fly. fly. fly on the way home the young couple who know each other since childhood already knows that the bag of nuts will not provide enough money for the whole family fallen it's no longer possible to collect any mole because the torrential rains will tend the forest into a quagmire the weeks. since

usual prize. that figure. in the one. in. fifty dollars or twenty five cents a kilo won't be enough to pay for roma's university registration. lower rates ensure the bolivian harvest has continued to live hand to mouth. there's a consignment of nuts that my rough due to the moisture. to avoid losses i get must deliver them as quickly as possible to a processing plant. but he's just found out his tank is empty and he has to buy fuel from a colleague. planted in the month of may. despite

his troubles a girl is happy because for once he won't make the trip alone or even get. a taxi has just dropped off his son we haven't seen in months. to young alan his father's blue truck is amazing. from the moment this human point of view that i was coming. up with. me out again as he says there will be another. hand. here when they get up to the motive for me on the media because if you know where

the real. with the feeling here here's a little bit. bigger than. the precious cargo of no begins a perilous journey through the bolivian amazon to the capital la paz. edgar was divorced a year ago he lives alone and this trip during the school holidays is the only opportunity to see his son. just to make him. feel that way but yeah i wasn't all that then once you get to me i want that i want to be something. in three days' time it's back to school alan one thousand three hundred seventy kilometers away. if he's late as afraid his ex-wife will no

longer allow him to have his son. but it's the rainy season and the route through the forest has already flooded slowing the traffic. across a tributary of the amazon the rio beni. this year exceptional rains have caused massive flooding. and get this done. for inclusion they're fun fun. you know they're going to memphis and shot. the dog has disappeared underwater. there are no boats to cross the river. the long wait is frustrating.

the ferry struggling against the current finally arriving. at gare is one of the first to pull but there's not enough room for every one. moment that people from both coming but only time at the end of the day know. when the bus on. the bus is too long. so the sailors let the real wheels rest on the rusty fragile ramp. they usually try and get as many customers as possible on ignoring say.

with an old engine and a very strong current piloting the ferry is tricky. enough for them and gun. control don't know shit about looking for when they go for. the ferries no longer being pulled and begins to drift. it's dangerously close to the banks of the river. the steering cable is finally repaired and. at the last moment the pilot manages to safely guide the ferry across

the the. edgar is no the owner of the truck and once he's paid off the hire the fuel of the food this trip will hardly make him enough to live on. the ferry there was once again i mean do you never get. there you mean doing a film on telly meant that you got from history that this was going on down there. after three days and four hundred forty five kilometers eg it completes the first stage of his journey a river around town. isolated and near the brazilian border the small town grew as a result of the rubber gold and timber industry. today one hundred thousand people

live in these muddy streets and depend on the not processing plants for their livelihood. in this warehouse tons of the precious nuns arrive every day. because of the dam many will rot even before they're open. to be dried they have to be ventilated but since there's no breeze the employees are continually moving the mountain from nuns around. the operation is repeated at the other end of the warehouse. things that i love. that i want but. when they get the lighting. in this polluted atmosphere bacteria often contaminate the not.

miriam the director of the factory enforces measures to deal with this that. a lot of money is also in the form it would. be a lot of yes a. lot of it. and inside a thousand workers mostly women are manually dissecting the notes. i began to see what i mean since i'm a kid i mean if i get money and said ok this is on the basis that it was a success i was able to get it you know whatever that. was . in fact several members of the

same family are taking turns on a single machine. this family averages less than three hundred sixty dollars a month. who's on the eighteenth has worked here for two years was . it was a was it was. the workers repeat the same mechanical action old day long. but it was . now.

the main road to the capital is submerged. the country is split into. this year the flooding has been extensive with entire cities being affected. the bridge on the main road has collapsed and. the force of the waters makes matters worse. ramiro is transporting timber to the bolivian capital lipans. looking at the damaged bridge he weighs up his options. this time and then i do but i myself will come in last night so you want to hold

them off but at the now that's the. whole let's come into the front the plan. but it's what they see is special treatment that angers those who've been waiting for a day. world . oh my god you know what i don't get it but i don't think your father. fed up with waiting ramiro risked everything. to the best of several skinny and to see went back to the. families have a way about how. he could easily be swept away by the coverage.

that. he must now get across a mountain area eroded by deforestation you're no good. to go from we really go yes go go to. the first dump where the kids are the stuff that you know. that you're not the man of. where we didn't bother coming on. hand i would go the moment i get positive going without them because you know my heart going without what i want what. the rain doesn't

stone and bolivia's slowly sinks into a major natural disaster. ramiro is making slow progress towards the pines. but now it's a whole hill that's went down over the road. to a. civil hospital he thought he was impulsive at about how to begin to get that high but it does not. stop to look at any of it i have seen. this. at the bottom level i believe that. a landslide has swept away the roads up one hundred metres below. the benefit of there's another number up at an average one hundred eighty. to the. other not so much up the stairs.

to travelers are angry they say the road was poorly constructed. maintenance teams are overwhelmed and a trying to open an alternative route to leave is a good mr moment in quite good moments with the clinic or if you want to see us in one move i meant that i do obviously most of it with him but i was here for him before the. rough i got my hands and feet cause you must refuse you. again soon we can go on with this thing is still the sea gives him time to say. that's the storms you're not in the official be a mr sam. the trouble is have no choice. but to brave the danger.

stuck on the other side the truckers are fed up and now want to try them. you know you're. going to say one of. the number on the bus i must. want to cause i don't mind to remember her telling us that yes if. you know my mother you don't have a clue of what to do to find her and you know. when are you or your friend you know what is your screen ok from if you can get here you just. got a company jumping on and on with i know you're going to hear this it must mean that because there's so much they don't see. that i think that's. going to connect with the. most of this is when the when nobody that's the best in .
