  4. The young boy protecting his little brother and checking in on him at school made me happy to see they have each other. I hope they both study hard and make a better life for themselves.

  5. As a Bangladeshi it is very shameful for me. If I will become affordable then I'll try to stop this slavery and I will try to my best to remove their sadness.

  6. I feel for these guys. I had 7 stints in residential rehab, 14, in-patient detoxes and countless other attempts to get clean from Heroin. Finally, in 2006, something clicked and I've been clean/sober ever since. Most of these unfortunates will die long before they get that many opportunities. It's just so sad.

  7. I've always felt that the tactile aspect of books and writing by hand help with better long term retention than being on a device.

  9. I know people claim heroin withdrawal won't kill you like withdrawing from alcohol or benzos, but it is so painful and soul destroying, specially as addicts often have nobody to reach to for support. Personally I couldn't take it and after two failed attempts at withdrawal ,during the third attempt the crushing depression led me to take a huge mixed overdose and I'm ashamed to say my son came home and found me blue and unresponsive on the floor. The poor kid had to perform CPR to start my breathing and heart again and keep me alive till the ambulance arrived. That was my "rock-bottom" putting my son through that, and I did finally manage to get clean following that.

  10. As a Japanese, I find this documentary very interesting. Thank you for making it. It is difficult to explain the situation in Japan to people overseas, but I think this will help.

  11. Not everything needs to be digitalized or put on a screen, especially when there's no practical benefit. Technology should be used sensibly.

  12. Extraordinary documentary. Well done to all those who made it, and to those poor souls who continue to suffer.

  13. Crazy I was homeless here right when Covid started. I stayed in that same shelter and I was probably one of the only few people not on drugs. Literally almost everyone of those people there were on drugs. It was the worse experience of my life, but I’m so thankful for it because it humbled me like no other.

  14. Too all you guys and girls, men and women who have gotten clean. Good job, and stay strong. I am an Afghan myself living in Denmark. It hurts me to see these men suffer this much, but i get sort of happy reading all the comments of you people who've gotten sober and clean! - you have all my respect!<3

  15. This has to be one of the most heartbreaking documentaries I have ever watched. My heart aches for these families.
    491
  16. This was such a balanced perspective. You really gave each side time to share their opinions, and even explored their reasoning without bias. Great documentary.
    459
  17. The little girl might have some issues with her hand and eyes but defently not her brain, She is so well spoken

  18. Man that would suck, I got clean almost 3 years ago in Colorado but drug addiction is the same everywhere. I have love for every single one of those flea-ridden souls. They are right in that only addicts understand addicts. Those rehab workers deserve so much more help. Thanks for making the video and keep your head up everybody ❤.

  19. Man that was hard hitting. It was beyond words suffering from heroin addiction for 24 years in the uk. Seeing these poor men go through it in such harsh conditions was unthinkable

  20. I hope instructor Wang gets his chance to study abroad. Love his reasons on why he wants to travel
    322
  21. I went to the PH 10 years ago and Be-friended a family, I built them a nice house, cost me $25,000. I still send $200 to $600 every 3 to 4 months. I've never told anyone I did this until now, hoping to set an example. These kids break my heart. Pay it forward my friends.

  22. As a Bangladeshi, the matter is very sad for me. I don't know when this will end. Many thanks for making the video.love from Bangladesh ❤️

  24. As a baby boomer in bad health and on social security only, if my only child and her family hadn't taken me in, I would be one of the many living on the streets. During Covid, I went through all of my savings and ended up having to sell my car because I couldn't afford the repairs. My heart breaks whenever I see or hear of the elderly that are homeless.

  25. This is why I don’t let my students use iPads! For free time, we play board games, or go outside and play in the garden. 4th grade in Oregon. I have very little behavior issues.
    283
  26. I wonder how the women are doing during covid 19. I believe that area was hard hit with the varient. I wish them all well.
    279
  27. A life lived without addiction is a very well lived life.
    275
  28. The elderly gentleman towards the end is absolutely right about motivation. Without it, all plans to stay clean are doomed to fail. You have no counterweight to oppose even the slightest hint of temptation. And you need an absolute mountain of a motive to counter the mountains of temptations on your way out. Number one crucial step in staying sober for any meaningful amount of time.

  29. A huge salute to all these people managing and persevering during the crisis despite all difficulties. It is thank to those people that Lebanon has a chance to rise again in the future.

  30. Why isn’t this in the news like Russia and Ukraine
    221
  31. Sending my love and prayers to Vicky, Ricky and all the homeless out there. This could be anyone of us. ❤

  32. I've been through withdrawals sooo many times at my home, that was absolute hell. I can't imagine how much pain these guys are going through. I wish they had Medicine Assisted Treatment, that's the only thing that has helped me.
    216
  33. God bless these people in Afghanistan. Unfortunately Drug withdrawal is something I have experienced too many times. Unless you have experienced it you can never truly understand how terrible it is. My worse experience was going through withdrawal locked up in a New Jersey jail where they give you absolutely nothing to help take away the pain and illness. You suffer in a small cell, can't sleep, can't eat, constantly experiencing an extreme amount of discomfort and that was a walk in the park compared to what the addicts in this documentary have suffered. May God bless them all

  34. Finland, the Scandinavian countries always come up tops in surveys of the happiest, most contented people. And they have great social welfare, too. This video explains why - they really care about education, health and ordinary people.

  35. Thanks Arte for uncovering the real situation in Myanmar and letting the world know

  36. This is a wonderful doc. For an American who can empathize with them, it strips away the conditioned hatred and suspicion for a moment. I've been there, in rehab feeling like the lowest microbe on earth. A huge difference is that I was given all the good food I could eat and healthcare was always a few feet away. They're conditions are inhuman, and will not make it any easier for them to stay clean. It barely deserves the name "rehab."

  37. Thank you for covering this, I had to make the tough decision to leave Lebanon 3 years ago and seeing this kills me everyday. I hope this situation ends one day so that Lebanon can thrive again and I can return… It was so weird to get used to constant hot water or 24/7 electricity once I moved to the UK. Cheap food and good Salaries. I returned to Lebanon to attend a wedding a few months ago and the situation was truly deplorable. I feel so sad for my friends and family who are still living there in squalor.

    133
  42. I would be happy to be part of this beautiful project
    132
  43. Thank you for covering a very poignant sad story. Major news outlets like to ignore all of these negative situations in the world. It takes a lot of courage to cover a story like this, both for the women being interviewed and for the interviewers. Well done. You gave kind and compassionate coverage of this situation.

  46. I visited this community a month ago when I went to the gorgeous city of Nablus. I even met the dude getting married! I thought the kindness and hospitality of the Palestinian people was unrivalled, but the Samaritans were genuinely the most friendly, lovely and welcoming group of people I have ever encountered in my life. I didn't know anything about them before I went up the mountain, but many of the community came out and brought me around and showed me the first temple and told me their story and history. Everyone of them was an absolute legend! Much love to all the people of Palestine and Israel, from Ireland.

  47. The pain cuts deep. Their misery is unfathomable. I have no reason to ever complain about life again compared to the hands these poor women have been dealt with. Tears flowing. Speechless
