Sumatra, Cursed Treasures - Deadliest Roads

Video Description

In the vastness of the Indonesian archipelago, Sumatra occupies a special place. There are 60 million people living on the sixth largest island in the world. Agriculture is its source of wealth, but it is also its worst enemy. A third of the inhabitants depend on work in the fields. To avoid taking the rutted tracks, Masinis uses the old railway line which dates from the beginning of the 20th century, but is it faster and safer? For his part, Rudi the taxi has nothing to envy of this ailing train: the minibus driver transports six passengers over 80 km and the road is in the same state as the old railway line.
