Impossible Roads

India, Bangladesh, The Traps of the Brahmaputra (12x6)

Air date: Jan 05, 2020

From the peaks of the Himalayas to the Indian Ocean, the Brahmaputra river flows for 2,900km through China, India, and Bangladesh. One hundred million people live along its banks and depend directly upon it for their survival. In the mountains of North-East India, its rapids make it impractical for navigation and trucks are the only means of transportation able to supply these remote villages. And so, drivers undertake a most dangerous journey on board ancient trucks, brushing precipices and crossing suspension bridges whose planks threaten to break at any moment.
