Excellent doc. The narrative dialogue is very effective. I wonder why many of the people are not wearing any kind of foot covering.

Everyone has a story, true success takes time. I pray every hardworking person reap the fruits of their labor.

Impresionant mod de viata si totusi nu isi pierd speranta ,merg mai departe ,nu se opresc . Sunt obisnuiti cu suferinta ,nu au alt mijloc de traire .Sarea pentru ei este numita Aurul Alb . Acesti oameni merita mult respect pentru truda lor .Dumnezeu sa-i ocroteasca si sa-i binecuvanteze .
