Benin: Cotton At All Costs | Deadliest Journeys

[@SV-lw8jo]

Driving in countries such as Benin highlighted the importance of having a functional horn in your vehicle. I truly enjoy these documentaries.

Thanks!

[@chrisg.209]

True admiration for such honest, hard working, ingenious people. I am humbled.

[@beatnik6806]

I always see only positive comments about these documentaries, and I agree! These are perfect lenght too. It's awesome we can watch these free. Hopefully documentary makers takes notes and makes more of these.

[@rubendevries4698]

I really do enjoy watching these documentaries. It shows how hard life can be and in some situations, not even very much different from 2000 years ago. The perspective from a truck drivers' view is also very interesting and incredible to see what kind of trucks they're (still) using and all the hassle around it. Keep up the good work!

Who am I to tell you how to improve your life & your beautiful country. But there's one thing I'd like to warn you about--> do not make any deals whatsoever with China. They will just rip you off, they may offer you a cheap loan But they want critical areas like ports as a guarantee of the loan. Then, one day they demand that the loan must be repaid on a fast schedule, if you cannot pay, you will lose the port and other critical areas. This has happened in some countries in Africa and Asia. The bad news is that many politicians in the African countries have accepted the taking of a bribe from the Chinese, thus driving their country and the people into the Chinese debt trap. People of Benin, do NOT walk into that trap! If you manage to get rid of the corruption, at least partly, you have the potential to do a lot of things to improve your life and your country. All the best to all people of Benin 💜💕💜

The biggest mistake white people make is thinking Africans are capable of civilization. Even the rough concepts of civilization - the clothing, the cars and roads and even the cotton - were given to them by superior races and they’ve barely maintained them.

Eye opening documentary. Governments and UN should do something to improve these treacherous human conditions. Better used trucks and gloves and masks for working children could be provided. In some countries they need help with improving roads. Diggers and ploughs would help them. Lift them up a notch or two is called for, surely. Give them water hand pumps as that will help so much.

[@chrisanderson5317]

Digging wells might work for some areas, but for much of Africa once a well has been dug it will only work for a year or so then breaks down because the equipment is not properly maintained or it is stolen.
