WEBVTT

00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:49.200
- Siniya!
- Yeah?

00:02:54.720 --> 00:02:57.240
The Hitler gang's popular here.

00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:33.880
I look best in the photo.

00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:36.840
The holes in your body need filling!

00:03:37.880 --> 00:03:39.760
Fuck you!

00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:47.080
My name's Siniya Boy.

00:03:48.440 --> 00:03:51.760
We train at our HQ,

00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:54.720
which we've named "Hitler".

00:03:57.640 --> 00:04:01.880
It's the name of a guy in America.

00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:05.560
We heard he's an invincible warrior.

00:04:05.880 --> 00:04:09.840
And we're like him: we're not scared.
So we're nicknamed "Hitler".

00:04:11.760 --> 00:04:13.840
This is where we train.

00:04:14.040 --> 00:04:16.400
All the guys.
Friends and brothers.

00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:41.840
- Siniya!
- Yeah.

00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:46.760
Take a good photo. I wanna show
my wife and future baby

00:04:47.200 --> 00:04:51.080
that Daddy's huge, a real man!

00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:56.680
- More like a pile of shit!
- Is this true what he's saying?

00:04:57.520 --> 00:04:59.880
Check out how built I am!

00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:01.360
Right?

00:05:01.760 --> 00:05:03.200
Watch it!

00:05:03.400 --> 00:05:06.320
- Yeah, right!
- I'm telling you!

00:05:07.400 --> 00:05:11.640
- Lower your head a bit.
- You can see your bald-spot.

00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:14.840
It's a blessing!

00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:27.880
If a brawl breaks out, we dive right in.

00:05:28.840 --> 00:05:30.840
If a gang shows us no respect,

00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:33.720
we sweep down on them
and beat them all up.

00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:36.920
We break everything and leave.

00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:40.720
Not a single thug dares
to cross Kara Kara.

00:05:42.200 --> 00:05:43.600
Hiya!

00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:45.800
Hiya!

00:05:47.440 --> 00:05:49.160
My respects.

00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:52.240
Greetings!

00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:57.240
Boy! Boy!

00:05:58.760 --> 00:06:01.080
- My respects.
- Boy!

00:06:05.440 --> 00:06:08.560
Kara Kara is a gang den,
and I was born here.

00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:10.960
That's the truth.

00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:15.600
Something's bothering me...

00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:20.080
We grew up in the same town,
in Zinder...

00:06:20.640 --> 00:06:23.800
but I realize

00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:26.920
we didn't have the same opportunities.

00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:30.120
Why's that?

00:06:30.320 --> 00:06:31.840
Education.

00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:34.320
That's what I think.

00:06:34.640 --> 00:06:36.600
It's education

00:06:36.960 --> 00:06:39.920
that made us different.

00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:44.680
You didn't grow up in Kara Kara.

00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:48.560
I live in Kara Kara.
I was born and raised here.

00:06:49.280 --> 00:06:51.960
Kara Kara is the district in Zinder

00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:54.480
where the marginalized live,

00:06:54.880 --> 00:06:58.080
those with nothing, outcasts.

00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:02.360
Lepers, the blind, beggars...

00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:05.760
They were moved
and forced to live here.

00:07:05.960 --> 00:07:08.120
That's Kara Kara.

00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:35.480
When I called, I thought you'd say no

00:07:37.400 --> 00:07:39.400
because of the game.

00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:53.840
You hear that?
The kids are stoning the wall.

00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:57.680
It's normal, it's Kara Kara!

00:07:57.960 --> 00:08:01.640
- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah, that's how it is.

00:08:03.320 --> 00:08:05.160
I was born here,

00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:08.880
Whatever happens,
I'll always be from Kara Kara.

00:08:09.080 --> 00:08:10.880
Whether people respect us,

00:08:11.080 --> 00:08:14.600
insult us, or call us sons of bitches,

00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:17.080
I tell them I'm from Kara Kara.

00:08:17.280 --> 00:08:18.840
Right.

00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:23.200
Lots of people constantly stigmatize us,

00:08:23.400 --> 00:08:26.280
so some of us don't dare to say
we're from Kara Kara.

00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:29.560
Even in Mecca,
I'd say I'm from Kara Kara.

00:08:29.760 --> 00:08:34.160
Some people, even at hospital,
when they're asked for their address,

00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:38.080
for a prescription,
don't say they're from Kara Kara.

00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:43.960
Otherwise, you're seen as a bandit,
a thief, a murderer...

00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:46.640
That's how they see you.

00:08:47.280 --> 00:08:50.800
Even the police treat us
differently from others.

00:08:51.040 --> 00:08:53.160
Once, they raided
the restaurant next door

00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:57.440
and arrested all the customers
and neighbors.

00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:02.080
I had left there
just ten minutes earlier.

00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:06.120
Each person had to pay
8,000 francs' bail.

00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:08.640
15 US dollars just to be freed!

00:09:08.840 --> 00:09:10.760
Chapiou said:

00:09:11.160 --> 00:09:16.960
"We were rounded up like cattle
for no reason.

00:09:17.160 --> 00:09:20.520
"I pray to God for Boko Haram to come."

00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:22.640
To screw the cops?

00:09:22.880 --> 00:09:25.800
A cop asked him, "What did you say?"
"I pray for Boko Haram to come."

00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:29.000
- "But you'll die, too."
- "So what if I do!"

00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:33.120
- Yeah?
- He said that given the injustice,

00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:37.320
he'd rather Boko Haram explode a bomb
and kill everyone.

00:09:39.560 --> 00:09:42.280
Chapiou's a real screwball, I swear!

00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:45.000
He has nothing to lose.

00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:57.480
- Boko Haram?
- They're stoning him.

00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:00.000
Who? A thief?

00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:04.000
No, not a thief.
It's an inter-ethnic conflict.

00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:06.920
Oh, my God!
Are they gonna kill him?

00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:08.560
Not only him.

00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:13.800
No way! Fuck!

00:11:14.680 --> 00:11:18.000
May God save us!

00:11:18.280 --> 00:11:19.560
He's dead.

00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:23.560
- Can you hear the screams?
- They've got one.

00:11:23.760 --> 00:11:27.360
- He's being hit with sticks.
- They're hitting his head.

00:11:29.040 --> 00:11:30.280
It's over.

00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:33.560
They've smashed his skull in.

00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:40.200
A "palais"

00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:44.840
is a group of youngsters
with nothing to do.

00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:48.560
Each group forms new ones

00:11:48.760 --> 00:11:50.560
in other alleys, other districts.

00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:57.840
And fights often break out between them.

00:11:58.160 --> 00:12:04.400
Gradually, studded belts
made way for knuckledusters.

00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:06.120
And after that...

00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:08.760
came sticks,

00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:14.080
then branches torn from trees
to bludgeon people.

00:12:14.560 --> 00:12:18.800
It was getting worse and worse,

00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:23.720
especially with the return
of the migrants.

00:12:23.960 --> 00:12:30.560
I don't like to speak ill of others,
but countries like Nigeria

00:12:30.760 --> 00:12:34.280
are ahead of us
and do worse things than we do.

00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:38.600
That's where our guys learn
to act like gangsters.

00:12:38.800 --> 00:12:42.520
Movies inspire the guys, as well.

00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:46.800
Gangs use knives
and other weapons...

00:12:47.160 --> 00:12:52.200
They think, "That cleaver's
not just for chopping meat!"

00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:54.520
You hide weapons in your pants.

00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:05.520
Come.

00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:09.800
I'm at the body-building camp.

00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:32.800
Soldier, you said you were beaten
but you did it!

00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:37.000
You're selected.
See how you lifted those weights?

00:13:39.520 --> 00:13:42.400
You admire me
even if you won't admit it!

00:13:46.920 --> 00:13:49.280
- Careful!
- Open your arms wider.

00:13:49.600 --> 00:13:50.880
Lift.

00:14:10.280 --> 00:14:11.520
There.

00:14:32.120 --> 00:14:35.320
You're not in a good position
to lift the bike!

00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:38.440
- What's that?
- Leave him.

00:14:38.800 --> 00:14:42.480
- How's he gonna lift it?
- No way you could do it, Americain!

00:15:06.840 --> 00:15:08.960
Well done, Bawo!

00:15:23.480 --> 00:15:26.200
My name's Idrissa Sani Malam,

00:15:26.920 --> 00:15:29.560
better known as Bawo.

00:15:31.040 --> 00:15:34.280
I used to be the boss of a palais.

00:15:36.160 --> 00:15:39.160
Now I'm a taxi-moto driver.

00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:46.920
- How did you get your scars?
- These?

00:15:47.800 --> 00:15:49.600
In a fight.

00:15:50.160 --> 00:15:52.720
My scalp was split open.

00:15:53.240 --> 00:15:56.680
And this, a stabbing
when the blade snapped.

00:15:57.800 --> 00:16:05.640
But the scar on my head
was from a fight.

00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:10.720
It was during a battle

00:16:13.080 --> 00:16:15.800
between rival gangs.

00:16:18.640 --> 00:16:20.600
I was hit with a chain,

00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:24.120
and my scalp split open.

00:16:24.760 --> 00:16:27.800
It wasn't a knife.
The knife was here.

00:16:28.160 --> 00:16:33.280
It was over some forged banknotes.

00:16:34.640 --> 00:16:39.920
When a fight breaks out,
you grab your knuckleduster.

00:16:40.600 --> 00:16:42.880
You put it on and hit your opponent.

00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:47.640
It can go in very deep, like a knife.

00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:51.680
It cuts right through the ligaments.

00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:55.800
No need to twist it,
it cuts clean through.

00:16:56.400 --> 00:16:59.320
It goes right through to the bone.

00:17:31.280 --> 00:17:33.480
This was a machete, this was a knife.

00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:35.720
This was a machete.

00:17:41.120 --> 00:17:42.800
On my back, a knife.

00:17:44.360 --> 00:17:48.600
This scar was from a razor
and the one on my arm, from a knife.

00:17:50.400 --> 00:17:53.920
It was in the city,
and we were all totally drunk.

00:17:56.840 --> 00:18:00.160
I have another one on the chest.

00:18:03.480 --> 00:18:09.240
This one's special,
because it was made by a woman.

00:18:12.080 --> 00:18:17.200
We were lovers.
Or rather, I was a regular client.

00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:24.600
Highwaymen.
We were on our way back from Libya.

00:18:25.080 --> 00:18:27.400
They wanted to take our savings.

00:18:27.600 --> 00:18:30.560
We clashed and I got this scar.

00:19:12.280 --> 00:19:14.200
OK, let's go!

00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:19.400
Let's go!

00:19:25.680 --> 00:19:28.360
Let's go!
Everyone to the latrines!

00:19:29.280 --> 00:19:32.880
To the latrines!
Let's go!

00:19:34.920 --> 00:19:36.800
Move it!

00:20:10.080 --> 00:20:13.760
OK, open the Kara Kara cells!

00:20:14.080 --> 00:20:16.880
Let's open the Kara Kara cells!

00:20:35.560 --> 00:20:37.480
- Visit permit?
- Yes.

00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:40.640
- Who for?
- Salissou Cikara.

00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:42.720
Papa Solo.

00:20:43.320 --> 00:20:45.560
- Americain.
- OK, wait here.

00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:48.520
Salissou Cikara!

00:20:50.840 --> 00:20:51.840
Boss!

00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:53.600
Papa Solo!

00:20:54.200 --> 00:20:55.920
Guys!

00:20:56.360 --> 00:20:58.120
How's it going?

00:20:58.720 --> 00:21:00.320
Boss, Solo Guy...

00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:02.880
How's everything going?

00:21:06.280 --> 00:21:08.360
Doing good, Americain?

00:21:09.120 --> 00:21:12.200
If you were out,
everything would be fine.

00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:15.200
We get by better together.

00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:18.680
You're the brain,
and without you, it's tough.

00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:26.240
Not knowing what your sentence
will be is hard.

00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:28.840
Awaiting trial is worse.

00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:30.760
It's really unfair.

00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:34.800
I've been through it three times.
Hanged three times!

00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:41.400
Look at these scars.
It's really not right.

00:21:44.120 --> 00:21:47.320
Not even a dog deserves that!

00:21:49.200 --> 00:21:53.560
You're arrested for one thing and the cops
accuse you of something else.

00:21:54.280 --> 00:21:55.920
We should be tried

00:21:56.120 --> 00:22:00.040
for our deeds,
not for crimes we never committed.

00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:03.240
Even if you tell the truth,

00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:08.040
they string you up and beat you.

00:22:08.400 --> 00:22:09.920
What does that mean?

00:22:10.720 --> 00:22:15.600
They want me to give them

00:22:16.640 --> 00:22:19.720
the dealers' addresses.

00:22:19.920 --> 00:22:23.240
- I tell them, "I don't do drugs!"
- It's unfair.

00:22:23.520 --> 00:22:26.320
They want me to give them
the dealers' names.

00:22:29.600 --> 00:22:32.320
The real reason you're arrested

00:22:33.320 --> 00:22:36.640
means nothing to them!

00:22:36.840 --> 00:22:39.600
They turn you into a snitch with torture.

00:22:39.800 --> 00:22:41.600
They don't care
if you're innocent or guilty.

00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:45.640
I was blamed because it's me,
the image of evil,

00:22:46.760 --> 00:22:48.440
the son of a poor family.

00:22:48.640 --> 00:22:51.920
We did things and repented,

00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:55.640
but there's no second chance.
That's not right!

00:23:35.560 --> 00:23:37.680
In truth,

00:23:38.400 --> 00:23:41.080
the palais were irresponsible.

00:23:41.400 --> 00:23:44.880
A few of us started to realize
it was getting us nowhere

00:23:45.080 --> 00:23:47.360
and doing more harm than good.

00:23:47.560 --> 00:23:51.640
We were going nowhere,
but prison opened our eyes.

00:23:51.840 --> 00:23:56.320
Some of us started changing
and thinking before acting.

00:24:11.080 --> 00:24:15.800
- Here's the ultrasound.
- Is that what you did today?

00:24:16.600 --> 00:24:18.040
Yes. Here.

00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:26.000
- Is that the baby?
- Yes. That's its heartbeat.

00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:29.840
- Did they say all's well?
- Yes, all's well.

00:24:30.360 --> 00:24:34.560
- OK... How much did it cost?
- 3,000 francs.

00:24:38.160 --> 00:24:40.640
3,000 francs?
Just for an ultrasound?

00:24:40.960 --> 00:24:43.480
And the other test?

00:24:44.560 --> 00:24:46.280
- The blood test?
- Yes.

00:24:46.480 --> 00:24:47.600
9,500.

00:24:48.160 --> 00:24:50.320
- Do you still have more to do?
- Yes.

00:24:50.520 --> 00:24:53.120
On top of the 5,500 you paid last time?

00:24:54.960 --> 00:24:59.800
Fuck, the rate these bills are coming,
things are gonna be tough!

00:25:00.680 --> 00:25:02.360
Plus 2,000 for the sheets.

00:25:02.560 --> 00:25:04.360
That's well over 10,000.

00:25:04.560 --> 00:25:07.440
The sheets are for the birth.

00:25:10.200 --> 00:25:11.400
Oh, yeah?

00:25:12.040 --> 00:25:15.040
Did they tell you the due-date?

00:25:15.280 --> 00:25:17.480
I need another exam to find out.

00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:19.080
They didn't tell you?

00:25:19.280 --> 00:25:22.080
No, they'll tell me
after the next blood test.

00:25:22.280 --> 00:25:27.960
I'll need to find a way to get the money.
It's gonna be tough.

00:25:28.920 --> 00:25:32.720
Business is bad,
but we'll do the necessary.

00:25:32.920 --> 00:25:35.040
Is it in two days or next week?

00:25:35.520 --> 00:25:38.000
- Tomorrow.
- Tomorrow-tomorrow?

00:25:39.640 --> 00:25:43.520
Shit, 9,500 francs by tomorrow?

00:25:43.880 --> 00:25:46.320
How much do you have to help?

00:25:47.040 --> 00:25:48.040
Nothing.

00:25:48.240 --> 00:25:50.280
Not a cent?

00:25:50.480 --> 00:25:53.640
OK, I'll go into town,
see what I can come up with.

00:25:54.280 --> 00:25:57.520
Is it possible to know
whether it's a girl or a boy?

00:25:57.760 --> 00:25:58.840
Yes, it's possible.

00:25:59.040 --> 00:26:01.240
- So?
- They didn't say.

00:26:01.560 --> 00:26:04.280
So we don't know a thing so far!

00:26:04.520 --> 00:26:07.400
Can you feel it kicking?

00:26:07.920 --> 00:26:11.080
- A lot.
- You can really feel it?

00:26:11.280 --> 00:26:14.200
It kicks so much,
it keeps me awake!

00:26:14.520 --> 00:26:18.120
Shit! How do you feel it?
Like this?

00:26:19.240 --> 00:26:21.960
- Like this, too.
- I can't feel a thing!

00:26:23.080 --> 00:26:25.560
With a bit of luck, you'll feel it.

00:26:28.840 --> 00:26:31.440
- You can feel it like this?
- Yes, you can.

00:26:33.720 --> 00:26:35.120
Hey, kiddo!

00:26:35.960 --> 00:26:39.160
The city's poor and the border's closed.

00:26:39.360 --> 00:26:41.880
Ask God for the best for us.

00:26:44.400 --> 00:26:47.720
We don't even know
if you're a girl or a boy.

00:26:48.680 --> 00:26:51.840
Innocent as you are,
God will answer your prayers

00:26:52.040 --> 00:26:53.960
and give us some money.

00:27:09.160 --> 00:27:10.160
Hi, Bawo!

00:27:10.920 --> 00:27:11.920
How are you?

00:27:12.360 --> 00:27:13.400
You good?

00:27:14.400 --> 00:27:15.600
Not too tired?

00:27:31.160 --> 00:27:34.720
Aicha, I did a lot
of bad things in the past.

00:27:36.160 --> 00:27:38.120
Really mean things...

00:27:40.280 --> 00:27:41.880
It haunts me.

00:27:45.320 --> 00:27:47.600
I gathered youngsters together...

00:27:49.160 --> 00:27:53.960
Word went out that any girl
wearing a short skirt

00:27:54.880 --> 00:27:56.920
should be beaten and stripped.

00:27:58.200 --> 00:28:01.920
We preferred to take them to our place,

00:28:02.160 --> 00:28:05.360
beat them and rape them.

00:28:09.280 --> 00:28:15.680
We had a prefab shed
which we turned into a bedroom.

00:28:15.880 --> 00:28:19.080
The other guys made tea outside.

00:28:19.520 --> 00:28:20.760
For the "Boss".

00:28:20.920 --> 00:28:23.120
When a girl was dragged in,

00:28:23.320 --> 00:28:27.520
a guy would take her to a compartment
to "empty himself".

00:28:28.520 --> 00:28:31.680
And what if she screamed?

00:28:31.920 --> 00:28:33.480
If she screamed,

00:28:33.680 --> 00:28:37.520
we put our hand over her mouth.

00:28:38.320 --> 00:28:40.000
Until we were done.

00:28:40.280 --> 00:28:43.560
Sometimes, it was a case
of "breaking them in".

00:28:43.760 --> 00:28:46.760
Sometimes, we threatened them
with a knife.

00:28:47.000 --> 00:28:49.960
Then they shut up.

00:28:50.240 --> 00:28:54.520
Over time, they got used to it
and became one of us.

00:28:56.160 --> 00:28:57.880
You played loud music...

00:28:58.080 --> 00:29:01.800
Music was playing round the clock.

00:29:02.160 --> 00:29:08.480
It was never turned off,
whatever the time of night.

00:29:08.840 --> 00:29:10.880
Some guys didn't sleep at all.

00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:13.960
In the morning,
others took over from them.

00:29:14.920 --> 00:29:21.200
They'd play reggae, smoke weed
and take Tramadol.

00:29:21.440 --> 00:29:26.240
There was tea next door,
so everything was OK.

00:29:28.960 --> 00:29:30.720
That's how things were.

00:29:33.360 --> 00:29:35.080
Like that.

00:29:46.280 --> 00:29:50.720
A lot has changed in my life.

00:29:55.160 --> 00:29:59.520
What made me change was an NGO.

00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:04.440
I went through 18 months
of training in Zinder.

00:30:06.200 --> 00:30:11.000
Throughout it, they kept repeating
that we should stop the violence,

00:30:11.560 --> 00:30:13.680
that violence was bad.

00:30:14.000 --> 00:30:18.080
They asked, "Why all the violence?"

00:30:18.400 --> 00:30:19.920
Lack of work!

00:30:20.200 --> 00:30:22.800
We had nothing to do, nothing to eat...

00:31:30.560 --> 00:31:32.160
Open the gas stand!

00:31:34.040 --> 00:31:35.640
Start setting up.

00:32:05.200 --> 00:32:06.440
Alright, Sodja?

00:32:06.960 --> 00:32:07.960
Serve him.

00:32:11.520 --> 00:32:12.600
Sodja!

00:32:18.360 --> 00:32:21.360
- Hey, Big Guy!
- Hey!

00:32:21.680 --> 00:32:22.920
- You cool?
- Yeah.

00:32:23.240 --> 00:32:27.240
- How's it going, Bawo?
- Can't complain, God willing!

00:32:29.880 --> 00:32:32.000
- And work?
- OK.

00:32:32.480 --> 00:32:35.400
- Some gas, right?
- Yeah.

00:32:38.000 --> 00:32:41.360
- Business good?
- It's not always easy.

00:32:41.680 --> 00:32:42.880
Yeah, I know.

00:32:43.600 --> 00:32:45.200
How's your brother?

00:32:45.800 --> 00:32:49.320
- Getting by.
- Hold that, I'll get some more.

00:32:54.160 --> 00:32:56.720
Keep buying your gas from me.

00:32:56.880 --> 00:32:59.040
- OK.
- And find me customers!

00:32:59.200 --> 00:33:01.080
Sure, it's not easy.

00:33:01.320 --> 00:33:04.400
I'm expecting more gas.
I sent someone for some.

00:33:04.760 --> 00:33:08.080
- You're out of stock?
- It's pretty tough.

00:33:18.200 --> 00:33:21.240
- All good?
- Perfect.

00:33:21.840 --> 00:33:23.280
Alright?

00:33:23.880 --> 00:33:26.720
I was at a wedding
when you called.

00:33:27.680 --> 00:33:30.160
But my stock has run out!

00:33:35.120 --> 00:33:38.320
- I phoned you...
- I was at a wedding.

00:33:38.520 --> 00:33:41.080
I didn't see you'd called till after.

00:33:41.600 --> 00:33:43.480
Never mind.

00:33:44.040 --> 00:33:47.640
The gas is of a better quality today.

00:33:48.840 --> 00:33:51.320
The jerrycan's filled up, too.

00:33:54.280 --> 00:33:56.480
Cash-Money, bring the change!

00:33:57.760 --> 00:34:01.720
- Another jerrycan?
- No, this is fine for now.

00:34:02.320 --> 00:34:03.960
Business is slow.

00:34:04.120 --> 00:34:06.640
Cash-Money, give me some change.

00:34:27.320 --> 00:34:29.960
I'm going to immigrate, anyway.

00:34:30.160 --> 00:34:31.160
Why?

00:34:31.960 --> 00:34:35.520
If I get shot,
at least things will be cool.

00:34:36.320 --> 00:34:38.960
Earning a living is a genuine jihad!

00:34:42.960 --> 00:34:46.040
There was a radio debate
on immigration recently

00:34:46.240 --> 00:34:47.920
to discourage youngsters.

00:34:48.120 --> 00:34:51.880
- What did they suggest instead?
- To stay in their country.

00:34:52.080 --> 00:34:55.000
Unemployment leads to
fighting and theft.

00:34:55.320 --> 00:34:57.720
I prefer my old life as a thief back!

00:34:57.920 --> 00:35:02.520
Come on, it's time
to get back into robbery!

00:35:02.720 --> 00:35:07.640
- No, gasoline is better.
- What does that earn you?

00:35:08.240 --> 00:35:09.880
The Whites here...

00:35:10.200 --> 00:35:12.400
are really underhand.

00:35:13.040 --> 00:35:15.080
They're supposed to be here

00:35:15.280 --> 00:35:17.480
to keep the peace.

00:35:17.720 --> 00:35:20.360
But they have other reasons.

00:35:22.600 --> 00:35:25.720
Like stealing our underground riches.

00:35:26.040 --> 00:35:30.200
Have you ever heard of a battle
between Boko Haram

00:35:30.840 --> 00:35:32.920
and a foreign army?

00:35:35.000 --> 00:35:36.640
It's our soldiers

00:35:36.920 --> 00:35:38.760
who fight them.

00:35:39.400 --> 00:35:43.520
And when fifty get killed,
they announce that it's eight or nine.

00:35:43.720 --> 00:35:45.720
The trouble is,

00:35:45.920 --> 00:35:50.240
it costs Niger money
to have these foreigners here.

00:35:50.600 --> 00:35:52.320
We pay these people.

00:35:52.520 --> 00:35:55.960
We give them tons of money
to do fuck all.

00:35:56.160 --> 00:35:58.520
It's our soldiers doing the work.

00:35:58.720 --> 00:36:02.200
It's such a terrible waste.

00:36:02.400 --> 00:36:05.240
- Niger pays them?
- Of course.

00:36:08.200 --> 00:36:09.880
Hello, Mahamadou?

00:36:11.000 --> 00:36:16.680
Can you bring seven jerrycans of gas
to Rouge's stand?

00:36:18.120 --> 00:36:20.680
Seven jerrycans in good condition.

00:36:23.160 --> 00:36:25.520
You'll find him at his stand.

00:36:28.080 --> 00:36:29.600
Right away.

00:36:30.520 --> 00:36:33.280
Ramsess, you're a business woman!

00:36:33.920 --> 00:36:35.720
Work makes you worthy!

00:36:36.040 --> 00:36:40.080
Are you compensated
if there's an accident while smuggling?

00:36:40.400 --> 00:36:44.720
- The police would seize everything.
- Even your vehicle?

00:36:44.920 --> 00:36:48.320
I'd rather stop

00:36:48.520 --> 00:36:52.720
so as to avoid crazy chases

00:36:52.920 --> 00:36:56.000
and fatal accidents.

00:36:56.240 --> 00:37:01.120
I don't want to hit another vehicle
and finish off burned up.

00:37:02.800 --> 00:37:05.720
- Money's useless when you're dead.
- True.

00:37:06.080 --> 00:37:08.920
How many died
in that accident near Matameye?

00:37:09.120 --> 00:37:12.120
The whole village burned down.

00:37:12.760 --> 00:37:15.240
Smugglers, inhabitants...
All of them burned!

00:37:15.440 --> 00:37:17.480
Not one of them escaped the fire!

00:37:17.680 --> 00:37:21.000
What good is that?
Best let them seize your vehicle.

00:37:21.200 --> 00:37:23.200
How d'you get by with no truck?

00:37:23.400 --> 00:37:25.520
I leave it to them.

00:37:25.720 --> 00:37:29.840
- I'm going home to bed.
- Right.

00:38:05.760 --> 00:38:11.080
My name is Ramatou Ma Maïna,
better known as Ramsess.

00:38:16.640 --> 00:38:18.600
God made me...

00:38:19.400 --> 00:38:22.760
half-woman, half-man.

00:38:27.320 --> 00:38:30.040
I'm a smuggler.

00:38:30.360 --> 00:38:33.560
I’m going to get some gas at the border.

00:38:42.800 --> 00:38:47.080
If I had another choice,
I wouldn’t put my life in danger.

00:38:48.800 --> 00:38:50.880
When someone smuggles,

00:38:51.080 --> 00:38:53.800
there's a reason behind it.

00:38:54.080 --> 00:38:57.200
It's because they're out of work.

00:39:01.200 --> 00:39:03.480
- You alright?
- Sure, and you?

00:39:03.680 --> 00:39:06.600
- Business is good.
- Thank God.

00:39:06.880 --> 00:39:10.960
- How are sales?
- Good. You want another one?

00:39:11.240 --> 00:39:13.400
No, one's enough.
It’s good quality.

00:39:13.600 --> 00:39:15.080
See you tomorrow, God willing.

00:39:25.280 --> 00:39:28.400
What can disturb your peace of mind?

00:39:30.200 --> 00:39:33.000
When people made fun

00:39:33.200 --> 00:39:35.960
of my hermaphroditism,
I used to get upset.

00:39:36.280 --> 00:39:41.480
Now, it's waking up with no money
that bothers me.

00:39:41.880 --> 00:39:47.480
As the eldest of the family, I’m in charge
of my mother, my brothers and sisters.

00:39:47.720 --> 00:39:52.600
But waking up penniless
and unable to fulfill their needs

00:39:53.120 --> 00:39:55.440
makes me sad.

00:40:22.520 --> 00:40:23.800
- Mom?
- Yes?

00:40:24.000 --> 00:40:28.040
- What did we feed them today?
- Bean flour and oat bran.

00:40:28.520 --> 00:40:32.800
- One goat has diarrhea.
- The boiled bean water, too.

00:40:44.800 --> 00:40:48.600
- We're going to the border.
- OK. May God protect you.

00:41:44.320 --> 00:41:48.000
Did you hear?
There are a quite a few Customs cars.

00:42:58.720 --> 00:43:00.120
Untie them!

00:43:05.120 --> 00:43:07.120
They're full, all right!

00:43:10.400 --> 00:43:12.600
- Can I see?
- Yes, they're full.

00:43:17.240 --> 00:43:18.760
What's the selling price?

00:43:20.160 --> 00:43:22.200
- How many?
- I don't sell for credit.

00:43:22.400 --> 00:43:24.040
I'll pay you cash.

00:43:24.240 --> 00:43:27.440
We pay, we take them
and you load them.

00:43:27.800 --> 00:43:30.560
Someone has already
ordered quite a few...

00:43:33.160 --> 00:43:35.800
so I can't give you the whole lot.

00:43:36.120 --> 00:43:38.360
- Half then?
- OK.

00:43:39.240 --> 00:43:41.360
Start loading.

00:43:43.960 --> 00:43:48.160
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9...

00:43:48.440 --> 00:43:51.800
- There are 20 missing.
- Bring the missing 20!

00:43:51.960 --> 00:43:53.400
There are 74 here.

00:43:53.640 --> 00:43:58.160
Load up fast, we need to go!
The assholes are out and about.

00:43:58.920 --> 00:44:00.120
Move it!

00:44:07.160 --> 00:44:08.520
Take this one.

00:44:10.240 --> 00:44:11.480
Here.

00:44:14.880 --> 00:44:16.360
One more...

00:44:25.080 --> 00:44:28.080
OK, this vehicle is loaded!

00:44:44.600 --> 00:44:47.240
Lights ahead! Stop!

00:44:48.000 --> 00:44:51.440
- I'm not stopping!
- Looks like a Toyota!

00:44:52.760 --> 00:44:54.920
I'll occupy the whole road.

00:44:56.600 --> 00:44:59.040
Tell the guys behind to get ready.

00:45:02.880 --> 00:45:06.400
I can see a car that has stopped.

00:45:07.000 --> 00:45:08.720
Everyone get ready!

00:45:20.400 --> 00:45:22.960
You see the car?
Blind it!

00:45:30.240 --> 00:45:32.040
Oh, it's not a Customs car!

00:45:32.240 --> 00:45:36.000
Fuck, he scared the hell out of us!

00:46:28.040 --> 00:46:31.000
Anfani FM in Zinder on 100 MHz.

00:46:31.160 --> 00:46:34.080
Hello, Radio Anfani listeners!

00:46:34.280 --> 00:46:35.440
Today's subject

00:46:35.640 --> 00:46:39.200
is the consequences
of Nigeria's borders

00:46:39.400 --> 00:46:44.160
being closed to neighboring countries,
including Niger.

00:46:44.560 --> 00:46:46.840
The smugglers are living proof

00:46:47.040 --> 00:46:50.280
that it's our gasoline
that crosses the border,

00:46:50.480 --> 00:46:52.400
which they buy
and bring back here.

00:46:52.720 --> 00:46:55.200
True, it's illegal,

00:46:55.400 --> 00:47:01.280
but this gasoline
is welcomed by the population,

00:47:01.480 --> 00:47:03.880
because it makes life easier.

00:47:04.200 --> 00:47:08.120
At the gas station,
it's 600 francs a liter.

00:47:08.320 --> 00:47:12.240
On the black market, it's 300 francs.

00:47:12.560 --> 00:47:16.520
It's mainly youngsters
who go to the border.

00:47:17.200 --> 00:47:19.920
While our country is not progressing,

00:47:20.080 --> 00:47:21.960
youngsters have nothing to do.

00:47:22.280 --> 00:47:24.240
And someone who has no food,

00:47:24.400 --> 00:47:28.240
who spends a whole week
with nothing to eat,

00:47:28.440 --> 00:47:31.400
but who has the vigor of youth,

00:47:31.560 --> 00:47:34.080
it's no surprise he attacks people.

00:47:34.240 --> 00:47:35.640
And even worse,

00:47:35.800 --> 00:47:40.760
they become easy prey
for the terrorists that surround us.

00:47:40.920 --> 00:47:44.400
As soon as they offer them money,
they leave,

00:47:44.560 --> 00:47:48.040
because they feel abandoned
by their country,

00:47:48.320 --> 00:47:51.560
because the government
can't find them jobs.

00:47:51.880 --> 00:47:56.440
So youngsters look
for a way to survive

00:47:56.600 --> 00:47:58.600
that the State cannot provide.

00:47:58.840 --> 00:48:02.240
And overnight, the State loses them.

00:48:02.640 --> 00:48:05.400
As a youngster,
how do you view the situation?

00:48:05.720 --> 00:48:10.120
The biggest problem for youngsters
is unemployment.

00:48:10.800 --> 00:48:14.640
In Kara Kara, for example,
which is seen as a no-man's land,

00:48:14.960 --> 00:48:17.440
there are so many unemployed youngsters,

00:48:17.600 --> 00:48:21.600
and most of them have no civil status.

00:48:21.880 --> 00:48:25.600
They do physical work,

00:48:25.800 --> 00:48:28.400
but no one goes out there

00:48:28.560 --> 00:48:29.680
to see that.

00:48:29.840 --> 00:48:32.120
We're judged from afar.

00:48:34.600 --> 00:48:35.720
Where you going?

00:48:35.920 --> 00:48:37.600
Over to the farm.

00:48:37.800 --> 00:48:39.720
Give 500 francs to Bawo.

00:48:41.240 --> 00:48:44.200
- This is for you.
- Thanks.

00:48:44.760 --> 00:48:46.360
See you soon.

00:48:48.520 --> 00:48:51.200
- Where are you going?
- To the farm.

00:48:55.000 --> 00:48:57.680
I'm in a hurry,
and you're going too slow.

00:48:57.880 --> 00:48:59.440
I take it nice and easy.

00:49:00.440 --> 00:49:04.000
I've been in here ages and you still
haven't reached my destination.

00:49:04.320 --> 00:49:05.880
You have to go faster.

00:49:06.320 --> 00:49:10.920
I want all of my passengers
to reach their destination safely.

00:49:11.120 --> 00:49:15.040
- Faster is better!
- Safety first.

00:49:15.240 --> 00:49:18.840
- There's not even music!
- Why no music?

00:49:19.640 --> 00:49:21.280
Sure there's music...

00:49:22.280 --> 00:49:26.600
But my radio's not working right now.

00:49:27.680 --> 00:49:29.760
- So that's why there's no music?
- Exactly.

00:49:30.960 --> 00:49:33.000
But I'll get it fixed soon, God willing.

00:49:37.720 --> 00:49:41.280
The gasoline
that smugglers bring to the city

00:49:41.680 --> 00:49:46.720
is our own gasoline
that they buy back at the border.

00:49:47.400 --> 00:49:48.720
Everybody knows it.

00:49:48.920 --> 00:49:51.800
It's a debate on Radio Anfani.

00:49:52.680 --> 00:49:55.640
About gasoline smuggling.

00:49:57.160 --> 00:50:01.800
The biggest problem for youngsters
is having no work.

00:50:02.360 --> 00:50:04.320
- Hence their behavior?
- Yes.

00:50:05.160 --> 00:50:08.240
When the refinery opened,

00:50:08.640 --> 00:50:12.840
they said it would create jobs
for youngsters.

00:50:13.040 --> 00:50:15.360
But so far, nothing.

00:50:16.080 --> 00:50:21.320
With the election coming,
politicians will make tons of promises.

00:50:21.520 --> 00:50:24.680
But they never keep them.
It's all idle talk.

00:50:25.480 --> 00:50:28.160
- It's all about politics.
- Yes, today's politics.

00:50:28.360 --> 00:50:29.920
Same politics everywhere.

00:50:30.400 --> 00:50:35.960
But I also feel
that we youngsters are at fault.

00:50:36.120 --> 00:50:37.840
You're right.

00:50:39.600 --> 00:50:42.600
Because at 2,000 francs,
our votes are cheap!

00:50:42.800 --> 00:50:44.640
It's practically nothing!

00:51:32.360 --> 00:51:38.440
While fighting a guy in Tudun James,
he cut me here.

00:51:38.880 --> 00:51:43.280
This one is a stab wound,
also in Tudun James.

00:51:46.360 --> 00:51:53.640
Then there are the ones on my forehead,
all from fights.

00:52:10.360 --> 00:52:14.200
A guy took out a knife
and threatened to slit my throat.

00:52:14.400 --> 00:52:18.440
I raised my arm in defense
and he cut me here.

00:52:21.640 --> 00:52:24.840
This other scar
was from a broken bottle.

00:52:29.000 --> 00:52:32.040
Tudun James
is a very dangerous place.

00:52:32.760 --> 00:52:35.120
They mug and kill people.

00:52:35.440 --> 00:52:37.520
Many people live in fear.

00:52:38.520 --> 00:52:43.640
I want people to group together
so our community can live in peace.

00:52:43.840 --> 00:52:47.000
To prevent fights breaking out,

00:52:47.320 --> 00:52:48.720
which put dozens in jail.

00:52:48.920 --> 00:52:52.760
You fight to get by
and risk being arrested over nothing.

00:52:53.360 --> 00:52:57.400
Or you stay shut indoors.

00:52:57.600 --> 00:52:59.240
That isn't progress.

00:52:59.440 --> 00:53:02.200
So we have to keep the bad guys out.

00:53:03.280 --> 00:53:06.440
You saw how our friend
had her throat cut?

00:53:07.000 --> 00:53:10.760
It's terrible.
And we still don't know who did it.

00:53:11.080 --> 00:53:16.880
Nobody cares about free women.

00:53:17.200 --> 00:53:21.960
Since the day of her murder,

00:53:22.680 --> 00:53:24.560
almost three months ago,

00:53:24.760 --> 00:53:27.680
nobody has come to investigate.

00:53:27.880 --> 00:53:31.080
But the moment a gangster or
a drug dealer is reported in Tudun James,

00:53:31.280 --> 00:53:34.800
the Judiciary Police or Crime Squad

00:53:35.000 --> 00:53:37.280
turn up in their dozens.

00:53:37.640 --> 00:53:41.840
Why didn't they come
when that poor girl was murdered?

00:53:42.120 --> 00:53:46.080
We free women would have been
reassured that people care.

00:53:46.280 --> 00:53:50.640
A single patrol car
for the murder of a woman!

00:53:50.840 --> 00:53:53.240
And this happened in our home,

00:53:55.200 --> 00:53:56.480
among us,

00:53:56.800 --> 00:53:58.040
in front of us...

00:53:58.680 --> 00:54:03.440
Look, I've noted your grievances.
I'll pass them on to the concerned.

00:54:03.760 --> 00:54:08.080
I'll even repeat them
word for word to the Prosecutor.

00:54:53.320 --> 00:54:55.000
Salissou Cikara!

00:54:56.320 --> 00:54:58.080
Salissou Cikara!

00:55:04.760 --> 00:55:09.960
Before you went to jail,
we spoke about starting

00:55:10.200 --> 00:55:11.480
a security firm.

00:55:11.640 --> 00:55:14.680
Whatever work you want to do,

00:55:14.840 --> 00:55:17.920
you need money.

00:55:18.080 --> 00:55:24.560
We'll need uniforms, boots, berets

00:55:24.760 --> 00:55:28.360
and all the accessories

00:55:28.560 --> 00:55:30.960
that will be necessary

00:55:31.160 --> 00:55:34.080
to found our security firm.

00:55:35.320 --> 00:55:38.080
We'll need money we don't have.

00:55:38.280 --> 00:55:41.920
So we've decided to work hard to get it.

00:55:42.200 --> 00:55:48.080
With the Hercules, PGG
and Pachansas guys,

00:55:48.280 --> 00:55:54.680
we've all started working at a quarry

00:55:54.920 --> 00:55:58.880
to buy what we need.

00:55:59.080 --> 00:56:03.680
We hope to have the firm running
before you're all freed.

00:56:04.000 --> 00:56:06.160
We'll contribute, too.

00:56:06.360 --> 00:56:11.200
- From jail?
- Here's our contribution.

00:56:11.400 --> 00:56:13.200
Bracelets!

00:56:13.760 --> 00:56:15.440
That's good. I'll sell them.

00:56:15.680 --> 00:56:19.960
They'll bring in some money.

00:56:20.680 --> 00:56:23.040
It'll go into the kitty!

00:56:23.400 --> 00:56:31.000
Once we have enough,
we'll start our company.

00:56:31.560 --> 00:56:34.560
It's aid that we're bringing
to ourselves.

00:56:34.760 --> 00:56:36.880
Bit by bit.

00:56:37.240 --> 00:56:40.600
We'll do it by ourselves.

00:56:41.080 --> 00:56:43.280
It's gonna happen!

00:56:43.440 --> 00:56:44.880
Say hi to everyone!

00:56:45.040 --> 00:56:46.560
For sure.

00:56:55.360 --> 00:57:03.000
I want to talk
about our current situation.

00:57:04.760 --> 00:57:07.040
It's up to us to change.

00:57:08.080 --> 00:57:13.360
Zinder is seen as the black sheep
of this country.

00:57:13.720 --> 00:57:17.680
This jail proves that: it was built
for us, for our brothers and sisters.

00:57:18.000 --> 00:57:22.080
And if not your own brothers,
your neighbor's brothers!

00:57:23.080 --> 00:57:27.240
It's always us inside these walls,

00:57:27.560 --> 00:57:31.720
so we need to learn our lesson
and put a stop to that.

00:57:31.920 --> 00:57:37.040
Those of you who are in jail
for the first time, or the second time,

00:57:37.240 --> 00:57:42.480
pull yourselves together
and really think about changing.

00:57:42.720 --> 00:57:48.440
New openings are there for the taking.

00:57:48.680 --> 00:57:53.360
There's a new security firm being set up.

00:57:53.800 --> 00:57:55.800
Our friends on the outside

00:57:56.000 --> 00:58:01.600
are putting this project
together right now.

00:58:02.480 --> 00:58:04.560
The business is up and running, guys.

00:58:04.760 --> 00:58:08.040
You have to believe me.

00:58:08.320 --> 00:58:12.760
So for anyone who's interested,
there's an opening.

00:58:13.080 --> 00:58:18.400
The first one of you to get out
must get in touch with Siniya.

00:58:18.560 --> 00:58:20.720
Everybody knows him.

00:58:33.040 --> 00:58:38.200
I was at the prison
and Cikara gave me these bracelets.

00:58:39.480 --> 00:58:44.280
Our friends want us to sell them
and put the money in the kitty.

00:58:44.600 --> 00:58:47.640
They're engraved
with the name of our palais.

00:58:47.840 --> 00:58:50.840
- So we'll sell them.
- Understood.

00:58:51.040 --> 00:58:55.600
Even if they're not freed,
they'll be proud of helping out.

00:58:56.160 --> 00:58:58.440
Anyway, we're sure they'll be freed.

00:58:58.760 --> 00:59:02.040
We need to get everything ready
for the project

00:59:02.440 --> 00:59:04.400
before the end of the month.

00:59:05.040 --> 00:59:10.680
I'll be expecting each of you
to contribute in his own way, too.

00:59:10.880 --> 00:59:17.440
We'll train like we're in the army,
so you'll have to shave that beard off.

00:59:17.640 --> 00:59:23.040
I'm not kidding.
Get rid of that beard fast!

00:59:23.240 --> 00:59:26.400
I'll do it once the business is going.

01:01:02.720 --> 01:01:04.120
Do I hit it here?

01:01:24.360 --> 01:01:28.120
It's the Malan Garba order.
He wants small stones.

01:01:28.440 --> 01:01:31.160
- Like this?
- I'd like them a little smaller.

01:01:32.040 --> 01:01:34.520
A bit smaller?
OK.

01:01:37.600 --> 01:01:40.400
Let's raise the load price
to 1,250 or 1,500 francs.

01:01:40.600 --> 01:01:43.640
This work is too hard!

01:01:43.920 --> 01:01:47.600
It's the price of pain!
Illia doesn't understand that.

01:01:47.800 --> 01:01:50.600
- No, he doesn't.
- It takes strength and pain!

01:01:52.720 --> 01:01:55.200
Great! Finish my load!

01:01:57.080 --> 01:01:58.600
Empty it in.

01:02:05.080 --> 01:02:07.400
- Good.
- Bring the barrow to the left.

01:02:28.560 --> 01:02:32.360
- Let's move it!
- It's almost prayer time.

01:02:33.200 --> 01:02:36.640
- That's true.
- The call to prayer has started.

01:02:49.000 --> 01:02:49.920
Watch your step.

01:02:50.560 --> 01:02:52.800
Yeah, otherwise we could fall.

01:03:02.520 --> 01:03:06.360
- How are things at home?
- Welcome home. How was work?

01:03:06.560 --> 01:03:10.040
I'm glad to be back.
I'm exhausted.

01:03:12.080 --> 01:03:15.080
Fetch some water for my bath.

01:03:15.240 --> 01:03:16.800
It's prayer time, too.

01:03:16.960 --> 01:03:19.600
- Was work hard?
- Yeah, I'm beat.

01:03:21.000 --> 01:03:23.880
We have six loads to deliver,

01:03:26.360 --> 01:03:31.600
so I broke and broke and broke rocks.

01:03:31.840 --> 01:03:34.120
Leave the bowl in the bucket.

01:04:25.320 --> 01:04:28.760
There are also children in Tudun James.

01:04:29.240 --> 01:04:31.040
What can you tell me about them?

01:04:31.240 --> 01:04:33.840
In Tudun James,

01:04:34.720 --> 01:04:38.640
some things scare me,
others fill me with sadness.

01:04:39.120 --> 01:04:40.560
First of all...

01:04:42.760 --> 01:04:44.920
there are the kids.

01:04:45.560 --> 01:04:51.120
Or rather, the teenage girls.

01:04:52.120 --> 01:04:58.800
Seeing them work as prostitutes
fills me with pity.

01:04:59.840 --> 01:05:04.120
And you see old men going to them.

01:05:05.400 --> 01:05:08.960
They're the same age as their daughters,
even their granddaughters!

01:05:09.240 --> 01:05:12.760
They go to them
because the girls need money.

01:05:13.280 --> 01:05:17.360
All girls of barely 15, 16 years old.

01:05:28.840 --> 01:05:31.480
A lady came and took me to Nigeria.

01:05:31.680 --> 01:05:35.200
I was at home cooking.
She said she wanted to take me away.

01:05:35.480 --> 01:05:42.960
I told her I couldn't go with her
without my mom's approval.

01:05:43.200 --> 01:05:49.680
When I told my mom,
she asked what I would do there.

01:05:49.880 --> 01:05:52.600
The lady said she sold beer,

01:05:52.880 --> 01:05:55.800
and that I would be helping her

01:05:55.960 --> 01:05:59.160
in her work.

01:06:00.000 --> 01:06:04.640
My mom said no problem.

01:06:04.840 --> 01:06:09.600
She said a prayer for me
and told me to call her after a week,

01:06:09.800 --> 01:06:14.080
to tell her whether
everything was alright.

01:06:14.280 --> 01:06:18.000
And if it wasn't,
I was to come back home.

01:06:18.520 --> 01:06:21.760
And if it was, I was to stay.

01:06:22.200 --> 01:06:26.480
A few days after getting there,
my phone disappeared.

01:06:27.000 --> 01:06:28.280
I believed it had been stolen.

01:06:28.680 --> 01:06:33.720
I found out the lady had taken it
to stop me from calling my family.

01:06:34.600 --> 01:06:39.440
I asked her what she wanted from me
and she said it wasn't selling beer.

01:06:39.760 --> 01:06:42.360
And she told me she was a prostitute.

01:06:42.640 --> 01:06:46.320
I said, "A prostitute?"
And she said, "Yes."

01:06:46.760 --> 01:06:50.920
I was so naive to believe she sold beer.

01:06:51.520 --> 01:06:54.480
Do you plan on going home now?

01:06:55.280 --> 01:06:57.320
I want to go to another country.

01:06:57.520 --> 01:07:00.520
I would prefer it
if you went back home.

01:07:01.280 --> 01:07:02.920
At your home...

01:07:03.400 --> 01:07:04.880
it would be better.

01:07:05.400 --> 01:07:09.600
- And then go somewhere else?
- No, stay there.

01:07:09.920 --> 01:07:12.840
- Go back home?
- And tell your mom everything.

01:07:13.040 --> 01:07:14.440
Why?

01:07:14.640 --> 01:07:20.400
Because if you leave
and something bad happens to you,

01:07:21.000 --> 01:07:23.880
your mom and family won't know about it.

01:07:24.080 --> 01:07:26.640
I agree, that's not good.

01:07:27.080 --> 01:07:32.000
Then you can try to get married,
open a store or even go back to school.

01:07:32.200 --> 01:07:34.200
- Back to school...
- Exactly.

01:07:55.600 --> 01:07:58.600
Daddy?
They're asking for money for school.

01:08:00.560 --> 01:08:03.040
- They're asking what?
- Money for school.

01:08:03.240 --> 01:08:06.880
- OK, how much?
- 1,100 francs.

01:08:07.120 --> 01:08:08.440
For you, too?

01:08:09.520 --> 01:08:13.400
All right, so please God.

01:08:14.680 --> 01:08:17.920
- Where's Zaneidou?
- He's at Mama's.

01:08:18.240 --> 01:08:20.960
He bought that candy
that hurts your mouth,

01:08:21.160 --> 01:08:23.480
that you're not supposed to buy.

01:08:25.640 --> 01:08:27.520
- And he bought some?
- Yes.

01:08:29.600 --> 01:08:30.880
So?

01:08:31.720 --> 01:08:33.320
Is it break time?

01:08:34.800 --> 01:08:36.760
We told you not to buy that stuff.

01:08:36.960 --> 01:08:39.840
- It's only 25 francs!
- We forbade you.

01:08:40.320 --> 01:08:41.440
Give it here.

01:08:41.760 --> 01:08:45.200
We forbade you, but we give you money
and you buy it anyway!

01:08:45.920 --> 01:08:49.240
You hid the candy!

01:08:50.320 --> 01:08:51.800
Which teacher is selling it?

01:08:52.000 --> 01:08:54.240
- It's not a teacher.
- Who then?

01:08:54.440 --> 01:08:55.800
Girl students.

01:08:56.200 --> 01:08:59.840
- Can't you denounce them?
- She buys it, too!

01:09:00.040 --> 01:09:03.760
You can die eating this.
Do you want to die?

01:09:04.920 --> 01:09:07.960
Then stop eating the stuff!

01:09:08.600 --> 01:09:09.960
- Daddy? Daddy?
- Yes?

01:09:10.160 --> 01:09:12.080
They say five children died.

01:09:12.280 --> 01:09:13.200
Did you hear that?

01:09:13.400 --> 01:09:17.160
Five children died
and you're still eating it!

01:09:17.360 --> 01:09:20.560
You want to die young, is that it?

01:09:44.960 --> 01:09:46.600
Going into the bush?

01:09:54.600 --> 01:09:56.920
- How're things?
- Good.

01:10:02.520 --> 01:10:04.440
The car's full of jerrycans!

01:10:09.280 --> 01:10:12.080
The big departure!
Put this in front.

01:10:12.680 --> 01:10:15.080
- Take me with you.
- You serious?

01:10:16.240 --> 01:10:18.120
Next time.

01:10:20.320 --> 01:10:21.800
Bye!

01:10:23.400 --> 01:10:24.640
Good luck!

01:10:28.200 --> 01:10:30.760
God be with you!

01:10:36.440 --> 01:10:38.160
We have two patrol cars on our tail!

01:10:38.520 --> 01:10:39.840
Let's beat it.

01:10:40.160 --> 01:10:44.160
- There's gas leaking out.
- He didn't close it properly.

01:10:49.400 --> 01:10:51.560
Send a motorbike out to recce.

01:10:51.920 --> 01:10:54.160
And another to follow Customs.

01:10:57.760 --> 01:11:01.760
- Do we make a detour?
- No, stay on the road.

01:11:02.640 --> 01:11:05.960
There might be a track to town.
I'll phone and check.

01:11:08.800 --> 01:11:10.480
Any news?

01:11:12.920 --> 01:11:15.520
So there are definitely two patrol cars.

01:11:15.920 --> 01:11:17.560
Two cars, right?

01:11:18.280 --> 01:11:20.160
A military patrol, too?

01:11:20.480 --> 01:11:24.360
Shit!
We'll be here longer than planned.

01:11:25.680 --> 01:11:28.240
There are two solutions:

01:11:28.520 --> 01:11:32.280
either we unload
here and go back to town empty,

01:11:33.000 --> 01:11:35.320
or we take last time's route...

01:11:37.120 --> 01:11:39.800
and come out by the bridge.
- Let's do that.

01:11:40.000 --> 01:11:41.840
We detour to the bridge.

01:11:42.440 --> 01:11:45.200
- What if we drive with no headlamps?
- In the dark?

01:11:45.400 --> 01:11:46.400
Yes.

01:11:47.760 --> 01:11:51.760
- Do you have a flashlight?
- On my cell.

01:11:52.920 --> 01:11:56.880
- You could use that.
- I'll check with Malan.

01:11:59.680 --> 01:12:06.680
If we run into them,
we group together to block their way.

01:12:07.040 --> 01:12:08.840
We occupy the whole road.

01:13:19.120 --> 01:13:22.640
You bunch of assholes,
you're blocking the road!

01:13:22.840 --> 01:13:25.760
You insolent shit!
How dare you insult us!

01:13:31.000 --> 01:13:33.720
CUSTOMS

01:14:12.800 --> 01:14:15.080
The inter-regional committee

01:14:15.240 --> 01:14:18.520
put in place
by the Niger Customs Department

01:14:18.680 --> 01:14:22.280
carried out a lightning raid
last Saturday in Zinder

01:14:22.440 --> 01:14:26.640
during which illegal
smuggled gasoline was seized.

01:14:26.800 --> 01:14:33.040
We seized 868
25-liter jerrycans of gasoline,

01:14:33.560 --> 01:14:38.680
and ten smugglers' vehicles.

01:16:12.680 --> 01:16:14.920
The hearing has started.

01:16:24.160 --> 01:16:28.200
For The State
versus Abdoul Karim Salissou, aka Cikara

01:16:29.640 --> 01:16:33.600
the court will give its verdict.

01:16:33.760 --> 01:16:37.640
Regarding all parties,

01:16:37.800 --> 01:16:42.240
according to criminal law
in the first instance, the court declares

01:16:42.400 --> 01:16:46.640
that the accused is found guilty
of all charges against him.

01:16:46.920 --> 01:16:50.960
He is sentenced
to three years' imprisonment

01:16:51.120 --> 01:16:54.960
and a fine of 20,000 francs.
Appeal within ten days.

01:16:55.560 --> 01:16:57.240
The court declares

01:16:57.400 --> 01:17:00.280
that you are guilty of all charges.

01:17:01.000 --> 01:17:05.000
You're sentenced
to three years' imprisonment

01:17:06.040 --> 01:17:08.280
and a fine of 20,000 francs.

01:18:49.560 --> 01:18:53.080
Move it if you want to become
good security guards!

01:19:48.720 --> 01:19:50.680
In quintal position!
Quintals!

01:19:51.000 --> 01:19:52.200
Up!

01:19:55.440 --> 01:19:56.640
Down!

01:20:02.240 --> 01:20:03.440
Up!

01:20:04.600 --> 01:20:06.160
Leapfrog position!

01:20:06.320 --> 01:20:08.240
OK, jump!

01:20:19.200 --> 01:20:20.240
At ease!

01:20:20.400 --> 01:20:21.600
Attention!

01:20:22.000 --> 01:20:23.040
At ease!

01:20:23.200 --> 01:20:24.480
Attention!

01:20:31.760 --> 01:20:33.080
Quick march!

01:20:34.320 --> 01:20:35.920
One, two!

01:20:36.800 --> 01:20:38.240
One, two!

01:20:38.800 --> 01:20:40.240
One, two!

01:20:43.400 --> 01:20:45.840
Call on God before starting

01:20:46.760 --> 01:20:49.200
Ask Him to answer our wishes

01:20:49.800 --> 01:20:52.560
May this song accompany us

01:20:53.680 --> 01:20:55.920
May this song accompany us

01:20:57.040 --> 01:20:58.200
On tough days

01:20:59.840 --> 01:21:00.840
Day and night...
