  • its so sad what they go through, we have it easy! and yet we still complain

  • Someone should tell the BANKERS how much some "run for their money" just to live!

    Fucking sons of bitches!

    It's all about the money!

  • PRECISELY!!! It's all about money, and everybody seems to be ok with it...

    ZEITGEIST NOW!!!

  • two words: Birth control

  • How is it that such a rich, large country has such high levels of poverty?

    One of the explanations without doubt is endemic, historic corruption.

  • @GarotadaDireita I'd say it's HUMAN NATURE!

    Humans are the biggest disaster to hit this planet!

  • At the moment I am staying in Panama , living conditions are harsh here for kids too , i work here allready for the third year in the same school , and come over every year for about 3 months  on my own expenses , but ... these kids are so happy even being extremely poor , it makes it worth doing this

  • I run a gaming community and I wish I could round up the little pricks are show them documentaries likes this for hours till they realize how well off they are.

    My kids watched this and felt ashamed even at their young age. Most kids in the modern world should be round up and send to labour camps.

  • The kindness of the woman at 14:25 makes me want to hug her !

    She reminds me a bit of my mother.

    And that's not a tear in my eye, it's dusty behind my laptop

  • Thanks Al Jazeera for telling this story. Very sad but its reality.

  • The artistry and skill, as well as bravery, to pull this off repeatedly, is world class. They say they are shaking with fear but they evidence smiles and ease. If I were harvard I'd be handing out MBA scholarships to every kid that made it aboard and made a sale. These kids are truly driven entrepreneurs.

  • someone should teach poor people to pull out once in awhile

  • e vocês reclamam da vidinha que tem na cidade !

  • Comments section full of people who think they can dissect the Amazon's reality because they've seen this video. Why are Americans and Europeans so simple-minded?

  • @RafaelFernandeSantos Very welll siad Rafael. The fact that some people get to eat food (and waste more of it) in the West thinks they can solve any problem. They are inside a cocoon totally oblivious of the world's realities.

  • @RafaelFernandeSantos So you are not simple-minded in generalising about European and American people's intellects, based simply on a few people's comments under a youtube video? To be perfectly honest my friend it seems that most people are just trying to voice their concern and outrage after seeing people living in terrible conditions. What is wrong with that? No one is claiming they can sort out these peoples' lives or truly understand these peoples' suffering.

  • Older brother is no good, dragged his younger into it because he was good on a boat.

  • these kids are very brave 

  • Brazil, BIG country

  • Respect for all the kinds working for their family!

  • People should be thankful for what they have mostly American people that have everything....

  • Jesse is a hero in my eyes and he is a very brave young man. May he rest in peace.

  • Like if you got in tears when they said that Jesse was kill ,,, R.I.P Jesse , you are in a better place now :'(

  • @martiny458 When the guy said it I was like "wait... WHAT!?!"

  • Jesse made me ashamed of myself.

  • r.i.p jesse....u r like an hero of a movie...

  • the fat dip shit of US who eat in mcdonalds need to watch this.

  • @dhiravk trust me it will make very little difference, most would just laugh only a few would help and they would be ostracized as bleeding heart liberals.

  • So here i am browsing around Youtube, then i stumble across this video....and after watching it i can honestly say that it broke my heart .....Jesse's story really shocked me! he was so brave and full of determination for a 14 year old boy, and i find it very sad that he died trying to make a living. ''i didn't know you Jesse but i love and respect you, REST IN PEACE''.

  • RIP Jesse... at the same time, please teach the people about birth control and provide them the means, because poverty+medicine=large, hungry, uneducated families

  • R.I.P Jesse and another 50,000 deaths per year in Brazil, caused by poverty.

    R.I.P Jesse! Smart kid wasted.

    Al Jazeera, Congratulations for the initiative, we will disclose that video on the internet and hopefully sensitize officials and powerful people

  • For who don't know... That kids are abused in boats like thats. So many kids change sex for rests of food. The beautiful plate with food what the kids received isn´t the reality...

  • Despite of all this misery, the brazilian politicians are only concerned with illegaly enriching themselves. Brazil is NOT a poor country is a country of Thieves politicians.

  • What an unbelievably sad fate for Jesse. Poor kid. He never got the chance.

  • Population is certainly a concern but so is efficient use of resources. So much food is wasted around the world and money splashed on non-essential stuff. Hardly gets to people who can use it the most.

  • aye jessi why would u fuck up like that

  • RIP jesse. you in a better place....

  • да оце блять єбашуть

  • i feel sorry for Jesse, i hope he's in a better place!

  • @Nikola021 ik me dude! if i worked i would take care of him trat him like a son to me. : ) <3 y can we just get along!!! we r all the same!! GOd made us!!!

    

  • @Nikola021 How about if they start to think about ther over reproduction and have 2 kids instead of 12?

  • If you don't have enough food to eat, I would say it its unwise to have 12 children. But what do I know. It's a sad and beautiful world.

  • @jackuppercut Dunno if condoms etc are usual so i think it's hard not to get kids

  • @logonq Well if they didn`t had any sex they wouldn`t have the same problem.

  • @jackuppercut To poor to buy condoms.. And they dont get information about and stuff like that. And the parents wants to have sex, are you saying that they shouldt love eachother??

  • @anemozen they should pull out

  • @jackuppercut She also mentions that her husband is too old to work, (so the only people working in the family are the children) alot of kids is a penison of sorts

  • @jackuppercut i heard the only reason they do that, is to increase the chance of getting out of poverty - more kids, more opportunities or something.

  • @xxlachey That's exactly the real thing. I'm from Belem, that is mentioned in this video and as most of people from Pará (State), I do know those things. You all have to remember that, even in Europe or US, some time ago people used to have lot of kids. Imagine that those people 'didn't come' to present time. They're still right there in the past, doing exactly the same things their parents and grandparents used to do. It's an infinite loop.

  • @jackuppercut You idiot! The children is their workforce! They don't get rich by having 1 kid and saving! This ain't America. The more children you have, the bigger your workforce.

  • @kawola17 They don't give a fuck about their kids. Brown people need to be responsible.

  • @rp1dmc so all brown people are not responsible?

  • @jackuppercut I'm hip to that. I'm also amazes at the ingenuity of human problem-solving. We can't judge by our own values what we are watching these kids do; I just marvel at their willpower. Life is a wild gift.

  • @jackuppercut they have children out of love, and it also increases the chance that one or more will be able to go to school (something we take for granted here in the u.s.) if one gets a good job they are able to help there familys. From what I see they are unselfish and follow god. I have been to brasil twice and the people are extreemly friendly. Dont get me wrong I am not bashing your post.

  • @jackuppercut Absolutely, why would people have that many kids when they can barely take care of themselves?

  • Easy answer for someone who is still connected to the matrix... If those families had a proper education and basic human needs, nothing of this will happen... but this is a daily reality because is part of the current system.

    ZEITGEIST NOW!!!

  • Um lado impressionante do Brasil, realmente.

  • al jazerra is the best i wish i got it on basic cable in canada they charge us for aljazeera over here fuck rogers
