Impossible Roads

Zambia, Life Goes On (11x12)

Air date: Jan 06, 2019

Two legendary creatures live side by side in Zambia. The first is a very old truck. It has been used to construct thousands of farmers’ homes and after 46 years’ service it is still operating, despite leaks and constant break-downs. But in the rainy season, the old vehicle struggles on the country’s tracks. For owners Nicolas and his father, Cosam, keeping it running is a matter of survival. But they are not alone: the whole village rallies round to help them. It’s their sign of gratitude for all the years of faithful service.
