- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 31 ธ.ค. 2020
- 00:00 Every year in Senegal, during the rainy season, floodwaters cover entire regions, including towns, causing a veritable exodus to Casamance. We follow the struggle of seasoned exiles along roads that have now become sludge tracks as a result of the rain.
04:11: Gambia has paying borders.
19:25: The people in this area heavily rely on rice for survival.
22:35: Without these trucks, the entire village faces danger.
31:21: To survive without the land, they rely on the sea.
38:30: An accident jeopardizes the truckers' business.
42:35: The poorest residents attempt to steal goods.
Director : Philippe Lafaix

Who else just started randomly watching this during lockdown and is now addicted
kinza Thinley me 😁
Me
Same here
Bored with this comment.
🖐🙂
These documentaries have an therapeutic effect on me...if I had any complains at all...there are gone within 50 minutes!
Couldn't have put it better....
Or less.
I watch them every morning when I get up. I know what you mean
😀😀 I just realised Kenya and America are brothers after watching this
There's a bridge now instead of ferries at the Senegal - Gambia border. It's called the Senegambia Bridge and has a toll of $7.50. It takes minutes to cross instead of days with the ferries. Its construction began in 2015 and was financed by the African Development Bank at a cost of $67 million.
The $65 million was a loan, the construction apparently cost $93 million. The bridge was finished in 2019, first only to cars, while they continued the work so that the bridge could support trucks as well.
$7.50 toll is exorbitant.....in Africa. Even the most expensive SINGLE toll I have paid to drive on a turnpike in the US was like $5 for a passenger car.
@@diambo4life The 7.50 isnt for the locals to pay, they rarely if ever get charged when providing proof of residence or documents, its for people who only come to visit or for multimillion dollar companies that truck produce around, and the money goes right back into keeping and building up the economy.
@@TheWasher18 Good deal.
From days to minutes? Aren't you exaggerating a bit? 😅
(edit: oh that includes waiting in line etc.)
I must say Deadliest Journeys is the pinnacle of documentary greatness. Enjoy it while you can because they don't make shows like this anymore.
Why?
@@ochombamoragwa6340 cuz some people cant stand harsh truth
Africa leaders please wake up Nd work on infrastructure plz. Kenya 🇰🇪 ❤
Watching this reminds me how privileged I am. This is everyday life for them, I can't imagine how hard this is
True true..
@@ericollinswanjau1973 yes true as
Blessed
All Africans are the most gracious, patient people in the world.
Most of the ones that I have met are snooty, stuck up, very rude and stingy!
These people are truly amazing! What a humbling series. Puts all my own problems into perspective.
Like waiting for a week to proceed on the ferry? I was like, I get angry waiting three minutes at a stop light. Makes me feel so out of touch with the rest of the world.
@@ancientfilm yes
Seriously man, I watch these to appreciate my life here in the states more
I guess you are not from Africa?
African IQ
11:20 "Nothing seems to quench the thirst of the minibus", he then pours some water into the radiator, closing the hood without closing the radiator cap, pure GENIUS!
No cap
That’s what you do when there’s no cap.
I once took a Senegalese bush-taxi from Guinea towards Dakar. The taxi broke 5 km before the border, where I came on foot in the company of other passengers (including one gentleman with an attaché-case, who refused some of my water because it was Ramadan). I waited 2 days at the border (one Mauritanian guy was selling some awful roasted meat there for an outrageous price, but he explained: there is one butcher here and it's me), then I catched a mango truck and travelled for about 40 more km on the top of the load (delicious Guinean mangoes), but after that the Senegalese policemen told me to get down because this was forbidden in Senegal.
That be a crazy story bro...
❤️❤️💛💛💚💚👍👍👍🙏✊
Truly a five star experience.
The title of the show doesn't do it justice. This show is amazing. Not our does it document the hardships and raw real life in other countries, it shows how courageous and strong theseo survivors are even in the most hopeless of times.. very inspiring to me.. thank you .
Tapi ok ya
As I was watching the part on the fishermen going all crazy for a few fish when they pulled up to the beach, an AD came on and it was how to subscribe to a boating group so that you can learn how to drive your speedboat, park it and such. You see people playing and tubing behind the boat, everyone's so happy and enjoying life and the luxury of boating, then it went back to the documentary and went right back into the crazy scramble , fighting, injury, and pure chaos and hardship of life in Senegal. What a stark contrast back to back. It sure does put a perspective on what small things we look over as conveniences that would be considered a dream for others. These people are amazing. Wishing them strength, patience and good fortune.
Even the poverty class here in America are rich in comparison to those poor bastards...
"When you see the truck turning, guide me instead of standing there with your mouth open!" Best line ever in the whole series!
Having lived there I can honestly tell you that that is quitte normal. It’s like pressing a reset button on a computer, everything stops. You can explain something 100 times and the 101th time you don’t explain they will just stand there doing nothing and they forgot it. You would think that for 1 dollar a day wage you can relax but it’s the opposite because if you need something done you can better do it yourself.
Watching from Nairobi,Kenya. Got hooked to these documentaries during lock down. Kenya's roads are much better in as much as we also experience flooding in the rainy season.
Are you sure with what you are talking about, Kenya to we face this problems.
@@jacobotieno173 Man, where in Kenya did you see such a road?
One of my coworkers is from Senegal. He is the coolest dude ever. Straight up real as can be. I work at a flour mill in PA so the money he makes these people can’t even fathom. He fills up the containers like tractor trailer size, with everything he can fit. Clothes and all kinds of shit from like Saturday markets and swap meets and auctions and just anything we Americans basically just throw away or give away for nothing. They take it ALL!! Obviously. He is regarded as a king like figure when he visits. He has built like community centers and living quarters he has people there take care of for him and all that. It’s amazing how much he gives and still has and the impact of his actions is just amazing. You hear all about it but actually seeing the conditions for real is just incredible it really hammers it home. Guess I’m not doing so bad after all…..
Unless youre french senegal men are fucked up
First viewer from Kenya.
But I Think I must have watched this too under Deadliest roads, by Free Documentaries.
Hello Friend Simwa,,, I was in Mombasa and in Senegal and Gambia, and I NEVER saw rain like this!!!! I was there in the 70's and the people in all three countries were very friendly and very comforting and helpful,,, I loved traveling to all of Africa, but I only got to see the ocean views,, countries that were bordered by water, as I was US Navy,, but I recall pulling into Mombasa and on one side, it was huts and villages, and on the other side, it was like Miami!! tall hotels and buildings,, I miss it!! take care my Friend,, Jambo... E
@@dreddj.9451 Much welcome.
Wishing you good health.
Yes, I have seen something similar by Free Documentaries. I do not think it is an exact copy. I think it is a similar documentary that contains different parts of the documentary at different times.
@@dreddj.9451 Mzee, niko Uingireza lakini nyumba na shamba yangu iko Gambia. Mtoto wangu mama atoka Cassamance. Mvua hii ni Kidogo tu! Senegal na Gamba unapata mvua siku saba non-stop! Nilipata mvua kama hii uko Nyeri 1976.
@@djhalake :) hahahahaa,, this is GREAT Dida,, I was in Mombasa and in Monrovia Liberia, and the water was so deep the snakes came in the bar!!! we were drinking and had to raise our feet!! hahaha,, and yes I was in Dakar,, but it was sunny and no rain,, lovely then,, it is sad there now,, much fighting,, I was also in Sudan, and it was 130 F degrees, not even water ,, or a pool ,, only goats and buzzards hahaha,,,,, thank you for your nice note!!! Have a great week!!
Wow! What an EXCELLENT documentary!
Thank you for video..Tough life is the reality in Sub saharan Africa..
I Witness this as a expat in West Africa.
Most countries in sub saharan West Africa..are blessed with natural resources..
However the ordinary people get nothing .
Hoping that Senegal keeps improving.
as pothole-y and tire shredding, suspension snapping as our roads can be, these documentaries put things in perspective to how good they really are. I cover the same distance during my commute in about 1 hour total per day that might take these guys several days...
They risk their lives everyday just to survive. This is truly inspiring
I wash dishes for a living and these videos make me feel lucky and rich. All that foreign aid to Africa should be spent on roads and then other infrastructure before anything else
Those classic Peugeots are awesome
Watching from Kenya Kanairo City 🇰🇪🇰🇪🕺🕺🕺
Kumbe ata inafaa tusicomplain sana kuhusu uhunye...afadhali sisi
@@amoskipchumba7576 tuko poa sana kwetu
Utaumagara oigaga no nyina uwi kuruga, jayden, kanairo ni majuu
Weeuuhh Kumbe kenya ni afadhali ,,,me sijai ona maisha ya shida hivi😂😂😂😂
Good documentaries like this are a reminder that I live a good life up here in Norway
I'm in love with characterful vehicles in this series.
I was in Mombasa and in Senegal and Gambia, and I NEVER saw rain like this!!!!

A lot has changed now. Mombasa is modern rapidly growing coastal city. You should visit soon.
Because that money is repatriated...
Climate has changed a lot in 50 years
These kind of conditions makes me feel so blessed to be born where I was. I hate to see people live in so much poverty. 😭
Thank God for everything
@@felixstowelltonas6255 pppppppp
They say if you live your life comparing yourself with people with better lifestyle you will be depressed until your death, but if you live your life comparing yourself from where you were before and from people who were just dreaming to have what you currently have then you'll realize to have gratitude about your life...
They could be happier than you😝
@@romella_karmey Sure ....people shouldn't take their comforts for granted.....but all this "gratitude" doesn't help these people one bit. Maybe we should remind our governments not to prop up those corrupt regimes who would rather buy our weapons instead of taking care of roads and other infra structure.....indirectly we are guilty of these circumstances. Some would reject this as "liberal" bullcrap ,as if these people don't have themselves to blame ; they should trade places for a while then and see how easy it is to get rid of western supported military regimes.
The best way to enjoy these documentaries is to download them... because i have become very addicted. They are so good
🎶🎵I'm proud to be an American...🎵🎶 after watching this, that song hits different.
Traveling in many African countries is tough, not to mention the roadblocks where "everyone in power" wants to be bribed.Been there done that, i was born in Africa but I sometimes fail to understand how things work or how things are supposed to work.Brilliant share
West africa!!!
i love this documentary series humble and just telling the everyday joys and struggles of people worldwide.
doubt the likes of netflix, apple etc we produce something like this
Hats off to those mechanics who keep those old vehicles running without proper parts, tools, and liquids. Respect. Think about what they could do with proper equipment and education!
Its incredible if you consider they maintain half a century old machines with only rusted parts.
Lord please keep these hardworking men safe from danger and harm, in Jesus name
Amen
Yeah 😂😂😂😂😂?w😂😂 what a robot .
Senegal is 96% Muslim, but, point understood.
@@raylopez99 religious differences do not separate us from the love of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ👑❤🙏
@@truthunfolded1300 I think that's why he said "point understood" - that in Senegal they would mostly be referring to Allah.
There's a beginning...barely an end. What a continent. Amazing how "wild' that place is...
Great episode. I wish strength & patience for all hard-working people of Africa.
I am from this region, SeneGambia
Senegalese are resilient! Gr8!
They help others (e.g., Truck driver helping motorcycle man to carry his palm oil)! Really kind hearted! Albeit poor economically, they are rich in heart!
Watching this makes me thankful for what I have , even though I don't have much
The spirit of this people is amazing.1 person feeds 15 people that atleast 7 of them can work
senegal is where the slaves were bought
Love the woman working in the fields. They are so inspiring.
Inspiring to what? You also work in the field now?
When I was a 👦 I thought I’m the only one can experience this…thanks for TH-cam,This is a good video to watch and learn more about this world..
life is tough but people are still make a living with hope.impressive docm
TIA . This is my favorite episode so far!
This is a great movie. It takes courage to sail into the sea in that weather as those guys said... still, you've boarded it and filmed everything perfectly. What a great job!
This is called a documentary, not a movie.
@justinsmith4562 whatever. English is not my native language.
Hopefully it didn't feel too awkward for you to listen to all that guys from the video who were stupid enough to not to speak English at all ;)
I'm never going to complain about the potholes again. Those poor people. My heart goes out to them.
My heart breaks for these ppl for everything they go through may a special place be reserved for them I pray for every good thing to locate them.
Die Leben so weil sie so leben wollen, im Dreck, sonst würden sie das ändern
They say if you live your life comparing yourself with people with better lifestyle you will be depressed until your death, but if you live your life comparing yourself from where you were before and from people who were just dreaming to have what you currently have then you'll realize to have gratitude about your life...
The prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said Look at those below you and do not look at those above you, for it is the best way not to belittle the favors of Allah
AMEN!🙏💙
Thank God we are alive to watch this
and thank god there are people doing these journeys everyday just to survive so we can watch them on TH-cam, yeah?
Yeah
Best documentary ever....get to know how people live and survive in different parts of the world
ever? youre overly dramatic
@@maurice2014 still its better than most things on youtube. these should be put on paid, on-demand tv services, and yet its available for free, for everyone.
the white van is trying to travel across a desert without a radiator cap. like what the hell dude
Could have a slow leak and wants to keep the pressure down...I have had to do that a couple of times...
I have been to Senegal west Africa in the 80s.🙂miss so much.
Every episode amazes me... thanks
Your docum. Is one of the best .. i enjoy every seconds of it ...great work
I'm of Gambian descent and this is the closest these series came.
Respect to those cameraman who risk their lives for record.
Ah it’s not that bad! I used to travel daily living there and I’m still alive! Yeah some cars are pretty sketchy but you get used to it
Good documentation. I see these women working hard in the fields, sometimes with a child in their womb...in great heat, mosquitoes and high humidity...and yet these women find their lightness back at the end of the field work...their zest for life in a flash.
So poor, such a hard life... full of deprivation... and at the same time so very gifted... by this indomitable joie de vivre.
Something we only partially know here in the West.
The best documentary, always looking forward to the next.
Blessed. Love these documentaries so relaxing.
Sounds a bit mean,.....but yeah, it makes you appreciate not to have to endure such situations .
But then....we all are somewhat responsible for allowing our western governments propping up these corrupt regimes who rather buy unnecessary weaponry instead of taking care of infra structure .
"We steal fish.." what an honest thief 😂
These people are my heroes cause this what I call hell my hat is off to them wow
life ain't easy everyone got a story to tell
I love this show. I’m so addicted 😂
Such a good documentary. Eye opening
Absolutely brilliant
Your channel is super important
One amazing journey
I enjoy watching this documentaries....👍🇿🇦
Hello
Thank for videos, I can see amazing wold👍👍
Best WAY to bring in 2021 with a new Journey Video!
Time to warm up my couch.
🍻🍻🍻
Absolutely.
Am I the only one noticing that the first bush taxi driver, with the old Mercedez Benz mini van, doesn't even cap the radiator after pouring water in it? How do they expect it to cool down?
These videos keep your feet firmly on the ground.
Wie Schweine zu leben und es zu lieben ist beeindruckend....
Watched yhis for the first time today.... my heart bleeds for Africa 🌍 😢
I watch them every day now
Love the bumpy road sign at 12:08. Lol.
I got so addicted to watching this
Love love your amazing videos. Sooo beautiful.
I like Senegal people from Bangladesh
I love this show
God love people of Senegal.
this was uploaded once
@21:30 hearing those sweet women laughing and seeing them play around after a demanding day in the fields really made me tear up 🩷
Most entertaining doc. on utube…
Keep safe n keep smile
Happy New year to all nice vlog
Helps put things into perspective. We get outraged if we end up in traffic jam that is 20 minutes long. Not to mention how much we complain about our roads because of some potholes here and there. We are lucky, that's what we are - end of story.
The way this guy narrates, I'd love to see him do a documentary of the Miraa vehicles in Meru Kenya
Awesome !!
Hahahahahahah 6:20 the driver was so chill he was like ' wtf this people are' 🤣🤣🤣🤣 patience my friend. . Patience 🤣
Solid documentary,👊👊💚💚🙌🙌
Love the content 👍
Amazing your new video is good I always like your content I wish you success always🙏👍
Am sorry to my president, in-fact now than ever am proud of my country and our neighbors in east and south. These people have nothing on us!! Nothing! Don’t fear them again, no wonder they cant leave our countries🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
This filmmaker deserves an award
Be grateful for what you have in life
Nice videos. Dangerous roads.
Thanks a lot.. nice one
A little bitty fella working on the tire lol awsome
Kenya we are on track
I wander if the German engineers at Mercedes ever imagined thier truck would be doing trips in this condition 50 years later.
What I've noticed is, that with a little forethought and knowledge, travelling could be so much easier for the people. The vehicles would be much more efficient with basic checks and maintenance and if shovels and wheel ramps were carried, they could be used if the vehicles got stuck. The amount of diesel that old truck was wasting through an incorrect mixture ratio and the engine not firing on all cylinders must be huge, and the extra diesel used in the Mercedes coach when the brakes were stuck on, plus the wear on all parts associated with that is staggering. They just don't seem to understand how to make their lives easier.
they don’t do basic checks as most of the time they aren’t required, the people operating the buses are trying to make as much money as possible. They don’t want to waste it on safety checks, you have to remember how insanely poor they are in Senegal. It did annoy me how they never turned their engines off though, they left that massive diesel engine running while they sat doing nothing in the rain.
That’s a white man thinking! This is African way! At least that’s what I always heard living there from the locals
Jakie trudne zycie!Bardzo.
Lots of Hard work and sweat. Now I feel how good my life is.. Feeling sad that their daily survival needs all these work.
