Vanuatu, against all odds

Les Routes de l'impossible Season 20 Episode 4

Overview:
In Vanuatu, a small archipelago lost in the vastness of the Pacific, paradise comes with the taste of a daily struggle. Cyclones, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and rising sea levels constantly threaten the inhabitants of a country considered one of the most disaster-prone in the world. On the island of Malekula, Bosko and his taxi ferry farmers, the sick, goods, and schoolchildren every week through a jungle where the slightest downpour turns the roads into quagmires. The only way to reach their destination is to put the passengers to work! They push vehicles stuck in the mud, move rocks, and more—spending hours on the road to cover just a few dozen kilometers. Here, mutual aid is often the only alternative to a lack of infrastructure. On Pentecost Island, some traditions seem frozen in time.
