actually goes on in Africa, and looking into it - its completely blatant and obvious but the broken system is so ingrained into these poor nations, it makes it almost impossible to escape it.
I would highly recommend a video by the Caspian Report titled "France secretly owns 14 countries". It is just another example of neo colonialism, with an unbiased view towards the daylight robbery happening in all too many African countries.
Yeah. I agree with you. Very well written. I also feel more enlightened and educated about the situation after reading this.
True words, no money is being ploughed back into the country.
The rich getting richer, the poor poorer... That's sadly, Africa...
I couldn't agree more
I wish anyone a better future but robbing isnt the way. Everyone has to work hard for what they get
