Ladakh, Hell Beneath the Wheels

Ladakh, the most northern state of India, situated at 5000 meters altitude, is one of the harshest environments in the world.

This road is one of the highest and most dangerous in the world; here even the slightest mistake can be fatal.

Liberia: The Deadly Monsoon Road Through Hell

With the very first images, the director plunges us into a living hell. Torrents of water, flooded road junctions and villages, a people drowning in torrential rain, overflowing drains. This is Liberia. Every summer the rainy season is one of the heaviest in the world. Within a few days, a deadly rain aggravates the difficulties of a country ruined by a devastating civil war. An avalanche of water wreaks havoc on every dirt road. Villages are cut off from the world. Despite the state of the roads, Fofana, a pick-up truck driver obsessed with money, decides to take penniless passengers through the jungle to the far side of the country. This journey in the face of the natural elements quickly turns into a nightmare and exposes the terrible conditions that Liberians live under. Showing prodigious ingenuity, everyone tries to get by as best he can. The disaster of the floods is a boon for those who help the victims in exchange for a few pennies. The pastors of a church turn the mass into a money-spinning lottery. In this incredible

Guyana, The Convoys of the Lost World

Guyana is a forgotten and mysterious country. Wedged between Surinam, Venezuela and Brazil, the sole English-speaking country in South America also continues to be one of the poorest and least populated on the continent. Anything can happen in this focal point for adventurers, cowboys and gold prospectors. Outside of Georgetown, the capital on the edge of the sea with the appearance of a colonial town, the rest of the territory resembles a lost world. The Amazon forest covers everything, slashed through here and there by enormous, winding rivers. Beyond the jungle is a vast plain, scorched by the sun in summer and inundated by water in the rainy season. Few will dare to venture into the inner country. And yet a handful of truck drivers take amazing risks to supply the gold mines and rare villages that are there with food and fuel. Aboard their Bedfords, former British Army trucks that have been fixed a thousand times, they must deal with roads full of potholes, cross hostile jungle and brave torrents of mud. Their journeys take them to areas that
