Surviving the Sahara | The World’s Most Dangerous Roads | Autentic Documentary

The air struggles against the oppressive heat, hovering heavily above the ground. This is late March in West Africa, with the relentless Harmattan desert wind blowing. The roads are dusty paths, barely navigable and impassable during the rainy season when the Niger River floods them. Most people in Mali’s Massina region lack cars, relying on minibuses, pickups, and animal-drawn carts. Market days are chaotic, with overloaded and unsafe vehicles on treacherous, pothole-filled roads. Sekou N’diayé and Diadjé Maiga, long-time truck drivers, embrace the uncertainty and challenges of their job, finding freedom in the savannah despite the harsh conditions.
