probably saw the mileage. is up to you if i could cut the road so that it would do so no matter. what the labor is just over a dollar a day cutting and transporting the bamboo. but the bravest among them can make 10 times that much transporting the goods. would. be if you know already i didn't. know what the legal poet. if i need.

to i cannot do a little you know. we're going to. do on a lot more than a thaw the news that joy. and lucked out. on why found out that. we'll keep. him in the thought.

including laos which borders vietnam. after travelling 5000 kilometers from its source in the himalayas this is where the river vents its rate. over time it's carved out the cone fulls one of the widest waterfalls in the world . yet allow fisherman jump into the water without fear. part for me before the right one mile or one rule for a credit card card for proper care come get you if you are going to your didn't call our number but not god what if. some new knowing is 52. he says it's no coincidence he's never had an accident in 40 years. oh he got caught don't know if you need one but pull back out that about what bob would buy out by

a guy that has that could be why the media it would be at that by what the what. the full stretch over navy 10 kilometers. allow call this region see found don't the full 1000 on. land just south from the fulls and countless waterways of the mekong. this is a familiar hunting ground for. getting there takes good balance and steady nerves.

that work well on. the other. side. but that's about. it. i. might feel. but. it was my last. flight and i. fish

worried upstream. they eventually become trapped and will pull further down the river. set up on it but it. oh. yeah casts his net relentlessly and. why. they. all fit. me might.

not get out and on that i thought it was not in life if you want them back. i several families share the dangers of the rapids.

each has it's a fishing take i hope. noya and his colleagues catch up to 100 kilos pradesh using a remarkable method. i. love it not about. what i. feel but. the current pushes the fish into their ingenious wooden ramps all they have to do is pick the fish out of the woods.

the mekong is home to 200 different species of fish eye the largest of which are cool with a trap that must be set in the middle of the rapids i. was told. they got caught up like that hot hot hot. hot hot hot this.

cue. the the. 10 and i love to stand on the curb and i'm no good i don't look good i did not. want to get out of the box i don't want. to look i'm not. going to head up the queue.

one of you will. run but they had to kill the boy i don't think either of you know anything at all about it below is it up i said it was. good no. good would i lay in the light all by say he didn't want their. fears he got it but i. each year too will 3 fishermen i'll take on the make all. the law abiding want to me. he said do you know you're in this and i'm a cop. i don't. need a dollar. by law. abiding by law like a guy. oh my god i'd go but.

slowly the fish are disappearing. pesticides as well as a series of dams a largely to blame. in vietnam on the long river the bamboo raft as in smooth the world has the men take advantage of the calm to reinforce it. cuts as usually belong to the moment ethnic group. allies of the french and then the americans in the 2 wars that have shaken vietnam the hmong are still discriminated against. it's hard work for some of the lowest wages for you and me talk and when we where. does the we go a battle and you look like i don't know it yet and that. you're not going to do

a lot of the what you would then don't go to congress i'm told that i don't want to work that i'm going to go by dual numbers. as the water has become agitated the raft seen begins its mad rush. bought one. for. turning a run nearly 50 meters long. no easy task. in the distance lies the infamous ghost case one of the most turns in the river.

this time the ghost was leaning. on the last trip the raft was ranked against the wall. and its bamboo cargoes scattered into the river.

one song the song. a motor boat comes to help. the river bank marks the end of the trip. anybody. can give up on and again. and again. now go on to what i know like you have to be i guess though i don't know if. i can lead you to that if you doubt it to our day though it will be.

after 5 hours the bamboo finally reaches the processing plant. dirt tracks may well become a thing of the past in vienna. as one of the last communist countries to join the free market the country is throwing. this bamboo is near the end of its journey. seen consumers across via downfall put it to a variety of uses and the hard work of harvesting and transporting it will begin
