In Guinea Conakry, at the wheel of their truck, Mamady and her sons face torrential downpours which make the track nightmarish. The abundant rains and the 1,300 streams and rivers that run through the country gave it its nickname: the water tower. However, running water is rare in the country and, to have access to it, it is sometimes necessary to install giant cisterns. Transporting these tanks by bush taxi over the rutted tracks is no easy task. After the palm oil harvest, which provides a minimum of income for residents, only motorcycles can transport the precious liquid. Loaded with dozens of cans, they set off on chaotic tracks on which anything can happen.

Directors: Philippe LAFAIX, Frédéric ELHORGA

I am inspired by the resilience of Mamadou's boys. Strong and healthy, they don't give up, even when it gets tough, they still give themselves hope, for they know that joy comes at the end. It gave me great relief to see them arrive home, tired but relieved, to see their father put food on the table. The things I want to see! May God bless every hard-working person reading this comment. God, who feeds the sparrow , never fails to provide for everyone of his children, in different ways!

As a Kenyan I can't believe there are contries that are this poor on this continent. We always complain about poverty and corruption but this is on a whole new level.

It’s natural for them to have many children without thinking the future as they grow up.

Great documentary. From the sounds of it widespread corruption is everywhere. Just more prevalent from place to place. I wish all these people well. May God be with you.

We need to remember that what ever is going on in our lives, it could always be worse.
