Fortune Seekers in Gambia | VPRO Documentary


In Gambia, Bram Vermeulen follows two types of fortune seekers. On the one hand, Gambians trying to escape poverty and unemployment in their country by undertaking a dangerous journey to Europe.
On the other hand, the West African country is known for its love tourism, which mainly floats on economic inequality between older white tourists and…

  1. This is heartbreaking to watch. How privileged we are here in the Western world while others struggle to put food on their tables. There is a huge imbalance that needs to change. Hopefully this documentary falls in the hands of good people…Thank you for sharing this very informative documentary.🙏❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🫶

  2. Stay and fight and fix your country. Europe and America is not your answer. Their same family is who sent them to those places to bring money. It is a shame they way they are treated and a worse shame the things they have to do to survive once they return. Same thing goes for all the countries outside of Africa that has a similar policy of returning citizens. Sad, but not my problem. My ancestors were sold by those who remain so Africa and all her children continue to suffer for how they treat each other still. Even worse, they are still depending on the YT man to save them after all these hundreds of years.

  3. This actions made by the Gambian government is really embarrassing, deporting youths without creating job opportunities for them, you starved and humiliated them in front of their family and friends just to filled out your pockets. They risked their lives just to crossed the Mediterranean for better life. When these hopelessness gonna come to and end😢😭

  4. You said its understandable but yet still you claim they are emotional and angry to be back in Gambia. Shows you do not understand. The pain and emotions comes from the unjust treatment of the coloniser. 8mins into your video and you have so far eluded from that point of view.

  5. I worked as a midwife in an centre for african refugees. No one (!) of these women there wanted to work in Germany. They wanted to get the money, have their children in the kindergarden or scool and wanted to meet their sisters to have a good time the whole day. The don't want to learn speaking german too.

  6. The people who come back to gambia dont tell u the trueth.They tell u allways a story….many have a other paper in a other country and hide it
    I saw it by my self.And they come in d night,because u sleep and u r at home,by day u r not in ure place.I know gambuan n other Afrikan.And d most deal with grass,stale …..and d new boys who r here are more terribel then d olders

  7. Gambians need to love their country and work together to MKE GAMBIA GREAT AGAIN. Why waste time in a country that doesn't want you. Be yourself. Work hard be honest and you will be rewarded.

  8. White european women go to gambia to have sex with very young gambians..the women pay these gambians for sex. These women are exploting gambian men.some of these get HIV as there are not of condoms. I READ all about this inWIKIPEDIA. females sex tourism. It is scandalous
    . It gives gambia a black eye
    .this is disrespectful to gambia women. Who are chaste and loving

  9. For THE MOM crying for Her Son trying to go back to Europe, let her just PRAY and Continue Praying for The son and Everything which The Son SAMA is going through will be smooth because it a prayer from Mother to Son, no one can beat that prayer . Let the mother just continue praying for her Beautiful Son Sama, and everything will be alright for Sama. Thanks.i

  10. My Brother , you have been Deported from Germany without any Reason and at the same time you have your working Permit and a Residence Permit to stay and work in Germany . So for those simple Reasons , you has a Qualified and a Citizen of Germany , you have the Right to take The German and The Gambia Government to The EU Court of Law and in that you will be taken back to Germany and you can continue your job.

    When working in Europe and you are staying in any part of EU LIGALLY , you have to know your Right and Rights. As far as your case is concern, maybe they know to pick and choose those you know less , and for that Reason The German Authorities just pick you from your working place without even allowed you to taking your valuables from your in Germany to your Home in Africa in The Gambia .

    My Brother , you have to know the Right People and Lawyers both in Germany and The Gambia for them to help you to go back to Germany to continue your work We ARE WISHING YOU THE BEST OF LUCK . Bye and thanks.

  11. what is happening in Africa is pure madness. We are not willing to change our mindsets, love and work hard in our countries, stop electing stupid and unfit leaders on tribal bases!! then we cry Africa has not opportunities while it is the continent with the most raw materials and the most youthful population. When you have resources and man power what are you lacking…. We lack patriotic visionary leaders and we lack brains…. We are bunch of stupid people who are prepared more than ever before to be enslaved and colonized if the world falls into chaos again. Pathetic!!!!

  12. Pathetic, Europe DESERVES to be overrun. Germany, France & UK are the WORST leftistz with thier open border white guilt BS. The only good immigration is legal immigration. If you go to some place illegally then you should be deported. You know if I walked to any South American or Central American country without a passport they would send my ass back the United States of God damn fast my head would spin. It seems to me only the white Western countries are the ones allowing open borders. The only countries that seem to have any notion of protecting their own citizens are Central American countries South American countries and Russ

  13. Europeans around the world never cease to amaze me. They constantly seek black skin. They continue to freely use Africans all over the world for their sexual pleasures. Europeans are purpose driven. They love having mix children with African men and women. I feel so sorry for African people all over the world. Sòoooooo sad my African brothers and sisters so sad. They know nothing about the African slave trade. I would rather live in A one room flat with roaches and rats then to sleep with a European. I value my dignity and respect my ancestors (especially the women) that went through devastating torture from those horrible.people.😢please stop this new slavery from the slave masters great great grand children😂😂😂

  14. we Africans should stop feeling sorry for ourselves. Instead lock our azz and work hard, like the Chinese, and put Africa on the economic race. Only then, others will respect us and the youth don't have to be slaves serving the needs of others but not ours.

  15. These people do not understand they will not have better in Europe. They will not have a job, they don’t speak a language…..🤷‍♀️ Why they don’t even try to make it in their own country?! They want to make the father and a mother proud?! With what?

  16. This person Bram Vermeulen created lots of disgusting problems, someone was talking, and he said finally after the misery he created he was no more able to stay in Türkiye. Beware these kind of people !.

  17. oh so its called "love tourism" "Fortune Seekers" ? hahaha.
