family works to near exhaustion collecting the show around the giant not. me therefore the one on one end of england i'm a bit of. a guide on what i mean obviously one of the guys know about that i am what you are on your woman with a phone line full of every photograph and handle. the shell that too heavy to be carried they have to be opened to extract the not that are exploited worldwide. chopping the shelves requires skill. the blade of the machete is shot and can be dangerous. if made with you. if. if.

and then about on the one that. i don't know i will be among the low water around them as i've gotten one of them i wanted one for the record to non-book arsala. i moved here a long while i was little. by the end of the day they filled two bags the brazil nuts but then much too heavy at this hour and they're going to haul it and as a a little going to. have the most of it but nature often provide solutions here for. five hundred. one. the tropical rain threatens to raise an old trade the price of the family decides

to leave the deep forest the scene as they can. on the way home the young couple who've known each other since childhood already knows that the bag of nuts will not provide enough money for the whole family and it's no longer possible to collect any more because the torrential rains will turn

the forest into a quagmire for weeks. since the death of his parents twenty six year old genco is the head of the family and has fifteen mouths to feed and. he had to give up his medical studies and claudia her dream. genco younger brother roma who's eighteen will go to university in his place but there's just been some bad needs there on the earth yeah the polytheists are. he. ok i think it's a hassle that erica voice. and you call it. a fee give us a loan they also love them to come to. flee

. looking for a solution janko tries to negotiate with the village co-operative for more than the usual price for a year that figure. can enter one to. one in. fifty dollars or twenty five cents a kilo one 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 might run off 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 cali. plant but in the month of may. despite his troubles a girl is happy because for once he won't make the trip alone. if. a taxi has just dropped off his son who 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. this. as he says there will be another. class.

you get when they get out of the motor me on the radio because if they are the real . deal with the feelings for you. when you. leave. the precious cargo of notes 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. jeffrey made him fall behind. get that label but yeah i thought it was fun but then once you get coming up with it what are you going to like. in three days time it's back to

school allen 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. it stung. more inclusionary from fall. you know we're going to miss our son shot. the dog has disappeared underwater. there are no boats to cross the river. the long

wait is frustrating. a 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 come and i don't know some of them but i know that when the pressure 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. and not buy them a gun. because well 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 . and get you know the owner of the truck and once he's paid off the hire the fuel and the food this trip will hardly make enough to live on. not very different camps i mean do you never get. there you mean during the filming on telly made during the gulf thank you for being with us was going on down. 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 knowns 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 no. miriam the director of the factory enforces measures to deal with this that. a lot of money is also in the form of a. little yes. i know but what. and inside a thousand workers mostly women are manually dissecting the notes. i began to think what that means is any good i mean if i get my money and said ok this is on the basis that it was a success i want everybody to get it you know whatever that.

was yes i mean. 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 very much feeling that is what. was. it was was a was it was a it was. the workers repeat the same mechanical action whole day long. but it was

. now. paid per kilo of shelled nuts the workers hardly ever rest and quickly develop illnesses. because. it will without. the brazil nuts will continue their journey to shops around the world where they'll be sold for around thirty dollars a kilo. has just learned that the road to lipans is flooded and impassable. he doesn't know how will get alan back in time for the new school year.

the unseasonable rains continue and the river bennie has now flooded. 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.

yes i mean that i do but i myself will come last. no so you want to hold them off but at the now as they. will not it's going to come in the but the. but it's what they see is special treatment that angers those who've been waiting for a day. or a little oh my god you know you know what i don't get it but i don't think your father. fed up with waiting ramiro risked everything. i. bet that's a risky and the same with a few dollars. i must have about how. he could easily be swept away by the cover of.

how. he was now get across a mountain area eroded by deforestation you're no good. to go from we barely go yes go. up the first dump where the kids are just out the meal . time you're not the man of it all. the motherhood up. and. down the coming of.

my children who must be without them because you know my husband with all. what i want what cars. the rain doesn't stone and bolivia's slowly sinks into a major natural disaster. ramiro is making slow progress towards the past. but now it's a whole hill that's went down over the road. to the. 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 that i have seen. this but get there but i believe that. a landslide has swept away the road as one hundred meters below. together that of there's another number up at an average of three eighty so that. does it not so much up the stairs and.

the travelers are angry they say the road was poorly constructed. maintenance teams are overwhelmed and a trying to open an alternative route to believe is in this moment in flux in a moment first of when of course you know at c.s.u. one never meant to let you have you know most of us with them but i was here for him before the. flood. and see course you must refuse he is against you and we think he will come with you this evening is the sea gives him time to say. if you're not in the official be a misstep yourself. 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 if you are convinced that all said i was one of them not to go. yeah no problem again it was a must. when i was terrified for the first never heard the term i thought yes i guess it's really going to matter you don't have a clue what to do with the funny then you know. when i hear your opinion about what is going great ok for me i think you can hear you just. can't accomplish jumping and never meet with i don't know if you become very seriously much of that because i just don't know if they do. but i want to do that i mean that's.

going to connect with the em for most of us he is the one nobody that's the best in . ramiro will have to wait he counts another four days before being able to continue . to lose. at three thousand eight hundred meters above sea level la pass the capital of the andes also suffers from flooding. to new. young alan made it back to class but was one week late. he and his father both flew home with help from the government. not to pour your money in can only pull will. shatter the book at dinner yesterday tell you and

you're not in a house with a stint with his truck stuck in the amazon edgar has no vehicle and has to earn a living doing odd jobs. for the money and negotiator just what open or much story asking him to volunteer years for this kind of this might go after which is a means for standard day for me for me despite its natural beauty. year after year the rains in bolivia continue to have an impact on people's lawns. all the stairs navigating dangerous rapids from the time we depart to the time we finish we're scared to the fish and i'm dicing with death. i'm afraid of falling i'm afraid of dying but if i don't go by coughing my family needed the men who go to the extreme just to make a living. you have to be a strong swimmer otherwise the surf and risking it all vietnam at this time on

al-jazeera. i provoked it or is it a lesson where on line we were in hurricane winds for almost like thirty six hours these are the things that you u.p.a. has to address or if you join us on sat i'm a member of a complex one but we struck up a relationship this is a dialogue tweet us with hostile a.j. stream and one of your pitches might make an actual join the global conversation at this time on al-jazeera.
