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
I currently live in Uganda (I am German) and I actually like the local waragi. It is very clear, tastes very clean, actually nothing like bananas and is pretty smooth. I still would not drink a bunch though, I’d be a little afraid of the health risks. What is not mentioned here is, that the stage between the bananas ripening and then the Destillation is called “banana beer”. It has around 12 % and is traditionally handed out at weddings or when hosting any bigger party. Traditionally it is drunk out of hollow pumpkins.
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."
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.

I love that vice doesn't make the slaughter overly graphic. Ive raised chickens and helped butcher cows and wild game, and honestly, I'd rather eat this goat than most of the stuff they have in grocery stores in the US any day.
I'm personally a farmer. We don't kill cows unless they're suffering from something or they can't produce milk anymore. We rarely sell our cows to a slaughterhouse. Bullet in the head and slice the throat to make sure it's dead before you take it apart too make meat
when they played the music it sounded like something you'd hear in the background of some french cooking show. I love the respect that they show by not making it look animalistic just because it's different from western culture
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

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

Africa clearly doesn't have any shortage of blue cups.
+sharktrail ` that's what I was thinking.
Spent the whole video thinking about the company that makes those blue cups, its a national fever.
headcoLd 7 it's the same three cups. there passing them around
hahahahhaha
Somewhere in Africa is a strange, secret temple devoted to the production of these mysterious blue cups. To what dark end do they conspire, we may never know.

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

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

I currently live in Uganda (I am German) and I actually like the local waragi. It is very clear, tastes very clean, actually nothing like bananas and is pretty smooth. I still would not drink a bunch though, I’d be a little afraid of the health risks. What is not mentioned here is, that the stage between the bananas ripening and then the Destillation is called “banana beer”. It has around 12 % and is traditionally handed out at weddings or when hosting any bigger party. Traditionally it is drunk out of hollow pumpkins.
If only it tasted of bananas, seems like you could make some pretty nice drinks from it.
Sauber schön sich mit den einheimischen einen Reinorgeln💪🏻
They make it from sugar cane as well
It's called a calabash, not hollow pumpkin😊

I love that vice doesn't make the slaughter overly graphic. Ive raised chickens and helped butcher cows and wild game, and honestly, I'd rather eat this goat than most of the stuff they have in grocery stores in the US any day.
I'm personally a farmer. We don't kill cows unless they're suffering from something or they can't produce milk anymore. We rarely sell our cows to a slaughterhouse. Bullet in the head and slice the throat to make sure it's dead before you take it apart too make meat

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
That drink has surely significant more than 40% maybe even some methanol, these cups are probably the most sterile objects in the country
