Liberia: Endless Rains | Deadliest Journeys

From the first images, the director immerses us in hell. Downpours, crossroads and flooded villages, population drowned in torrential rain, overflowing sewers. We're in Liberia. Here each summer the rainy season is one of the strongest in the world. In a few days, a fatal rain worsened the difficulties of this country ruined by a devastating civil war. An avalanche of water ravages all the dirt roads. The villages are cut off from the world. Despite the condition of the roads, FOFANA, a money-obsessed Pick-up driver decides to take penniless passengers across the country through the jungle. This trip against the natural elements quickly becomes a nightmare and reveals the terrible living conditions of Liberians. With prodigious ingenuity, each tries as best he can to get out of it. The misfortune of the floods brings happiness to those who help the victims in exchange for a few cents. The pastors of a Baptist church turn Mass into a lucrative raffle ... Soon the director reveals in this incredible film the dramatic reality of a bloodless country. Thousands of children break stones from the age of 5 to "rebuild the country". At the risk of their lives, employees of a multinational palm oil company are transported to the plantation in overloaded cattle dumpsters. For a pittance, crushed by the sun that has finally returned, they plant thousands of palm trees on their confiscated and devastated land ...

These documentaries changed my mind, my thoughts totally. Now I understood what is hard work and tough life.

[musamfofana]

I am a Liberian currently studying in Germany. I went through more than this but I can tell you definitely, the children will succeed in life

[strongboy]

That pastor had me dying. The narrator even made it funnier. Lol

[sony]

Wow, it's a tough life . These people are really brave to say the least . God bless them. Young boys/girls around the world should watch this video or be shown in School.

[PAULLONDEN]

Unbelievable ....even filming this was a heroic undertaking .

[raymondberard]

Kids in Canada and the US need to be forced to watch how kids really work hard instead of being able to play video games on wide screen tvs and then be rude to their parents

I felt so much pain for those little girls and mothers crushing stones 😥These families deserve some hand and help from government or NGOs. Mr. Narrator, good job. I hope to reach those kids some day, and support their education. Johnson Sirleaf and George Weah could have done more, but again I am aware of the challenges a country like Liberia faces after decades of war.

[dencam]

Watching this makes me appreciate how Kenya has good roads.

[clebfelm]

That girl at 11:30 is heartbreaking. I have a 5 year old daughter who is a spoiled brat and has no idea how good she has it. It's hard to imagine living a life like this. No child should have to live like this.

[tankimajota]

We need this kind of documentaries to remind us how lucky we are with the little we have, instead of complaining. May God bless those kids whom are crashing the rocks. A kid is supposed to play and go to school. Not to work at the age of 5😢 …

[RustyShackleford-]

Watching the children work breaks my heart

[ElliottRubsy]

I can get tired of watching this channels it's absolutely entertaining and educating documentary, this is the fourth time I'm watching this, I really love this channel.watching from Nigeria 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬

[Roseforres]

Watching the challenges that these people face makes me even more thankful for all that I have. I think this experience would definitely have a positive effect on the lives of children in the US and Canada.

To our resilient African brothers and sisters in Liberia, to my little girl who is working hard for her meal, to the tenacious women enduring days of mud-covered paths to make ends meet, your struggles resonate deeply. Please receive my heartfelt support in these challenging times. Together, we can overcome adversities, and I believe in the unwavering resilience within each one of you.
