Deadliest Journeys - Afghanistan: The Wakhan Passage 

The little boys face when he got those red boots melted my heart. They have so little ,but at the same time seem very happy. Wealthy in other ways.

Beautiful Afghanistan 🇦🇫 respect from Mongolia 🇲🇳

Man that would be a tough life. Have to admire the strength and will of those people. Incredible.

I visited Afghanistan before the war w America and before their war w Russia. Afghanistan men, I like to say, were lean and mean. I’am from the States. The Afghan people are tough and resilient, they have to be and they are God fearing. I respect them.

this is just the best of humanity.... This is how it's supposed to go, despite the hardship. This is how we should treat each other.

Phenomenal. Absolutely astounding! The scenery combined with the isolation . And demonstrating how different their world is from… people with internet. Thank you for posting this.

"even though it is cold, i am still happy because i am with my parents.." For some reason, that just broke my heart.

Everytime l complain that things are not going well and life is tough i watch this video to remind what tough life looks like and that my problems are nothing compared to what these great people have to do to get by

Great piece of film. No fluff or repeated shots of the journalist themselves or dreadful music. So incredibly rare in the "look at me" RU-vid video culture. I am soon to travel through Afghanistan and I'm glad to have come across this video to balance the negative ones here

I been there with medical teams for 1 month and I saw a lot of problems unfortunately, I hope we can do something for these amazing people, they are very kind and hospitable with pure hearts, Thank you so much BADAKHSHANI people 😇💚

Great video with outstanding photography. Despite the hard way of life, these people appear to be very hospitable, hard working and willing to help each other. The road needs to be improved to provide much needed access of goods and medication. This is a kind of place that I would love to visit - the scenery and the people. If only if there was peace in Afghanistan!

Afghans are very hospitable and hard working people, thank you for such a beautiful video exploring reality of innocence people. ❤🙏🏼

Afghanistan is so beautiful. I wish the people would suffer no more.

Being Free is the main message ! Away from the Taliban ~ Wonderful movie of life for these wonderful people!

Watching from Ireland, excellent, brilliant, I could watch this all day. Thank you

I worked in Afghanistan for 5 years (Khost province 2008-2012). I enjoy these documentaries as I feel a little nostalgic and have a place in my heart for Afghanistan and the people/culture. There is a lot of good I can say about the Afghan people. I wish some of my countrymen could take some lessons from the Afghans in regards to many of their character strengths, but most of all their appreciation and contentedness for the simple things in life.

I am impressed with the camera work on this video documentary.

I'm watching from northeast India Nagaland...it's awesome 👍

Excellent, the Pamirs have witnessed generations passing through its corridors. Only the tough ones and resilient survive these rugged terrains. Best documentary ever...

These nomadic people are amazing. Tough genes and kind hearts toi!

Beautiful documentry never seen Wakhan before, long live Afghanistan 🇦🇫 from Bharat 🇮🇳

I have seen this documentary 100 times and still want to see it again nd again what a effort what a great documentary.

Thanks for the great documentary, much respect for these hardy people. The lad's priceless look of gratitude at 12:44 after he receives the red boots is heartwarming.

Love my country Afghanistan 🇦🇫❤😢😢😢😢

After seeing this I'll never complain about that pothole on main street again.

Wow...driving is both beautiful and tough☺ Beautiful because one gets to see many places...and tough because of the danger and there's maintenance of the vehicle along the way.🎊 it was wonderful to hear too from the child saying she's happy because she's with her parents inspite of the difficulty of their journey 💝

Cant appreciate enough of your effort guys , thanks a lot sharing us some of the rarest videos , it gives as Shukran , God have been kind tobus feeling... Thanks

Watching this documentary in 2024 from indian administered Kashmir,found this old man known as Haji an angel for the region.such a brave and courageous man. SALUTE❤

Many of today's youngsters should help out here for a year, they're all too self-absorbed and have no idea what a tough life is really like.

Thank you for this authentic documentary about afghanistan.

Absolutely loved watching the documentary 👍👍, that's the real Afghanistan free spirited

after the film one cannot help but root for these people. may modern tools help ease their suffering without diminishing their traditions. thanks. great documentary.

Thank you for such amazing documentary..

Outstanding video, salute to the maker. Hadji is a shrewd businessman.

It’s amazing how similar and different we are at the same time. Like underneath we are all striving for similar things but in very different environments

This is the ever best documentary I have seen in my life. It is awesome. Appreciated your artistic and wisdom. Big salute.

what a great documentary! Afghan people are a wonderful and diverse lot consisting of various ethnic and racial backgrounds. These people are speaking Farsi/Dari, which is the language spoken in the North of Afghanistan and across the country. Anyways, wonderful to watch the culture of the remote and honourable people of Wakhan Corridor.

My beautiful country 😍♥️🇦🇫

It was an enjoyable film, with people who are engaged with life and the world full-on. no time for depression, boredom, consumerism and nihilism in the modern world

Very tough people. I am very happy they have access to water, food and education. The fact that even girls can attend school there is just fantastic.

New Zealand 🇳🇿,, 2021,,February,1:28pm,,,Monday,,1st....One of the Best Experiences on RU-vid to Witness,,,to Watch and to Feel,,,Wow much Success an Respect,,,They are So Positive,,,Honest....

Great Documentaries Love them All 😃

Thank you for documentary on my beautiful country. Hindukosh, Wakhan corridor.❤

Love, hope, and dream for the Afghans...

Love these documentary's!

God bless afghan people love from India 🇮🇳

such admirable people in this video

that's an amazing documentary. the song that start at 6:51 is Iranian song, singer is MohammadReza shajarian. I'd like to mention this for people who may not be familiar with Afghan culture; they might perceive this as an Afghan song.

“On the other side of the world theyre trying to get to Mars, and look how we live here” Damn that hit different

thanks for this video, it's so interesting to see all those good people and their life survival from very different angle as not a usual thing this days on a mainstream media

Instead of stilted, and out of date textbooks, let’s use these videos and similar items to teach about world, culture and geography.

we need more of these documentaries

Thanks 👍 for such a wonderful documentary

Beautiful ❤️ my Afghanistan hope there peace one day

First viewer here from Kenya Kanairo City

خدایا بالای این بندگان فقیر مظلوم رحم کن زیندگی نیست جهنم است خداوند یار نگهداریتان باشد

Thank you so much for this amazing video! God bless you for all you do. I am a guy from the opposite bank of the Panj river. Yeah life is difficult in the mountains and you coud show it for all, how people are great to keep confidence in their life.

Wow, driving in Afghanistan is not for the faint hearted !

It is the ever best documentary I met my life.

Very good stuff, thanx.

Thank you, a beautiful film❤

These people seem very strong and honest. We in the west are weaklings compared to them.

Much respect for these people as we all take things for granted and obvious they do not

Amazing video!! I was there in 2004.. Amazing Afghanistan!!

though old or new...........its relaxing to watch the videos.......

Excellent video. Tough living there is an understatement. Interestingly, they understand and value liberty! God bless them.

Wonderfully done documentary. Excellent.

The scenery is magical!

You can only appreciate the old guy's carefulness and vigilance all those years being on this dangerous roads . Hope the young lad learns from him

Wonderful documentary keep it up sir 👏

Muy interesante, vidas duras, personas hermosas, muchas gracias

I'm only 14mins in, and love the video, I have immediately picked up on few subtle scenes which really moved me.. and gave me more appreciation and respect for the Afghanistan and its people. But the most moving part 6:29 was where you see the ultimate opposites of the universe in one frame: Desolate, cold, strikingly beautiful yet dead and uninviting backdrops, dangerous and violent environment for sure... against the innocent, undisturbed, happy and red faced, healthy and most importantly - laughing groups of children, playing in this hell as if it didn't exist. Look at the face of that girl, she is happy and healthy, what more can you ask of God or whoever to give you in life, other than that. You can almost hear the mountains muted screaming in anger, cause they cant make kids fear anything in their clueless childhood wanders.. yet they carry bags of flour, and they show family respect saying how they're happy cause thy're with the parents... imagine that. Imagine a kid in the west saying that.. they'd give him addarol and xenyx and on the short bus for sure. Second was how the old guy as tough as he is, shows a warm heart by extending credit, keeping tabs, but then - and this is hats off man respect- then he notes that credit was not necessary before, now it is, but that all those on the list are honorable men, showing the utmost respect and understanding for them.. and then he says they will pay him back, if in 10 years than fine, but they will.. wow. He knows he might be dead by then, so he pbbly does not even expect the money back.. but he also knows trat doing a good deed like that, well, it can only help once he's gone, being generrous can only help in the afterlife, still he helps not out of interest but simple and pure, human (not Godly mandated) honest desire to help.. by this is pure as pure can be and I bet the ones who owe him are doing all they can to pay him back and will return the favor somehow.. Last, loved the barter, I;'D LOVE SOME FUKIN CHEESE here taker the onions he got almost 20 kilos of killer cheese, you know how good that cheese is?? These guys simply do a few back forths and smile and go on their way, simple. They all basically live HAPPY, including kids, and even with Taliban and the wars, are actually happier in life than 90 % of us lost souls in the west... music saves me, though I';d go nuts.. or move over there to Afghanistan haha

This 1 is a good one Can't get enough of them😅

thank you a real eye opener

super exciting. this is the best i have ever wached.solute to your effort

Watching this you see how importance of leaving people alone in their own countries and cultures. Problems start when other cultures from far off want to impose themselves on others and describe other people's way of life, culture and language as primitive

kamaz 👍👍👍

Excellent film thank you

Best documentary....⭐⭐⭐

thank you, I enjoyed very much...

Great informative documentary about this most neglected area of Wakhan Pamir adjacent to Gilgit Baltistan Pakistan, congratulations from my side. Wakhan people is ismalilis by religion sub sect of shia muslims very moderate , their current Imam is Prince Karim Agha Khan. Developed countries specially Agha Khan foundation should come forward and help them to construct specially road and infrastructure.

Love the narrator's voice😃

Real masters.... God bless this people.

very nice. thank you.

Very interesting and informative video, peoples are stronger and hardship, nice video.

Some real country out there..

The caravans walking for 20days with that cold temperatures 🙉🙉🙉🙉

Absolutely astounding!

Great film, thank you. It made me think very much about what makes people happy or what constitutes a good life. Someone said a better road - I doubt it. They talked about going to Mars - probably not. I am not sure. But perhaps it is more something very personal. How you lead your life and how you think about it. Not necessarily how it really is (objectively).

The Afghans have some of the most beautiful eyes and skin i have ever seen..

Very interesting documentary.👍👍👍

great documentary, great peopel

I was there for a year, all young Americans should have to go see what these people go through to just survive.. it will make you appreciate what we have.

My lovely country 🙏😢❤️

Man I love these humble simple people ❤️

Nice Documentary

Afghanistan Land of bravery from kurdistan xaele xosha

Thank You.

Interesting/informative/entertaining. Excellent motion photography pictures. Enabling viewers to better understand what/whom the orator was describing. Looks to be a very unforgiving/hostile terrain to reside in. Interesting viewing the transportation of goods & travelers on Yaks. Special thanks to veteran truck 🚚 drivers. Sharing personal information/driving 🚗 experiences. Along with material drop off customers. Separating facts from fiction/making the documentary more authentic and possible. Not an occupation from the faint of hearted.

I love the background music.
