Guinea Conakry: The Challenge of Palm Oil Transport

In Guinea Conakry, known as the “water tower of Africa,” clean water remains a rare and precious resource. Behind the wheel of their truck, Mamady and her sons battle torrential rains and treacherous tracks to deliver massive water tanks essential for the survival of local communities. Meanwhile, after the palm oil harvest, motorbikes overloaded with dozens of jerrycans embark on unpredictable routes, where every journey is a gamble. Between resilience and ingenuity, this documentary dives into a daily struggle where access to water is a race against the elements.

  3. E muito revoltante ver como tem um governo que não ajuda seu povo que sofre para ter o pão de cada dia são uns verdadeiros guerreiros que Deus abençoe todos 🇧🇷🇧🇷

  4. Есть проблема с русскими субтитрами. Конкретно в этом ролике субтитры неправильно переводят , большая часть ролика переведена неправильно

  5. Reminds one of 'water, water, everywhere – and not a drop to drink'? With verdant land, vegetables growing into their mouths, bamboo and palm trees. Rice? Palm oil?? Key persons from this society should be taken to rural China to learn examples of how they can turn their villages into manicured paradises too, with harvests hanging assurances above every fireplace. This is such a sad story of self-neglect, if not learnt helplessness. No doubt de-skilled by historic traumas. But there must be enough humanity out there to come show them better??? So sad.

  6. One thing I am sure of is that people complaining about the government doing nothing would have done the same if they were allowed to hold a public position. For most African people, it has become a custom to take advantage of being a politician or holding a public position.

  7. I always remember how lucky I am to be an American. People all over the world suffer. We have it so good in the United States. Meanwhile, we complain the loudest it’s really terrible. Take some time to count your blessings if you live in the developed world, and thank God.

  8. I feel bad for these people and it is always a slap in the to wake me up to how good I have it in America. But, Its the same in everyone of these. The corrupt Governments aren't going to help. So, if they put that same amount of work in the have done for years they could have an interstate. Slash through the forest and make a new road. Hard as hell? heck yea but at least the suffering will be towards something to help put a stop to the suffering eventually. Also, CATCH THE FREAKING RAIN IN A BARREL! I moved off grid and have a big plastic tank just like them and I have free water constantly. Give me Bill Gates Money and I will go over myself and get this done.

  9. Also, my grandpa showed me how to use boards and branches tied around the tire like snow chains to get traction. Its worked a thousand times. It's like they dont even try to think there has to be a better way just because thats how everybody does it and has done it for decades. Developed countries were once undeveloped and they did it. Why haven't these by now?

  10. 16:09 « mi yejjiti ko hitaande honnde dhun wadhi » = j’ai oublié en quelle année cela s’est produit. Mais le journaliste traduit ça en « je n’oublierai jamais ça » 😂😂

  11. Is a very sad history, I wish I was closer I will help them with money, it breaks my heart 😢I hope one day I can do something for all.
