Impossible Roads: Season 2

2x05 Colombia, The Wild Pilots of the Amazon
NR

In Colombia, pilots risk their lives to connect Indian communities scattered throughout the Amazon rainforest and cut off from the rest of the world. On board a DC3 - old propeller planes built before the war - they regularly take an air route considered one of the most dangerous on the planet... These planes are the only ones in the world able to land on very short dirt airstrips, often ending in a ravine. Elsewhere in this country, other pilots risk their lives every day. This is the case of Jose Gutuierez, the pilot of the great plains of Colombia. His job, fly less than a meter above the ground to spray pesticides or fertilizers in the fields. The slightest inattention can be fatal to him.
