14x01 Afghanistan, Merchants of the Valleys

  • 2021-08-06T19:00:00Z52m

Afghanistan is one of the most closed countries on the planet, a secret country with rare images. The "Routes de l'impossible" teams followed Afghan drivers, who are fighting for their survival and that of their families. Indispensable heroes without whom goods and foodstuffs would not circulate.

In the Central African Republic, the civil war has destabilized a country with an already fragile balance. The richness of the basements does not trickle down to the difficult daily life of the inhabitants. Cities are almost cut off from the world, such as Ngoto. The road leading to it is impassable, ambulances no longer pass, so medical evacuations are done on motorcycles.

However, thousands of Hondurans continue to live in these countries cut off from the world. Their only link with society, these villagers owe it to a handful of people who find the courage to walk these roads in a deplorable state.

Roads in remote provinces of Ukraine are in a disastrous state. Mikola must allow two days to get to work in Sarata, an isolated village in the mountains.

At the wheel of his Jigouli, which he repaired himself, Dimitri, a postman, faces chaotic paths to deliver mail to the inhabitants of remote villages. His miserable salary barely allows him to live.
