[AppolloSky]

Aww, the dad made me so sad ;_; He just wants a better life for his kids.

[Kvokki]

[FlamingNinja24]

The kid with the weed leaf on the back of his beanie at 2:05 knows what's up.

[ByAllahsCommand]

I wish i lived in his world..A very admirable guy.A true definition of hard work and simple yet happy life.

[eegphalanges]

Beautiful country and admirable people.

[gabigowriel]

we should send a FAT ASS BANKER to work there about 1 month!

and pay him with 180 dollars for the whole month!

[rabbitt911]

amazing. where do they find all that energy? i wouldn't last there for a week, not to mention a whole month.

[futurecomputergeek]

@rabbitt911 the coca leaves! No but truly this was a beautiful video. I couldn't last either!

[lifeisblackandblue]

16:01 YOU NEVER RUN OUT OF THINGS THAT CAN GO WRONG ... This guys are the living proof...God bless you!

[KeySour]

@lifeisblackandblue Obviously god hasnt blessed him if hes in this position. noob

[dariopy]

This is the most moving documentary I've seen in years. These guys are true heroes. Kudos to Al Jazeera for the excellent production.

[mannatuu]

god these people are great !! I wish they were my friends . Examples to all of us slobs in the West

[GhettoDiner]

These people have spirit and hope which we in the first world do not have

[cherishbetina]

Very hardworking people.. I cried.. I wish there could be more people as hard working as them.. :'(

[awlombana]

@cherishbetina So terribly sad to see how hard he works, how he takes risks for practically nothing but yet... he keeps his smile and his head up... always thinking how to provide enough to feed his family with the hope that his two sweet girls make it so they can have a better life than his... Good man!

[iPelonn1]

[A1R5N1P3R]

Umm, so they see the investment of cables and pulleys pay off, yet they refuse to make proper harnesses and buy or make gloves? Short bus time... Great system though, but it was one mans vision.

the cheap labor force for Coca Cola Company Corporation

[laetrille]

I couldent put my son at risk like that, the fright would kill me.

[starmanskye]

GREAT Vid! I've never seen something like this before. The vid is a real tribute to rural peasant integrity, courage, hard work, determination, struggle & hope for their children. The 'crash' of coffee prices tho, now THAT'S a real hoot since chain-market prices for US coffee is about $10 a pound -- Thanks to corporate bosses whose gangster practices squeezed producers & rigged the market, so farmers get a small portion of what their crop is worth -- same in so many instances. OCCUPY GLOBAL!

[clamchowder2010]

Age 72? He is a crazy old man......

[Yojimbo707]

The prime ingredient of Cocaine is the same prime ingredient of Coca-Cola secret's ingredient. Those corporations who control the production of Coca leaves, are the same organized criminals. Or are they fighting for the control of the coca production? I don't think so. The CIA control it and run the continental cocaine drug trade using cuba as jump board and terrorizing Mexico through secret fast and furious black operations

[reynalrl]

Q collas e mierdas son mas feos q un mono no planten mas cocas invesiles

[XS7SXSNIPER]

@reynalrl pues no tenen de otra estupido, es como los gringos les desen a justedes mexicanos ke no agan drogas pero ustedas mensos lo asen.

[BOLIVIAHOYYSIEMPRE]

BO, BO, BO, LI, LI, LI, VIA, VIA, VIA...¡¡¡VIVA BOLIVIA, TODA LA VIDA!!!...SE REITERA SIN CESAR...=D

Amazing! I am planning a trip to South America in 2014 and Bolivia is definitely one of the few places I want to visit.

[openaccessuser]

"You never run out of things that can go wrong" LOVE THE SHIRT.

[franzjimenez1]

How can I find Severo? I would like to help his family somehow when I go to Bolivia.

[salsa02]

@franzjimenez1

you can just probably to the area they mentioned and ask for him..

in these kind of places all of the people tend to know each other.

when are you going? if you dont mind me asking. i am going there soon as well.

[franzjimenez1]

@salsa02 I will be there Dec. I think. ....But I am staying cause that is my country.

[salsa02]

@franzjimenez1 hey I'm from there as well, cant stay but im also going in December.. ill be going to la paz you?

[franzjimenez1]

@salsa02 Voy a cocha.

Tal vez puedas avisarme cuando estes ya en Bolivia, y coordinamos .

[salsa02]

@franzjimenez1 Sí voy a estar allí el 19 de diciembre. Me voy a quedar allí por un mes

[JosephKrammer]

No entiendo que dice ese nene :D

[OMBIC]

lol its just another days work 4 them, the zippy lines make it all the more extreem,

[metkick]

nice Sebero has some balls keep it up !!!

[SPS148669]

Freaky ziplines. Too bad one of them de-roped.

[deidy123]

I am so happy I stumbled on this documentary. My family is from Bolivia and I can't wait to show them this as I would love to buy the Cocalero's some safer equipment. I am always amazed of my country's hard working people :)

[nbond1986]

@deidy123 The cocaleros are the reason that all these forests are being destroyed. I live in Bolivia, and I see the damage and pollution being done by coca farming. Drive through any part of the jungle, and you'll see bags of "pasta de coca".....the preliminary product that is sent to cocaine labs. The process for making this involves sufuric acid, acetone, and ammonia....which is then drained into the rivers. There are hardly any cocaleros who grow the coca leaf for medicinal use anymore.

[thunderpaki1]

today i forgot all the politicians and big celebrities of the world. . i became a big fan of this guy .. i feel in my heart that i owe him something. . . just see the hard work he does for 180 bucks only. . . i can't even imagine a life im living. . i never knew this part of world existed too. . .im a big fan of urs sir. . ur a true hero . a definition of hard working. . an example for those who are not thank ful for what they got. . . a big failure for politicians though :)

[MrMaverickOne]

@thunderpaki1 you saved me from typing. :)

[hippa2dahoppa2]

your definately right one that one! this guy should win father of the year. i think if us americans had more parents like this our generation wouldnt be so fucked up and uncaring. half of america is on anti depression pills and has anxiety. i wish i could donate some pullys to them or something

[moviematcanada]

@hippa2dahoppa2

They need real harnesses not a freaking towel or bed sheet, that is the craziest part.

I wish I could help too....

[marsharent]

Just wow, this is really something else. Thankyou for making this, I had no idea

[BCAlison]

Very inspiring story and it shows the creativity of human being to do things more efficiently.

классний фільм

[bam10333333]

I love this videos :D Favorite one so far is the Pakistan truck drivers.

[hackeroverclocker]

Excellent video. Absolutely amazing production.

[helmut345]

Man of the year. No doubt.

[5nereus]

These people are one of the good people in the world.

[fathuwalallaaa]

the 1 dislike was the woman who didn't buy the coca

[shussey100]

This poor hard working man, I really feel for him.

[Firgutt]

Wow, this video was amazing...

Why? They actually had a stuffed pikachu on their TV at 23:48!!! AWESOME! :O

[Yora21]

Cokaine isn't a narcotic.

[TheTwisterMusic]

@Yora21 it's a drug

Bolivia: The worlds next ziplining hotspot.

[Flugabwehrkanone]

At the beginning they are using the same twisting cable sound effects as during the elevator scene in "Speed" (1994).

[bam10333333]

@Flugabwehrkanone lol wut

[Flugabwehrkanone]

@bam10333333 Remember after Payne blew the elevator and the cables were twisting around? Same sound effect here.

[bam10333333]

@Flugabwehrkanone Well it's not like they got the same sound from that movie. They didn't edit the video to get the same exact sound... My point is any one can replicate the sound because it's normal.

[wrxwrx1]

awesome video

[Kolokheke]

Thats amazing...a trully life in its fullest...makes me think of hardship at home as well when you carry those big bags up mountains and valleys...

[863Nado]

hes a good example of being a hard working man

[McMuffin752]

@863Nado and good father

[insaneshane83]

Great video. Bolivia looks like a beautiful country. I always pictured Bolivia to be one big desert, but to my suprise there's jungle there too. Looks like that country would be worth visiting someday.

[lordennis01]

6:24 is that a rifle?

[brianlongshore]

An awesome video. I understand the coca culture of the Andes in a way I never understood before. It is an absurd policy of the US to spend billions to spray herbicides on the coca plants of other farmers such as these in Colombia, Equador, Peru etc. It is clear why farmers such as these become antagonistic to the US.

[livefortruth101]

Thanks for posting this.

[chubbywater5]

This was freakin' awesome. Great job.

[TheRealAlfy]

Sahverro seems like a great and hardworking husband and father of two. Props to him

[ChillpointNews]

Wonderful documentary. It must have been some journey to make it with both joy and fear!

[Dogar230]

I think Bolivia is a pretty cool guy. Eh rides sky cables and doesn't afraid of anything.

[idid0urmama]

great documentary

hands down

[AquaticApe1]

16:02 That guy's shirt: "You never run out of things that can go wrong". LOL!

[simonk512]
