Banana is the most popular fruit, or rather,00:00:21
the most popular berry in the world.00:00:24
90 percent of bananas on our shelves00:00:27
are bananas from Ecuador.00:00:29
Some 30 years ago, bananas were00:00:31
an exotic delicacy and curiosity for you and me.00:00:34
But now, it is a familiar and inexpensive00:00:36
product that can be found all year00:00:38
round in any grocery store.00:00:40
At the same time, information about the00:00:43
chemicals that are used to grow those same bananas00:00:46
is increasingly popping up in the news.00:00:49
Media reports about poisoning,00:00:50
illness and even death caused by pesticides00:00:52
among banana plantation workers.00:00:56
Today, we have to figure out whether Ecuadorian00:00:59
bananas are useful or dangerous and whether00:01:01
we can eat them.00:01:14
'The World Inside Out' with Dmytro Komarov. Ecuador.00:01:18
To find out the whole truth about Ecuadorian bananas,00:01:20
we need a person who is personally familiar with00:01:23
the process from the inside and knows00:01:24
the entire production cycle.00:01:26
Well, hello.00:01:27
Good afternoon.00:01:28
Dmitriy.00:01:29
Nice to meet you. Edward Weiss.00:01:30
You'd never say that Edward Weiss is a Ukrainian.00:01:33
Yes, yes, a Ukrainian with an English name.00:01:35
From Donetsk. I live in Ecuador.00:01:37
Yes, we found not just an expert, but our countryman,00:01:41
who is personally responsible for the quality of the product.00:01:43
Only after his final ìyesî can the banana container00:01:46
be sealed and sent from Ecuador to00:01:49
our native port of Odessa.00:01:51
Well, my friends? Our banana investigation begins00:01:54
in the banana republic of Ecuador.00:01:56
Together with Edward, our fellow Ukrainian.00:02:00
Itís important to understand that there are00:02:02
two links in the banana business,00:02:03
those who grow bananas and those who bring them to us.00:02:07
Edward works for a company that buys00:02:09
bananas directly from local farmers and delivers them to us.00:02:13
This is a third of all bananas that are00:02:14
on the shelves of our stores.00:02:17
Edward's position is the head00:02:18
of the quality control department.00:02:20
He personally inspects banana plantations,00:02:23
harvested crops and each container every day.00:02:26
The scale is simply incredible.00:02:29
Weíre driving, and driving, and driving.00:02:31
Bananas, bananas, bananas. It feels like they never end.00:02:36
Because there are hundreds of different manufacturers here,00:02:39
and it just looks like an ocean of bananas.00:02:42
By the way, they say that there are banana tycoons.00:02:46
And that banana people can earn00:02:48
millions of dollars. Is it true?00:02:51
Of course itís true.00:02:52
There are farmers who actually earn00:02:54
millions or tens of millions.00:02:57
But you can't tell that by their appearance.00:03:00
They hide it very well. If you meet a planter,00:03:04
most likely heíll be wearing dirty clothes00:03:06
and driving an old, dilapidated jeep.00:03:08
Why?00:03:09
By the nature of their work, they themselves00:03:11
have to work around the clock on their own plantation.00:03:14
So, they donít really worry about their clothes and vehicles.00:03:18
Here we are, approaching a plantation.00:03:21
We want to see the real picture, so we00:03:23
will check the plantation secretly, without warning the owner,00:03:27
so that he couldnít prepare for the audit.00:03:29
Let's leave the car running so that we can run quickly.00:03:34
And run away from here.00:03:35
Wait, so, the way the things are here might make00:03:38
you want to run away?00:03:39
Yes. Oh. That's it, my friends.00:03:42
Banana growers don't like other people00:03:44
sticking their noses in their business.00:03:46
Especially without asking.00:03:47
So, what will happen?00:03:49
Well, it happened here.00:03:50
Ten years ago, people used to get killed, really.00:03:52
On the plantations.00:03:55
Do you work with this plantation?00:03:56
With this one, I donít; it's a new plantation.00:03:58
And I need to check if itís suitable for us.00:04:00
So, they offered you? - Yes.00:04:03
That's it. Before even starting a conversation00:04:05
about buying bananas, Edward prefers to00:04:07
personally assess the state of the plantation.00:04:10
Well, for me as a "dummy", itís a usual plantation.00:04:14
Bananas are like bananas.00:04:16
But the expert immediately notices the flaws.00:04:19
If you see that the plantation is very light,00:04:21
there are large gaps, I can tell you with00:04:23
90-percent certainty that this is a bad plantation.00:04:27
The fact is that a healthy banana plant should00:04:29
have at least five or six large leaves.00:04:32
Then the plantation looks thicker and greener.00:04:35
Here. If you look from above,00:04:38
there are only three leaves.00:04:39
If there are not enough leaves in a plant,00:04:42
all processes such as photosynthesis or00:04:44
metabolism are no longer okay.00:04:45
As a result, the yield drops, and the fruit00:04:48
itself is formed incorrectly.00:04:50
This fruit will rot in a week or two.00:04:53
Moreover, you can see such small things.00:04:58
These are wood lice. Here, they are running.00:05:01
These pests not only live on the plant itself.00:05:04
They can also lay their larvae on the fruit.00:05:06
As a result, bananas begin to rot.00:05:08
It's completely off limits. If they find one00:05:12
such little white dot in a box,00:05:14
they throw out a hundred boxes.00:05:16
If they find it in three boxes,00:05:17
they throw away the entire container.00:05:18
A container is 1,200 boxes. 25 tons.00:05:21
Immediately, Edward notices an00:05:23
even more serious flaw.00:05:25
Look, guys. Black sigatoka.00:05:28
If the leaf is black here, then this green00:05:31
part no longer works.00:05:32
There is no photosynthesis here,00:05:33
and in a week or two this leaf will die completely.00:05:36
But there are bananas. May I tear the package?00:05:38
Yes, of course, of course.00:05:40
Is it already..? - It's trash.00:05:41
I pick one. And I hand it to an expert.00:05:44
What can be said? The leaf is spoiled,00:05:45
but the bananas areÖ00:05:46
I think they are ordinary green bananas.00:05:48
That's the problem.00:05:49
Why are we doing this inspection?00:05:51
Because a banana wonít tell you if00:05:53
the plantation is good or bad.00:05:55
Black sigatoka is a fungal disease,00:05:57
the main feature of which is that it00:05:59
spreads very quickly and can destroy00:06:02
an entire plantation in a short time.00:06:06
Why? Because most likely,00:06:07
the plantation was very poorly cultivated.00:06:09
To combat such problems, the00:06:11
farmer has to regularly treat the00:06:13
fields with the very same pesticides.00:06:15
These are special chemicals that are00:06:17
used to control pests and plant diseases around the world.00:06:21
To cover vast areas of banana plantations,00:06:23
pesticides are sprayed from the air using aircraft.00:06:26
This process is called fumigation.00:06:28
Unfortunately, it happens that not only plants,00:06:30
but also workers fall under the treatment.00:06:34
It is clear that fertilizers and chemicals00:06:36
are used in agriculture all over the world.00:06:38
Well, a simple example.00:06:39
We grow potatoes, the beetle needs00:06:41
to be poisoned. And of course, we use chemicals.00:06:43
But is it dangerous when sprayed with pesticides, or not?00:06:47
They are processed on non-working days.00:06:50
For example, when there are no people on the plantation.00:06:52
They usually put out signs that during00:06:54
the fumigation, you canít enter the plantation,00:06:56
or fish in the rivers, or hunt.00:06:59
You can't bathe in the river, too.00:07:00
And what about those small plantations00:07:03
where people live?00:07:05
Again, I donít rule out such cases that00:07:07
someone could get hurt.00:07:09
To figure out exactly how the processing is done,00:07:13
and how dangerous the pesticides are,00:07:14
we go to the air base, which specializes in spraying them.00:07:19
Here a man greets us whose life has00:07:21
changed dramatically because of pesticides.00:07:23
Meet Jorge Acosta. Until recently,00:07:26
he was a pilot and every day he himself00:07:30
sprayed several tons of toxic substances.00:07:33
Itís a plane for processing.00:07:37
Here is a 750-liter pesticide tank.00:07:40
And from here the chemicals are sprayed.00:07:43
I worked on this for 18 years.00:07:46
Why did you quit this job? What made you do it?00:07:49
In 2009, I started having health problems.00:07:53
My heartrate was too high, my vision was worsening.00:07:56
I thought my heart fails me.00:07:58
But when I went to the doctors,00:08:00
it turned out that these were symptoms00:08:01
of chemical poisoning.00:08:04
What about these pesticides that come00:08:06
out of here, from these sprayersÖ00:08:09
why are they dangerous?00:08:12
The pesticides used here can cause00:08:14
diseases of the liver and other important organs.00:08:18
Parkinson's disease and the worst of all, cancer.00:08:22
So it turns out that you left because00:08:24
you felt health problems?00:08:26
No, my health only partly influenced the decision.00:08:30
At some point, I realized that for many years00:08:33
I had poisoned other people.00:08:38
The fact is that when sprayed from an airplane,00:08:40
chemicals fall not only on banana plantations,00:08:44
but also on everything around.00:08:49
Why talk a lot if I can show everything? Let's go.00:08:57
We take a larger plane.00:08:58
Because those that are used for00:09:00
spraying only have one seat. For the pilot.00:09:03
Now Jorge will personally show us the flight00:09:05
over the plantations exactly the same as00:09:07
he did it thousands of times.00:09:10
We have a unique opportunity to see00:09:12
where the plane flies and where dangerous00:09:15
chemicals end up.00:09:20
Approaching the banana plantation.00:09:24
Itís clear that the houses are either00:09:27
adjacent to the plantations, or are located00:09:30
directly on the plantations.00:09:34
To ensure that the entire plantation is covered,00:09:36
pilots often turn on the sprayer while still00:09:38
on the approach. And sometimes, they turn it off later.00:09:42
So, accordingly, itís simply impossible00:09:45
that the chemicals wonít get on the houses.00:09:48
When itís windy, small particles are00:09:50
spread throughout the district.00:09:53
It becomes obvious from the air.00:09:56
Even if spraying is carried out at a00:09:59
time when there is no one on the plantation,00:10:01
in any case it will end up in rivers00:10:03
where there is drinking water.00:10:06
And people drink this water, which is also very harmful.00:10:13
Jorge organized a union of banana00:10:16
plantation workers. Together with lawyers,00:10:18
heís trying to achieve safe working00:10:20
conditions and compliance with the rules00:10:22
for the use of pesticides.00:10:25
Did any of your colleagues suffer greatly?00:10:28
Yes. Inhalation of pesticides, for example,00:10:31
causes drowsiness. I know for myself.00:10:34
I think that's why a lot of pilots crash.00:10:38
To be honest, it was hard for me to believe00:10:40
what I heard. But after checking the news00:10:43
reports of local online publications,00:10:45
there was no doubt.00:10:46
Planes that spray chemicals crash suspiciously often.00:10:52
In 2009, when we first discovered this00:10:56
problem, seven planes crashed.00:10:59
Itís crazy. In one year.00:11:00
And this year, there were four crashes already.00:11:05
The latest tragedy is quite recent.00:11:11
So, you think that even despite the speed00:11:13
with which the drops fly towards the tail,00:11:16
something reaches the cabin? Any smells or vapors?00:11:19
We did an experiment. We poured the00:11:21
fluorescent liquid into the tank.00:11:23
Then we flew the plane and recreated00:11:25
the spraying process. When the plane landed,00:11:28
the pilot went into a dark room.00:11:31
He had traces of fluid all over his body.00:11:34
Given that you are fighting against all this,00:11:38
how come you are here?00:11:40
They are talking with you. You are allowed to fly.00:11:42
Are these old connections of yours?00:11:44
Yes. I worked here for many years,00:11:46
and everyone knows me. In addition,00:11:49
I protect the rights of all people.00:11:51
Including those who work here.00:11:54
Thanks to Jorge's old connections,00:11:56
we got a unique opportunity to00:11:58
film the process of spraying chemicals.00:12:00
So, here we are. The same plane00:12:03
that pours chemistry on bananas is preparing to take off.00:12:06
Itís only due to their respect for00:12:08
Jorge that they allow us to do what00:12:10
weíre going to do now.00:12:11
We'll fix the cameras and show you how it goes.00:12:13
See? The guys who are preparing the00:12:16
plane are wearing masks and gloves. Hello.00:12:20
Will you be pouring the pesticides?00:12:22
Sorry, I can't talk.00:12:24
No sooner had we fixed the cameras00:12:26
on the plane than the flight was suddenly banned.00:12:29
Here, my friends. Suddenly.00:12:30
What happened? Why?00:12:31
You came here, they paid attention to us,00:12:34
and hereís the result. Information00:12:36
has just come in that the flight safety00:12:39
commission has raided the office00:12:41
of this airline with an unscheduled inspection.00:12:44
And now, until the end of the inspection,00:12:46
all flights have been banned.00:12:49
Can you imagine that? How it all happened by chance.00:12:52
Yes? "By chance."00:12:54
The plane was being prepared for takeoff.00:12:57
It had to fly off to do its job. They saw us.00:12:59
Everyone started looking at us.00:13:00
And then a state commission appeared00:13:02
and banned the flight.00:13:04
Because we are filming, because we00:13:06
are preparing the cameras.00:13:07
In my opinion, this is yet another00:13:11
Although we were prevented from filming00:13:13
the pesticide treatment, we are not going to stop.00:13:15
We asked Jorge to set up a meeting00:13:17
with the plantation workers who can00:13:19
confirm that people are suffering from chemical spraying.00:13:23
The number of those who came is astounding.00:13:26
Good afternoon, folks.00:13:27
Good evening.00:13:28
First, I want to thank you very much00:13:30
on behalf of all Ukrainians, because00:13:32
90 % of all bananas in our country come from Ecuador.00:13:36
I mean these are bananas that are00:13:37
harvested by you, for which I thank you and bow.00:13:40
But we are also worried about00:13:42
our health and the health of our loved ones.00:13:44
We heard about the problem with pesticides.00:13:47
And I want to ask you directly because00:13:49
you are closest to this. How serious is this problem?00:13:55
I worked in the field for a year,00:13:57
where I was sprayed with pesticides.00:14:00
After that I started having health problems.00:14:03
When I passed the tests, they found toxins in my blood.00:14:07
And when did the chemicals get on you? Right at work?00:14:10
Yes, because I worked in a T-shirt and shorts.00:14:13
They didn't give me any protection.00:14:15
It's just that so many large plantations report00:14:18
that this is all untrue.00:14:19
And there are no people on the plantations00:14:20
when the plane sprays chemicals.00:14:23
According to the rules, processing should00:14:25
take place on weekends.00:14:26
But a lot of people do it on weekdays.00:14:29
Can I ask those who were sprayed with00:14:31
chemicals to raise their hands? Just raise your hands.00:14:36
See? Unanimous response.00:14:40
Can you imagine? For us to have bananas,00:14:43
they have to walk in chemical rain.00:14:46
I didn't think it was all that scary. But itís awful.00:14:48
We know that itís impossible to grow00:14:50
bananas without pesticides.00:14:52
But itís necessary to comply with the norms00:14:54
to avoid harming either the workers or those00:14:57
who will then eat these products.00:15:01
Thereís no doubt that chemicals are dangerous.00:15:04
But itís impossible to do without them.00:15:07
Weíve already seen what happens to00:15:09
an under-cultivated banana plantation.00:15:12
Thatís why everything that is grown in00:15:14
the world on an industrial scale - even apples00:15:16
or potatoes familiar to us - is certainly processed.00:15:19
It turns out that manufacturers have to balance00:15:23
in a very delicate situation.00:15:25
Namely, to use chemistry exactly00:15:27
in the amount and as often as necessary.00:15:28
But not a drop more.00:15:30
If processing is done in moderation and00:15:31
clearly according to technology,00:15:32
then the workers wonít suffer, and the harvest will be safe.00:15:37
We go to another plantation,00:15:39
which Edward already inspected last week00:15:42
and assessed as good.00:15:44
But today, the expert is obliged to control00:15:46
everything related to the use of chemistry.00:15:49
To do this, we meet with the owner of the plantation.00:15:52
This year, I ordered processing 14 times.00:15:55
Or 21 times, when itís allowed.00:15:58
But we are primarily interested in other figures.00:16:01
Itís well known that any fruit is considered00:16:03
safe if enough time has passed from the00:16:06
last treatment to harvest.00:16:08
Only in this case, pesticides are washed00:16:10
off by rains, plus the plant itself has time00:16:13
to remove the chemical through metabolism.00:16:16
The last treatment was 70 days ago.00:16:19
70 days without fumigation is a lot.00:16:21
The rains washed away this chemistry00:16:24
a long time ago. It's just perfect.00:16:26
Itís not just words.00:16:27
Data on the use of chemicals are supported00:16:29
by documents, and the expert necessarily checks them.00:16:33
I care so much because children00:16:35
eat bananas, so it is very important to know00:16:38
whether theyíre safe or not.00:16:40
I can guarantee my bananas are chemical free.00:16:45
So, you can feed your children without fear.00:16:49
The appearance of the plants and the00:16:51
long interval between treatments indicate00:16:53
that the technology is followed on this00:16:55
plantation and the bananas are grown correctly.00:16:57
Which means they can be approved by Edward for shipping.00:17:00
Oh, look, it's cool. Just the moment when00:17:02
the production goes along the conveyor.00:17:06
Okay, be careful. Latex is like the blood of a banana.00:17:10
Itís transparent, and when it dries, it becomes black.00:17:12
Latex is called banana juice here.00:17:15
Nothing can wash it off except bleach.00:17:17
So, my staff and I always wear white T-shirts,00:17:19
because it can only be washed off with bleach.00:17:23
Here, look. The guy is not dirty.00:17:25
It's all latex on clothes.00:17:27
What is the territory of your plantation?00:17:29
45 hectares.00:17:31
Is it a lot or a little?00:17:32
Itís a medium size plantation.00:17:34
Are you a tycoon by local standards?00:17:36
No, no. Iím middle class.00:17:39
We have someone to check the information.00:17:41
Our man, our agent. How many hectares do00:17:44
banana tycoons start with?00:17:46
With 150 or 200.00:17:48
Wow. So, 45 hectares is just a millionaire?00:17:50
Just a millionaire, yes.00:17:51
If you raise your head and look, then all00:17:53
these banana branches are always wrapped in bags.00:17:58
A plastic bag is used to prevent damage00:18:01
from birds, bugs, and wind.00:18:04
So, even though its peel is quite thick, a banana is tender?00:18:08
Yes, it's an insanely tender fruit, a berry.00:18:11
A slightest scratch causes black spots,00:18:13
and rotting begins in this place.00:18:15
So, it must be groomed and cherished.00:18:19
Here, I found a bunch.00:18:21
Now, using it, weíll show why bananas are so tender.00:18:24
For example, a leaf falls and touches a banana.00:18:29
One, two, three. We can already see some00:18:32
small scratches here. Now, what are these pads for?00:18:35
Iíll show you.00:18:36
If a banana rubs against a banana,00:18:40
when they carry it, it's already visible.00:18:43
The peel is damaged, you can see itís crushed.00:18:46
What will happen next in this place?00:18:47
In a couple of hours, this place will turn black.00:18:49
Let's save it and check? - Okay.00:18:55
Good afternoon. Whatís your name?00:18:58
Juan Carrea.00:18:59
How much does it weigh?00:19:00
About 50 kilograms. It makes for two full boxes of bananas.00:19:05
He must carry it from there to this line.00:19:08
And hang it on this hook.00:19:10
Listen, 50 kilos are heavy.00:19:12
How many such bundles do you carry in a day?00:19:14
About 140.00:19:16
Seven tons in a day.00:19:17
Yes, somewhere like that.00:19:18
What is the salary of a person who00:19:20
carries seven tons a day?00:19:22
I get $20 a day.00:19:25
Well, it's minimal. From 20 to 35 or00:19:28
40 dollars, depending on a profession.00:19:30
Either they just pull the load, or they pick00:19:33
off the leaves, or they cut bananas beautifully.00:19:35
So, a worker of a good plantation can make00:19:38
400 dollars a month or more?00:19:40
Yes, thatís right. - Mhm.00:19:42
In the tradition of The World Inside Out,00:19:43
I can't help but experience a new profession.00:19:46
Moreover, we are talking about products that00:19:48
will soon be sent across the ocean to our country, to Odessa.00:19:52
Teach me how to do it.00:19:53
You should put it on your shoulder,00:19:55
and when the bunch is close, you should00:19:57
carefully place it on the mattress.00:20:00
Itís worth noting that the mattress really is very soft.00:20:03
It's actually a pillow. You see,00:20:05
they cut it slightly so that the trunk leans.00:20:09
Get the pillow ready.00:20:10
Help me.00:20:13
Boss, help us! You make half a00:20:15
million dollars a year.00:20:16
Help us a little, come on.00:20:18
Yikes, dripping juice!00:20:22
Give me your hand.00:20:24
Well, shall we force the banana tycoons to work?00:20:27
Turn right now, turn right.00:20:29
I can't see anything.00:20:30
Step it over, step it over.00:20:33
Stop, stop.00:20:40
Now you see that the work is difficult?00:20:42
I tripped over a branch.00:20:46
Just imagine, a hundred bundles a day.00:20:49
These men are heroes.00:20:52
Oh, it's hard. Try to take a bag of sugar00:20:55
or flour and carry it.00:20:57
Itís just that you can drop the sack any00:20:59
time and take a break.00:21:01
But with tender fruits, this is not possible.00:21:03
The slightest blow, and bananas are sent to the trash.00:21:11
Thank God, the workers realized that I had no experience.00:21:16
As well as the chief quality controller has no experience.00:21:19
You can control the quality, but it's hard to carry, right?00:21:22
Yeah.00:21:23
Here. They help us and carry the devices.00:21:26
There are bigger branches than that.00:21:29
They gave you an average branch.00:21:31
Well, to be honest, they gave it to us.00:21:32
And we dropped it together.00:21:34
Yes. - The quality controller and the journalist00:21:37
are no longer wearing white.00:21:39
Now, we lock it with a chain.00:21:42
We put the package here. Here, my friends,00:21:45
the very bananas that will be on the shelves00:21:48
of our supermarkets in about a month.00:21:52
Theyíre green. Do you know what they say?00:21:55
ìPeople cut bananas when theyíre green so00:21:57
that they ripen in a container.î00:21:59
But those people eat fresh bananas.00:22:01
Bananas are cut green for everybody.00:22:03
Why do they cut them green?00:22:05
Because they don't ripen evenly.00:22:07
If you wait for the entire branch to ripen on the plant,00:22:10
then at some moment, some bananas00:22:12
will become overripe and spoiled.00:22:14
And some will still be green.00:22:16
So, all bananas are cut earlier.00:22:18
So that they ripen already on their way to the consumer.00:22:21
To do this, a temperature of at least00:22:23
13 degrees Celsius is kept in the shipping containers.00:22:26
The same temperature must be observed by us, the buyers.00:22:29
I always advise my friends to put00:22:32
bananas in a warm, dry place.00:22:34
Do not put them in refrigerator.00:22:36
Because when the temperature drops below00:22:38
13 degrees, bananas get frostbite and turn black.00:22:41
Here's another useful tip, my friends.00:22:44
We donít store bananas in the refrigerator, never.00:22:49
What happens next?00:22:50
Conveyors are not automatic here, my friends.00:22:52
You have to push it manually.00:22:55
But it's one thing when you push one bunch,00:22:58
and another thing when there are 50 of them.00:22:59
A whole train of bananas.00:23:05
Here, a rope loop made from a bag.00:23:09
Oh, it goes well.00:23:19
That's it. Itís hard to go uphill.00:23:25
And this is two and a half tons of bananas00:23:27
for our native Ukrainian market. Phew.00:23:31
This is how bananas get to us.00:23:43
Last steps. Oh. Oh, now they need to slow down.00:23:48
Holy mackerel!00:23:54
I overdid it. Here. They flew into the00:23:57
shop in the truest sense.00:23:59
But the shop workers are in no hurry00:24:00
to get bananas from me.00:24:02
It was already their legal lunch time.00:24:06
So, the inspector and the owner also00:24:09
have lunch with the workers?00:24:11
Of course. They always do.00:24:12
So, things are very democratic here.00:24:16
Let's see what banana workers and00:24:19
banana kings have for lunch.00:24:22
Soup. Fried bananas, of course. Fried chicken.00:24:25
Rice. What is this?00:24:27
It's tuna salad. With tomatoes and potatoes.00:24:30
Iíd say, itís a rich dinner.00:24:32
Do you feed employees at your own expense?00:24:34
Yes, I do. Mornings and afternoons.00:24:36
So, my friends, free breakfast and free lunch.00:24:40
Thank you.00:24:43
Excuse me, can I ask you you something?00:24:45
What is your name?00:24:46
My name is Fernando.00:24:47
Is the quality of food like this here every day?00:24:50
Of course. Every day.00:24:51
And the owner also eats with employees,00:24:53
or just in front of the cameras?00:24:55
If he's on the plantation, he's with us.00:24:58
Do many plantations have this level of nutrition?00:25:00
The food is everywhere, but only some have such great food.00:25:05
After a hearty lunch, we return to work00:25:07
and get acquainted with Edward's subordinates,00:25:09
employees of the company's quality department,00:25:11
who are inspecting the plantation.00:25:14
Whatís your name? - Oscar Delgado.00:25:16
Whatís your control area here?00:25:17
I check the size and quality of the fruit.00:25:20
Look, he has two main tools. This is our calibrator.00:25:25
According to international standards,00:25:26
the fruit must be at least 14 centimeters long00:25:29
and three centimeters in diameter.00:25:31
Whatís the purpose of the knife?00:25:32
This isnít a knife, itís a curvo.00:25:34
Come again?00:25:35
Curvo. It means twisted.00:25:38
Any banana man will tell you,00:25:39
ìYour wife has a knife at home. And I have a curvo.î00:25:42
Checking the bananas. If thereís no disease, no damage.00:25:46
For example, this one has already suffered in the field.00:25:48
That's what we talked about. See?00:25:50
Someone scratched it, maybe I00:25:52
did when I carried between the trees.00:25:55
I touched the trees, you saw it.00:26:01
In such situations, such damages appear.00:26:04
This means it will rot, it will be in contact with00:26:06
its neighbors, and they will all rot.00:26:07
Most likely, yes. If he sees some illness or damage,00:26:10
he marks it like this so that in no case will00:26:13
this banana get into the box.00:26:14
Can I help and check the bananas for Odessa?00:26:17
Here, I guess, right? No, it's dirt. Ah, I found it! Look.00:26:22
This is what rots, right?00:26:24
It won't rot, but it will be unmarketable.00:26:26
It won't be as pretty as you'd like.00:26:27
Iím ruining it.00:26:28
That's not all. One finger is cut off.00:26:30
So, this is called a finger?00:26:31
Yeah. Itís cut in half. To check the inside of the banana.00:26:36
It has to be white and firm.00:26:39
This indicates that the banana is healthy and00:26:41
will reach Ukraine in good condition.00:26:45
Sticky glue. Disgusting, bitter, ugh.00:26:48
After the bananas have passed such a test, they are sent to the washer.00:26:54
All bananas undergo such rinsing. Some surface dirt is knocked off.00:27:02
Our branch is divided into bunches.00:27:05
After being cut, they are thrown into the pool.00:27:07
And it floats there and washes.00:27:08
Why? - To remove all the garbage and some chemicals,00:27:12
perhaps, plus for the latex to come out.00:27:17
Look. Those guys quickly remove the plastic00:27:20
and knock down the brushes with a special rounded knife.00:27:23
And throw them into the pool. In a flash. May I try?00:27:28
Itís not so easy. It seems to be simple.00:27:30
Here, you see? Its diameter and bend resemble00:27:33
this trunk, so itís very convenient to cut it.00:27:38
Look what I did. Lack of experience.00:27:40
I cut one banana, and itís definitely going to be sorted out.00:27:44
Unfortunately. See? Itís easy to damage.00:27:47
And... You see, I ruined two bananas.00:27:50
Boss, will you fine me?00:27:52
Yes, I will. And not only for these bananas.00:27:54
For all the bananas you damaged.00:27:57
If my people worked the way you do,00:27:59
we would be collecting one container for two weeks.00:28:04
People in Odessa will be left without bananas.00:28:07
The third stage. Only beautiful fingers are00:28:10
cut and selected here. For example,00:28:12
if he finds such damaged ones, he throws them away here.00:28:15
We cut six bananas and make a square-shaped crown.00:28:19
So, this is called the crown.00:28:23
Okay!00:28:24
Just a little, just a little. No, no! Right here.00:28:27
Here it is. Up!00:28:28
The cutter only does three cuts. No more.00:28:31
One, two, three.00:28:32
Does this also affect the preservation?00:28:34
The right cut of the crown ensures that the00:28:37
bananas do not rot and reach the buyer in good condition.00:28:41
And here are the bananas from the branch you dropped.00:28:44
Oh, they are, arenít they? Did you know?00:28:46
Itís a fine.00:28:48
What should I do? Look, one, two, three, four.00:28:50
No, you throw these away.00:28:51
As a "dummy", Iíd sort the bananas like this.00:28:53
I would cut off the damaged ones. Here.00:28:55
And these four are intact. Can you do that?00:28:58
You can't. The bananas will be damaged for packing.00:29:00
Because I cut one row of bananas,00:29:03
the bunch is a non-standard shape.00:29:05
And now it will be impossible to put it tightly00:29:07
in a box along with other bananas.00:29:09
It will dangle during transportation00:29:11
and damage half of the crate.00:29:12
Lovely bananas, but unfortunately the00:29:15
top layer was scratched. Marvelous. We throw it away.00:29:18
And what is here? - The fourth stage of quality.00:29:20
Even if we assume that someone overlooked00:29:23
a scratch on the first three, sooner00:29:24
or later they should find it. - Thatís right.00:29:27
After all stages of control, bananas are00:29:28
sorted by size, weighed and prepared for packaging.00:29:33
Since childhood, when I tried the first bananas,00:29:36
I have always valued this sticker the most.00:29:38
It was even a pity to throw it away then00:29:40
because bananas were in short supply.00:29:43
I saved it and stuck it somewhere.00:29:46
At school, we also boasted if we had such stickers.00:29:49
Some people stuck different brands to their wallpaper.00:29:52
Like a collection.00:29:54
I see a girl doing something with her brush.00:29:57
I treat the crown with a special remedy.00:30:00
The crown is essentially an open wound.00:30:03
A brush is used so that this wound heals.00:30:07
To avoid rotting.00:30:08
What is it made of?00:30:09
It's a special acid that heals the crown.00:30:13
It's like that. And what is this?00:30:15
The same as before.00:30:16
But the whole banana is covered, I see.00:30:19
If there are scratches on the banana,00:30:21
to prevent those scratches from rotting, too.00:30:24
As you can see, before packing,00:30:25
bananas are also treated with special remedies.00:30:28
That is why itís better to wash the fruits before eating.00:30:30
And never eat the peel.00:30:32
This is how bananas are stacked.00:30:35
This is the final, fifth stage of banana quality control.00:30:38
Only when Edward makes sure that the00:30:40
entire batch has good quality, he gives00:30:42
the go-ahead to send the container.00:30:45
Here it is. Importer in Ukraine - Odessa region,00:30:48
Avangard urban-type settlement.00:30:50
It's amazing, I can't believe that this box00:30:52
is going to our country. Ukraine, greet them.00:30:56
The big container is almost full.00:31:00
I will speak quietly. Being here,00:31:02
I canít help but ask. In the news,00:31:04
you can see regular reports that in Odessa,00:31:07
in a container with bananas, cocaine was found.00:31:11
Well, the customs office reports it often.00:31:14
And it's on the news.00:31:15
Do you know anything about it? Does it happen?00:31:17
After Colombia began to change its drug00:31:20
traffic from land borders to sea borders,00:31:23
this became a big problem. And for me as00:31:25
a quality manager this is a nightmare.00:31:27
Because the Ecuador law says, if, God forbid,00:31:31
at least one gram of something is found in a container,00:31:33
I will go to jail until the end of the proceedings.00:31:37
Even if it's not my fault.00:31:39
Where do they usually hide it?00:31:42
The floors and walls are torn down first.00:31:44
Most of the stuff fits in there. And so here,00:31:47
in Ecuador, they find 2, 3 or 4 tons in a container.00:31:51
Bananas are in the boxes.00:31:52
And 2-3 tons of cocaine are hidden in the insulation.00:31:55
How can you check it?00:31:56
Before picking up a container, we order00:31:58
a preliminary inspection. And after that,00:32:01
each container has its own GPS sensors.00:32:03
We can control that it didnít stop anywhere00:32:05
for an hour or two or three.00:32:07
Well, God forbid. No powder, never, only bananas.00:32:10
There are three boxes left.00:32:12
I suggest uploading and sending them.00:32:14
Let's do it together? - Okay.00:32:21
Yes!00:32:22
The container is sealed properly.00:32:24
And they will open it already in our country,00:32:26
in Odessa. By that time, the bananas00:32:28
will ripen and turn yellow.00:32:30
Well, bananas are leaving for the port.00:32:32
Where they will sail towards Odessa for00:32:34
about a month on a ship. And then they get to our stores.00:32:41
While the best bananas have gone to our country,00:32:44
the bananas rejected at various stages of quality00:32:46
control remain here, in Ecuador.00:32:49
Waste from production, what is not exported,00:32:52
goes to the domestic market. Usually,00:32:54
the farmers sell it to the north of the country00:32:56
and the mountains. Or for the animals, if it's really bad.00:32:59
These will be sold to people.00:33:01
Do you remember we did an experiment?00:33:03
What will happen to bananas, which, for example,00:33:05
were scratched by a leaf, rubbed against each other?00:33:09
Here you are. What do we have now?00:33:11
An hour and a half later it turns black.00:33:15
So, accordingly, it can be assumed that in00:33:16
a month they will arrive rotten in Odessa.00:33:19
Exactly.00:33:20
Such a strict, captious, and meticulous00:33:22
inspection at all stages of production allows00:33:24
us to buy good quality bananas.00:33:27
Only thanks to people like Edward,00:33:29
we can eat bananas without fear and00:33:31
get a healthy product that is cheaper00:33:33
than our native apples in winter.00:33:36
According to the tradition of our program,00:33:38
we had to ask our new friend if we could visit him at home.00:33:41
And of course, we couldn't come empty-handed.00:33:47
Good evening. - Good evening.00:33:49
Well, first, Iíd like to see how our man00:33:51
lives in distant Ecuador.00:33:53
Everything is so stylish and modern.00:33:56
His kitchen and equipment.00:33:57
How much is the rent per month?00:33:59
$350. With video surveillance, with00:34:02
utilities and stuff like that. And in a good district.00:34:04
For example, the head of the city police00:34:05
lives across the street.00:34:07
So, you don't have to worry about security?00:34:11
It's just a tradition for us to look into the fridge. May I?00:34:14
You may. Itís empty.00:34:16
This is a bachelor's apartment. - Obviously.00:34:19
You need to replenish your supply with Ukrainian food.00:34:22
Here, cucumbers, tomatoes.00:34:24
Transcarpathian sausage.00:34:27
Evening Kyiv chocolates. Vodka. Buckwheat.00:34:29
Buckwheat is always in short supply.00:34:31
Fresh rye bread. And of course, foreign eggplant.00:34:35
It's really straight for my heart.00:34:38
Itís in short supply here, isn't it?00:34:41
Short supply is when thereís not enough.00:34:43
And it doesn't exist here. Thank you very much.00:34:46
Edward prepared for our visit, too.00:34:48
He cooks borscht for us with a local twist.00:34:51
Ukrainian borscht with Ecuadorian flavor, so to speak.00:34:55
For the first time in the history of our program,00:34:57
instead of potatoes we use plantain.00:35:00
Plantain is a vegetable type of banana.00:35:02
You donít eat them raw, only cooked.00:35:05
Just like our potatoes.00:35:07
It looks like an ordinary banana, my friends.00:35:10
But the similarity ends on the outside.00:35:15
Do you have a trash can?00:35:16
Spit it in here.00:35:21
It's just... Such an astringent taste.00:35:24
Wait. First, we need to boil it in water.00:35:28
Now you know that not everything that00:35:31
looks like a banana is actually a banana.00:35:34
These big green ones are plantain.00:35:36
It's a banana-shaped potato.00:35:40
Plantain is boiled for 10 minutes.00:35:42
Then we put the Ecuadorian potatoes into the borscht.00:35:45
When everything is ready, we set the table.00:35:48
Well, now, for the first time in history,00:35:51
let's try borscht with bananas.00:35:53
With plantain, to be exact.00:35:57
The borscht itself is excellent, by the way.00:35:59
And now, friends, I'm trying the very banana.00:36:03
Believe it or not, it's potato. No sweetness,00:36:05
same consistency, same taste.00:36:09
Honestly, I was very worried, but...00:36:12
Itís hard to ruin our borscht.00:36:14
A banana wonít ruin it for sure.00:36:17
Toast for your work. Thanks to you,00:36:20
Ukrainians can eat quality bananas.00:36:25
Both in winter and in summer.00:36:28
Bananas are the unspoken symbol of Ecuador.00:36:30
But thereís also a completely official landmark,00:36:32
after which the country even got its name.00:36:36
We are in 20 kilometers from Quito,00:36:38
the capital of Ecuador.00:36:40
And this monument is called the Center00:36:42
of the World because the equator line passes here.00:36:44
Here it is.00:36:48
That is why the country was named so.00:36:50
In Spanish, equator means "Ecuador".00:36:59
In our arsenal of useful devices,00:37:00
another charger has appeared that00:37:02
significantly speeds up the charging00:37:04
time of any equipment, a phone,00:37:06
a fitness bracelet, and even a laptop.00:37:08
So, while I'm getting ready, my phone will be fully charged.00:37:37
Equator is a conditional line00:37:38
40,075 kilometers long, which encircles00:37:41
our planet and divides it into00:37:43
northern and southern hemispheres.00:37:46
It passes by land through 11 countries00:37:47
and through the territorial waters of eight more states.00:37:51
But for Ecuador, it became the main00:37:53
symbol and pride of the country.00:37:55
In 1736, the world first learned that00:37:57
the equator line passes over Ecuador,00:38:00
thanks to the French Geodesic Mission.00:38:02
Scientists have noticed that it is here00:38:03
that twice a year, on the days of the spring00:38:06
and autumn equinoxes, the sun is clearly at its zenith.00:38:08
And objects don't cast shadows.00:38:10
Exactly at noon on March 21 and September00:38:13
23, only at the equator, the sun is located00:38:15
clearly at right angles to the surface of the Earth.00:38:18
For that reason, objects cease to00:38:21
cast shadows for a short time.00:38:23
Itís not such a day, and the time is not noon.00:38:25
Itís 12:24 pm.00:38:29
But the fact that we are at the equator is still visible.00:38:31
My shadow falls almost vertically under my feet.00:38:34
If you look closely at the surrounding objects00:38:37
and people, there are almost no shadows.00:38:40
This discovery was made right here, and now00:38:42
it proudly bears the name Center of the World.00:38:45
Ecuadorians considered it their duty to00:38:47
mark the equator not only on the map,00:38:49
but also to perpetuate it in a majestic00:38:51
monument with a five-ton globe on top.00:38:55
Thereís an entrance here, you can go00:38:57
inside and climb to the very top.00:38:59
Although it turned out that the calculation00:39:01
methods of the 18th century scientists00:39:03
were not accurate enough.00:39:04
With the advent of modern navigation systems,00:39:06
one small detail has come to light.00:39:08
This monument is not quite in the center00:39:10
of the world, and this line is not quite the equator.00:39:13
Satellites have determined that the equator00:39:15
is located to the north, 240 meters from here.00:39:17
But this monument remains the main00:39:19
attraction of the country.00:39:24
More than a million tourists come here every year.00:39:32
It seems that the calculation error doesnít00:39:34
bother tourists at all. Many continue to00:39:37
believe in the symbolism of this place00:39:39
and are happy to take pictures on a conditional line,00:39:42
supposedly simultaneously on two00:39:44
hemispheres of the planet.00:39:45
But where is the real equator?00:39:47
The World Inside Out always finds the truth.00:39:49
And today, a local man named Patricio helped us figure it out.00:39:55
This yellow line is purely symbolic.00:39:58
The real equator is not here at all.00:40:01
Where is it? Can you show me?00:40:02
Yes, of course, let's go.00:40:06
This house is located on the equator.00:40:09
If you believe the man.00:40:11
Oh, so you made the equator at home?00:40:14
Thereís a sundial in the yard, there00:40:16
are lines of meridians and parallels.00:40:18
It seems that you are in an open-air00:40:20
geography classroom at school.00:40:26
Come in. Here it is, the real equator.00:40:29
This is the zero parallel.00:40:31
Did you decide to open a tourist center here?00:40:34
Yes. We want to bring the truth to the people.00:40:37
Because everyone knows about the main monument,00:40:39
the Center of the World, but this is a mistake.00:40:42
So, my friends and I want to make this place famous.00:40:47
That's it, my friends. The man made the equator at home.00:40:50
How did you define all this? GPS?00:40:53
Hereís a picture that NASA took 25 years ago.00:40:57
Hereís a monument to the center of the world where we were.00:41:00
It is located at 7.8 seconds south latitude,00:41:05
which is 249 meters and 60 centimeters00:41:08
further from the equator.00:41:10
Here you can see that the monument00:41:11
is on the yellow line. And we are on the blue one,00:41:15
along which the equator passes.00:41:18
Now, we can check this with a satellite navigator.00:41:24
Here you are. Clearly zero.00:41:27
Equator. Indeed, itís right here, in this room.00:41:31
Look, the Google map, the usual one.00:41:33
We put a point. Zero point zeros and one.00:41:36
Itís a hit. Almost 100 percent. Of course,00:41:39
if you move the phone a little, it will change.00:41:41
But it's here.00:41:42
The technology confirms, my friends.00:41:44
We check it with different devices.00:41:46
And everything matches. It turns out that00:41:48
the equator line ended up in your house.00:41:50
Is this your private property?00:41:51
Yes. In 1994, I found out that my house00:41:55
is right on the equator. It turns out that00:41:58
10 meters of the equator belong to me.00:42:01
I think if you put this house up for sale,00:42:04
it could be worth millions of dollars.00:42:06
Because you're selling a piece of the equator.00:42:08
The equator is only 40,075 kilometers.00:42:11
And 10 meters are yours. Oh wow,00:42:12
it's expensive. Did someone offer you00:42:14
to sell this house or this land?00:42:15
So far no one has offered.00:42:17
Although I often hear that this is a goldmine,00:42:20
and I hope that someday this place will turn a profit.00:42:25
But right now, it's important for me to00:42:27
show people where the equator really is.00:42:30
After all, if you have already arrived at00:42:32
the center of the world, get to the very center00:42:35
and recharge with its energy.00:42:37
This is what inspires me the most.00:42:39
That's it, friends. The man accidentally00:42:42
found the equator at home.00:42:44
He marked it and lives in the equatorial house.00:42:48
The real inside always lies very close,00:42:49
literally around the corner, a few steps from tourist sites.00:42:53
Only 240 meters from the monument of00:42:55
the Center of the World, and you find00:42:57
yourself on the real equator.00:42:59
And the GPS confirms it, the navigation00:43:02
confirms it, your mobile phone can even confirm it.00:43:05
So, in the best traditions of the World Inside00:43:07
Out program, we recommend that each of00:43:09
you turn a little away from the tourist trail,00:43:11
step on the equator line and see real life.00:43:16
The Center of the World is always waiting for you.00:43:19
The fact that the original definition00:43:20
of the equator was erroneous doesnít prevent00:43:23
the Center of the World monument00:43:24
from being a symbol of Ecuador.00:43:26
It is here that important official meetings00:43:29
and solemn international events are held.00:43:32
Do you remember that The World Inside00:43:34
Out has a special tradition?00:43:35
Hoisting our native Ukrainian flag in iconic places.00:43:40
On mountain peaks and in particular on the equator,00:43:42
which we have already done in Kenya.00:43:44
Now it's time to do it here.00:43:50
Today, in honor of our arrival, the Ukrainian00:43:51
flag will be officially raised here.00:43:55
For this, we received official permission00:43:57
in advance and agreed with the local administration.00:44:04
This is the colorful official delegation00:44:06
of Ecuador that is meeting us.00:44:15
We represent the Center of the World administration.00:44:18
Today, we are authorized to hold a solemn00:44:20
raising of the flag.00:44:22
Dima.00:44:23
Fernanda.00:44:24
Iím Tatiana.00:44:25
Tatiana? A Ukrainian name.00:44:28
And the embroidered shirt is similar to the Ukrainian one.00:44:29
Thank you very much.00:44:31
Hello, young man.00:44:32
Arturo.00:44:33
Arturo. Whose suit is this?00:44:35
This is the traditional costume of Uma, the Andean devil.00:44:39
Uma the Devil. Is it a positive character or a negative one?00:44:43
He personifies both good and evil.00:44:46
Uma the Devil is a creature from the00:44:48
local legends of Ecuador, which has00:44:49
an important spiritual significance for the indigenous peoples.00:44:53
This character participates in all official events.00:44:57
The rest of his colleagues are also dressed00:44:59
in traditional costumes from different provinces of Ecuador.00:45:02
No Ukrainian delegation ever came here?00:45:03
We are meeting Ukrainians here for the first time,00:45:06
and itís a great honor for us that you have come to us.00:45:10
On such an important occasion, we00:45:12
decided to make the largest flag of Ukraine00:45:14
in the history of the World Inside Out.00:45:16
As the leadership of this place and city told me,00:45:19
I ordered a flag in a local workshop00:45:21
measuring three by six meters. Here it is.00:45:25
Who's in charge of the official ceremony here?00:45:28
I am.00:45:29
What do you know about Ukraine?00:45:30
To be honest, I don't know much.00:45:33
Ukraine is in the geographical center of Europe.00:45:35
This reminds me of your place.00:45:38
What do you call this place?00:45:39
Center of the World.00:45:40
From the center of Europe to the center00:45:42
of the world, my friends.00:45:47
Now Tatiana will raise the flag of Ecuador.00:45:50
Then, the flag of Quito, the capital.00:45:52
And then, the Ukrainian flag.00:45:54
The Devil wasnít allowed to raise the flag of Ecuador.00:46:02
Every color of our flag has its meaning.00:46:05
Red is the blood shed for the freedom00:46:08
and independence of Ecuador.00:46:10
Blue is the color of the sea and sky.00:46:13
And yellow is a symbol of the wealth that we have in Ecuador.00:46:19
To the sound of the Ecuadorian anthem,00:46:21
the ceremony solemnly begins.00:46:26
That's it, friends. The national flag of00:46:29
Ecuador is officially raised to the national anthem of Ecuador.00:46:32
Let's now raise the flag of Quito,00:46:34
the capital of Ecuador.00:46:43
Hurray, Viva Quito!00:46:47
Well, now the most solemn moment00:46:49
for me and for all our audience.00:46:51
We unfold the Ukrainian flag. Help me please.00:46:54
The top should be blue. Bottom is yellow.00:47:02
Okay.00:47:05
We start raising the flag of Ukraine00:47:07
to the anthem of Ukraine.00:47:29
Thank you so much!00:47:33
How long will this flag be here and00:47:35
how will Ukrainian tourists be able to see it?00:47:37
After your program is broadcasted,00:47:39
the flag will be here for 15-20 days.00:47:44
In the future, when Ukrainian tourists00:47:47
come here, it can be raised again.00:47:50
You just need to contact us in advance,00:47:52
and the flag will already be raised by your arrival.00:47:55
If you are going to Ecuador,00:47:57
contact the administration of this00:47:58
place and ask them to put up a flag.00:48:00
Well, yay, thank you.00:48:02
Glory to Ukraine, glory to Ecuador,00:48:03
glory to the city of Quito! A significant event,00:48:05
and after such an official ceremony,00:48:08
our expedition will unfold in a different way.00:48:11
Muchos gracias.00:48:16
In the next season.00:48:18
We continue our adventures in the Andes.00:48:20
This has never happened before in our program.00:48:22
We'll meet the folk superstar.00:48:24
We'll try to chat, though it's hard to talk to celebrities.00:48:27
They are always in the spotlight.00:48:29
The man who was given a monument during his lifetime.00:48:31
The Chimborazo volcano is my grandfather,00:48:34
and I am his grandson.00:48:35
With a very unusual celebrity profession.00:48:38
We change the camera for an ax.00:48:39
We have a hard job ahead of us.00:48:42
We'll put together a huge group.00:48:43
A team of 45 people, not counting our film crew.00:48:46
18 doctors. Police, lifeguards.00:48:50
To set a world record on a mountain00:48:52
said to be taller than Everest.00:48:55
Weíve never started such a large-scale00:48:56
expedition in the mountains.00:48:58
We will have to negotiate with local officials.00:49:01
For some reason, we were asked00:49:03
to come to their president. In the morning, at 4 am.00:49:07
And arrange incredible night races.00:49:09
No explanations, just do as they say.00:49:12
The cars are ahead. They asked us to catch up.00:49:15
To see the rarest collectible heads worth00:49:18
100 thousand dollars each.00:49:20
God, this is real. This is a human head.00:49:24
And learn how to shrink a head to the size of an apple.00:49:27
An incision is made on the back of the head.00:49:29
And then around the neck.00:49:30
Here, here is the incision in the back. Here it is, so scary.00:49:34
We will meet the most beautiful girls in the country.00:49:37
We help each other. During the pageant,00:49:39
we became close friends.00:49:41
We'll challenge stereotypes together00:49:43
with those who make the impossible possible.00:49:46
I love to try and experience everything.00:49:49
Weíll get to know a new bright country,00:49:51
where thereís always a holiday on the streets,00:49:55
where creatures from hell live...00:50:00
Itís a nightmare.00:50:02
And legends about cruel drug lords come to life.00:50:05
Where the big money is, and treasures00:50:07
can be found right under your feet.00:50:10
Real adventures, real world inside out.00:50:20
