Life on the colorful island of Java is dominated by the temperamental Kawah Ijeb volcano, the supply of life, and sometimes loss of life, on the island. Porters scale a drop of over 2000 metres to get to the centre of the volcano, the place they collect sulphur. They load as a lot as 80kilos onto their backs earlier than a painful trek again up the volcano. They cowl their mouths with scarves to attempt to defend themselves in opposition to the deeply poisonous fumes which burn the lungs and eyes. They’re paid in line with the burden of the sulphur they handle to convey. Two 80 kilo deliveries make for a again breaking 11 hour day and a wage of 8 euros. We meet the individuals who dwell and work from the volcano, who endure such harsh circumstances in an effort to feed their households and ship their youngsters to highschool, in order that they could have a greater life sooner or later. –

I'd get a load of rocks at the top of the slope and paint them yellow lol . Make a fortune
Just watching all that toxic smoke has my asthma flaring up .. I couldn't imagine being anywhere near that place ….these guys are tough as nails
just think of all the stuff we throw away, all the clothing and shoes/boots,
We must always be thankful for what we have in life. The life you complain about is what most people dream about.
The rich will always take advantage of the poor
Omg we all here in the US need to send them the right stuff thy need to use that ain't right
After this…me never compain about the work i Got…Jah Help Them….

They take high risk to make a decent living, pay a deadly price for their family yet they take pride in earning a "halal" wage.
Bahasa Indonesia
No matter how hard your life is there is always someone who's got it tougher than you. God bless these poor folks

God bless these men I hope there way of life gets better and they can live a better life
Man these people are working in god awful conditions…they have my respect, hopefully by now they have protective gear and better wages.
I walked up and down this mountain one night in March (just before covid lockdown) using the same path as these miners. The rule on the path is that hikers must always yield to the miners, for obvious reasons. The sulfuric gas can be overwhelming at times (depending on the thickness and direction of the wind), but masks help a bit. As for the miners, they are truly remarkable. It’s at least a 3 mile trek. The steepest and most treacherous parts (going down to the crater to get the sulfur) is crazier than it looks here. Slippery rocks and rubble, steep and twisted. Blue flames shoot out of the holes at the bottom of the crater, which is why people go at night. If you are ever in Banyuwangi, East Java and want to visit Kawah Ijen you can book a room at Jiwa Jawa hotel. They’ll drive you to the mountain (departing at around 1 a.m) and then drive you back in the morning. They even pack a decent boxed breakfast for you. Aside from the rock path down to the crater the hike is not too strenuous, though you should consider your footwear. And take your time. It gets busy, so you need to be conscious of others (who sometimes slip and crash). They also have rickshaws for hire, should you want to be carried up and down the mountain. Whatever you decide, you will see what is shown in this video (though the views in the morning are difficult to capture via camera alone). 🌏 🏝 🌋 🔥 👀
As ordinary people in Indonesian in another island , I feel very sad to watch this heartbreaking struggle for life…there has been many proposal to the local government to end this kind of unhuman jobs….but there has been positive respons yet. On the other hand this volcano in East Java has been a popular destination for backpacker tourists including from Europe, USA and the other werstern countries. Any solution?
(correction) ..there has not been any positive action/solution from local government yet…
Interesting documentary. For what purpose are volcanic sulfur stones? I do not understand? Hello everyone… sympathy to see them work hard for money to live.😔😔😔
The thing we fear the most is when our family at home can't eat. The wife does not have food and the children cannot go to school.
We try hard so that the family at home can continue to eat. And our children can go to school as high as possible, so they can get better jobs than us.
Living life is tough, but give up is not an option. 🇮🇩
Watch this documentary once a week and you will never complain about anything in your blessed life. This world is really an unfair place for many.
At 25 minutes "Andy" never complained about his work to his family. What a real man! I will never complain again.
I can't believe something like this actually happens
The salty prison coincidently miss because sense congruently fax except a thoughtless missile. black, parsimonious license
Who else just started randomly watching this during lockdown and is now addicted
Greating from borneo indonesia 🇮🇩
Always the rich use the meat of the poor to enjoy. , while the poor find nothing.
They are worked more than live stocks. They work without gogles, gas masks, gloves and appropriate shoes…..And they have to carry the heavy load on the most dangerous terrain. I feel so bad….
