A mythical road built by the Soviets to open up the Pamir region and subject it to the rule of the Empire. A daring journey suspended between earth and sky on what the Tajiks call the “roof of the world”. But since the Russians left in 1991, the road has not been maintained. The Pamir Highway is the route of all dangers: Rock falls, landslides, fords ... 900 kilometers on the side of the ravine.
Director: Daniel Lainé, David Geoffrion
It was my wedding. 😊Too bad they only showed a snippet. The documentary was great. Thank you so much.👍👏
Blessings from Finland. You are beautiful !
God bless these humble people!
I've traveled all around the world from my couch from watching these documentary.
The only way I can afford to travel
You may be the greatest virtual world traveler ever. God speed.
I'm amazed at just how many languages the narrator can speak - though who can tell what is being discussed, maybe he just makes things up.
@@voicezful Doesn't take much speculation that the narrator is using a translated transcript . Nor that it is substantially paraphrased into British idiom .
@@voicezful Probably Russian. Most people there will speak some Russian. In the Badakhshan autonomous region(the Pamir Mountain area), people there speak three different local languages, which is different from Tajik.
The truck driver was such a character.👍👍
Yes! Reminds me of the guys in my family who used to haul logs down out of The Siuslaw National Forest on the Oregon coast. They had that same half gutsy half scared look and never ever laff out loud 'cause the Gods might hear and put a widowmaker on your head!
those kids are adorable. Bless and protect the precious children.
Unbelievable , 32:14 looks almost like Mars ; the way how some people have to make do ,and scrape a living . These amazing docus keep one's own problems in perspective. A big thank you to the makers who often run big risks themselves.
What courage and stamina these people have.Fantastic video.
Because they have no choice.
Got to love the humility of these people.
beautifully directed...a long documentary.. and i watched it allll👍
Brilliant, he said it had no computer that was a true blessing.
Such incredible and humble people. Admiring their character and ethics. The Western society has a lot to learn from them.
yes, in example, moderate Islam
In the west we have the same weather as those people .Canada end USA.
Those kids were outside in the cold playing. You rarely see that in the U.S. these days. Who wants to play outside and have fun. Guess it's easier to stay in the house. Play computer games, texts your friends, eat s'mores. And never leave your bedroom.
Stop generalizing people
Watching from Kenya🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
The steering of wheel of the Kamaz, comes from a hungarian Ikarus bus.
That was absolutely brilliant. Always nice to find one I haven't seen before. Those Tajikis are a tough people wearing really light clothes at -20
And allways adidas track suit Who supply them? :D
Just a wild guess , but from the geography and the economics , probably Chinese knockoffs .
@@filianablanxart8305 No need for wild guess. You'll find Puma, Nike, Adidas Chinese knockoff everyone there is wearing.
The Temperatures are hugely exagerated, the lake wasn't even frozen.
@@pierreheider4581 No sure if you have visited these places. But the village Alichur is located near 4000m above sea level. Even in the summer, temperature will drop to -10C after sun set. And it is -25C in the winter. The condition there is really as tough as the video describes.
RESPECT FOR THOSE PEOPLE!!!!
Another episode that shows you don't need to have tons of money to be happy in life. It's all about enjoying what you do and spending time with family.
I'm sure the air filter cleaning at the beginning really made a difference.. 😁
One of the song music is from Indian song. Jeena yahan marna yahan, iske siva jana kahan.
Thanks to the truck driver driving in dangerous way salut
Vou parar de reclamar e vou agradecer mais abração povo unido 👍👍👍🤝🤝🤝🇧🇷
Hats off to you Garrett
Some of sound track is from Afghanistan singer calling Ahmad Zaher . He was one of the notorious singer in Afghanistan but unfortunately he was on trap and lost his life in 80s Rest In Peace. Every time I hear the sound track my tears come out . But I'm living far away from Afghanistan. I'm living in Iceland They translate the language exactly the same thing this is absolutely incredible. What he speak Farsi they translate exactly in English
Wow that route, hats off to this real life tough guy!
Your last upload on Guinea doesn't have audio, people trying to message you

Already upload in free documentary.Thank you.
and again, I see the same things... how many of those drivers has any winter equipment ?
Looking at this drivers I will try to remember them when I will get some issues 🙂 just to not complain so much
wow...
Very nice story
That russian truck kamaz is a beast .. no doubt.. I too have drive it ..
Love from Papua New Guinea 👍💯🚛

Watching from Philippines
37:32 Reminded me of my first excursion into Albania stopping off to refuel at a station I was amazed to see the pump attendant guy sitting puffing away on a cigarette!
It's diesel, doesn't care of fire
Good thing diesel has a high flashpoint. Our JP-5 that we use in our Naval aircraft and in support equipment is a type of diesel, for the most part you can throw lit matches into a large pan of it and it won't catch on fire. But if you have enough fumes coming off of it on a hot day, it will. 😁
Русский грузовик, русский бульдозер, русские построили дорогу, русские ушли. Виноваты русские. Всё что нужно знать об англосаксах.
@5.45 why would you put a unreliability badge on a KAMAZ?????
not to be stollen by smart guys
What is the name and the artist of the last song on video please and thank you
nice
This was America in the early 1900’s
My wishes to all the Tajkis there, from India. We live comfortably here and go on create trouble for other section of people and try to muscle them of those who cannot retaliate in same.
You are still supporting Modi who we consider anti Islamic/islamophobic
Magic.
Watching from Hawaii
Only the strong survive…. What a life !
تاريخ كم تم تصوير المشاهد هاذي ؟
In spite of his own dire circumstances and situation, the Tajik Driver, comments on the sorrier state of Afghans and the Afghani women's sartorial situation. This proves that Freedom is the Oxygen, which is more valuable than anything else, including wealth.
May God protect them Ameen
I follow a live streamer at twitch.He is a german with his family and try to drive the Pamir Highway to Kirgisistan this time in a Mercedes Sprinter Motorhome and must give up after the Pass in 4200m, because the Diesel has frozen by -21 degrees.Never think, that can get kerosin there, to put in the car.
Watching from Ireland
Watching from Ireland too. I remember that road. I spent a 7 months driving artics along it. Damn scary when there's another artic coming against you as you're right at the edge
How do you dilute diesel with water. 6:25
Thanks for this great doc.These people are my brother and sisters. I am iranian and for me is painful to see they suffer. Thank God they are happier than Iranians, that's because .No mula rolls the country.
The guy doing the commentary has no filter . “Tajikistan is like it’s bus terminal it’s in ruins “
None needed.
These central Asian countries had a better life and prospects with Russia than now being left to fend for themselves.
Nop
Tajikistan is the worst of them. Without much of natural resource, and foreign investment, there aren't many opportunity there. A quarter of the male working population is working as cheap labour in Russia, sending remittance back to Tajikistan. The total annual remittance equals almost to half of the country's GDP. Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan are doing better, as they are the major producers of cotton, and fall in to part of China's Belt and Road Initiative. And Kazakhstan has load of coal, gas and oil. Yes, Kazakhstan is doing a lot better than many developing countries.
Almost none of the republics faired well after the collapse. With a centralized government, most of the production and manufacturing was in Russia. Construction equipment, materials, expertise were brought to places like this to build infrastructure. Once the USSR fell apart, the newly formed countries had no access to the industrial capacity of Russia. They can't even maintain what was built 60 years ago. Similar situation in African countries, after the Europeans have left.
This video is on at least 2 other channels.
2 other sister channels.. I guess for more youtube revenue
*@Bill Prudehome* So are countless of others. At least these deserve to be seen by as many as possible .
good one 👍♥️
When was this documentary shot ?
Certainly after 2000 .
2007-2008
In 2010
whats with the benz logo?? lol
That company actually customizers current Vehicles it's probably a old Benz truck outfitted to do whatever they wanted to do
👏👏👏
KAMAZ with Mercedes badge ! 🤣🤣
yup its a blasphemy
@@panospapadimitriou3498 Actually Mercedes own 15% of Kamaz and there's now a new Kamaz model with Mercedes engine.
Poor people tries so hard to make living 😢
What kind of hat is the older gentleman wearing at 4:05?
Wueh! Human beings have the mettle to survive anywhere in the world.
8:00 my guy is over the clouds now
fun fact. Im afghan and i can understand like 90% of the stuff they are saying.
خو 😂
آفغان های نمیدانت لهجه های تاجیکی ره
The Taliban allows internet there?
i like the way to discribe the afghan women and he laugh at the end............ and he is right. its ridicilus
That Because they were Afghani but they Sold themselves to Russians for Money and Material and still they don't have anything lol
As a people that lived in a tropical country, I never imagine how they deal with the cold
They probably wonder how we deal with the heat lol. Ive seen someone say 20 celcius was too hot before when its cold for me at 25 celcius lol
The "toilet" is outside of the house, usually some distance like 30m away. A toilet there is just a deep hole in the ground, four mud walls and some dry glass as roof. Imagine someone needs to go to toilet during the winter night when it is -30C outside. Or during a summer thunder storm.....yes, there are plenty of holes in the roof and the walls.
Seems like I already watched this documentary from FREE DOCUMENTARY KZhead channel like 1 months back
You did.
Yes, you're right.
*@just saying* What does it matter ?.....many docus or music videos are posted again and again. Interesting documentaries like these you can watch three times. There's so much to see.
Pamir the Roof of the World
37:20 Diesel fuel isn't dangerous. its not like gas.
Thats right it came a bit hysteric in dok when the speaker comment on the dangernes of the fire, You can light the fire direct at the disel it will not burn
IT combusts under pressure
amazing
%99.5 people are literate 👏
These great people need drivable roads at the least, government should get busy!
32:49 jeena yeha.. Marna yehaa
This video i see another channel befor 1 year
My cousin lost his arm after He fell asleep in the snow
I cycled this road in 2017.
I used to drive artics along that road many moons ago. Damn scary when there's another artic coming against you. Not to mention the danger of falling rocks
O my
At the end he used the old trick.The road is broken but ill take the goods for you that way i have a excuse to see the lady that lives at the end of the road.Yoy know?
i wonder what it's like as the camera man
17:45 looks like driving race car 🚗😂😂
A Mercedes’ symbol on a kamaz…nice…
Needs some forced induction for the high altitude.
Wrong. Turbo won't last a month in these condition. These trucks are rugged and primitive, but it is the only way to survive in these harsh condition. That truck should be Kamaz 53205 from the '70. Kamaz trucks are regarded as the strongest in the world.
@@stirbiuliu8048 Lots of cars with turbos there. Just make sure to keep the airfilter in good condition. Like lots of the SUVs we saw had turbos, aswell as alot of the trucks. Kamaz trucks last a long time. But thats altso cause they have abyssmal performance. A simlar Scania engine gives you 500 horsepower, while Kamaz gives 350 horsepower. Kamaz uses more fuel and has way less torque. If you underpower the Scania engine to those specs, it will altso last alot longer.
Hard life for these ppl, nothing seems easy.
And others complain about toilet paper availability
Especially single ply vs double
I laughed so hard when he said, "the bis terminal is a reflection of the country"
Very handsome teacher He has a few students
Having to pay a euro per litre....my goodness! Somehow I thought it would be cheaper. Gotta give it to them.
Typical media over dramatizing. diesel isn't flammable
Watching from somaliland
Please make video for Pakistan also
Corruption, lack of National interest and Self Desire by the Government are the things which is stopping this country to flourish, Fortunately we have a Great leader after 2014, who is showing us the way, Otherwise we would have been the Same. I am from India and I remember that we had the same problem such as underdeveloped infrastructure, Mismanagement. Corruption, Poverty and and Absolutely no interest about public welfare is what made us the underdeveloped. Fortunately we have a stable Government now who is looking the matters aa if this is the matter of their own interest.
this documentarys make the drama way way bigger than reality... warming up diesel isnt any problem until it reaches 84º... we do it all the time. temperature is not lower than -10º otherwise they dint have open shirts, and thin jackets...
The flashpoint of diesel fuel is 125°so nobody was in any danger
Similar people as afghans but when they are not oppressed, they are living a much much peaceful lives than their neighbours.
Video supprimé en français, pourquoi ?
These people are strong when compared to north American
KAMAZ Truck with Mercedes benz logo 😃
And westerners are complaining about... almost everything when those pół are happy about all little things... Have you seen elementary book?? They do not worry about gender, proun etc nonsense... Watch and learn to appreciate what you have.
Somebody should bring them tire chain technology...🤣
Well, if you noticed, he actually did have chains. They're not stupid, but it only helps so far.
It seems like an easy solution
27:34 Is that a joke? Is Borat hiding somewhere???
I wonder if the people who make 💰 of this help these drivers i know the answer
