What baffles me the most is that in the middle of the dessert, they have electricity and water. In south africa, we are constantly having power outages, water shut off for days... Just goes to show; its not what you have, its what your government will do with it..

The most inspiring and fascinating portion of this documentary is your translator and guide, he was so polite, well spoken and completely at ease. I would completely visit his country if he were my escort. Bravo to you and him for making this such a great watch.

I know reach on youtube hasn't been the best for you and many creators lately, but thank you for keep going and showing us parts of the world we have never seen before!

As a fellow solo female traveler, I'm very impressed. This was very interesting to watch. My only critique is that I felt like the overarching question was, how do they survive? And we never really got that question answered... We only got a few minutes of viewing the village that was the whole purpose of the trip. And I didn't hear anything about how they managed to provide themselves with enough resources to survive, or what their day to day looks like...

And once again I will say Miss Josie - YOU are a documentarian, not “just another YouTuber”. Another awesome mini documentary. Well done ma’am ❤

You can see that the people were honored to be recognized by someone so far away from them. I pray this video blesses the people and can give them some resources they can benefit from.
