Eat Bitter: Striving for a better life in the Central African Republic | BBC News
In the Central African Republic, one of Africa’s poorest countries, local sand diver Thomas Boa and Chinese construction manager Jianmin Luan struggle to improve their fortunes.
They “eat bitter” today in the hope of a better tomorrow, but with no guarantees of what their futures may hold.

Wow, dugout canoes…
I think the end of the documentary with the music said it all. It’s asked “why are Central Africans like that.” This documentary showed an unregulated society . It also showed how terrible our leaders are. The president and officials only came during the opening of the bank for photo opportunities.
Wow, fantastic documentary. Well done 🙂 Interesting glimpse into the universe of fellow brothers and sisters elsewhere on the planet. Wishing them all the best, very inspiring how they find wisdom despite all the suffering.
this touched my heart ❤️
You can be sure these people don't want Net Zero… nor do they want their kids digging up lithium.
The reality here in Africa.
bbc, let them live better life
We don't care has long as we have family values
😢
Très beau documentaire. Mais il eut été instructif de montrer que pour saisir de meilleures opportunités afin améliorer sa vie, cela passe par…une solide éducation. Le chinois peut saisir l'opportunité de gérer un chantier de construction parce qu'il a reçu cette formation. Le pêcheur centrafricain, hélas, a dû quitter très tôt l'école…et la vie ne lui laisse que des opportunités très dures et…pas d'accès aux banques du pays pour développer son activité.

This is an excerpt from the upcoming documentary Eat Bitter (2023). Am abridged version is currently available for streaming on BBC iPlayer.
Bbc why don't you mention the case of hind rajab
Tough times don't last..Tough people do.
Good morning everyone it's possible to look for and focus on others culture to improve our family
The chinese want to replicate what they hated . Colonialism.
As long as it's us it's ok right ?
As long as we make the money , profit , get the resources it's all OK….
Interesting clip, thanks.
Very sad for African people,RIP African leaders 😢

Enough to know the USA created hells in the 21st century I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. I pledged my allegiance to Monaco. 💋💋
Instead of being colonized by Europe, they should be colonized by China. They would be much better off (if that fails too, maybe India should be next) 🙂
Fun fact you can like comment by double tapping them ,also you can comment by triple tapping them!😊
Taste Bitter then you can Taste Sweet ❤️
Everybody moving to Europe or America not going to Solve World's Problems or Poverty actually its going to create Massive Chaos in Europe and America, which is already taking Place in Some European countries like Sweden and Germany.
the Best Solution is everybody working Hard in their Own countries and Fixing their Own countries and transforming their own Countries into a better place so that the Population of their own country gets better and prosperous life in the Place where they are born.
Note: Rome was not Built in a Day, it takes time and therefore people of all countries must work hard in their own countries to improve their own Countries.
They seem more hard working than the blacks outside of Africa
So these are the scientists youre trying to import to the west?
Pure propaganda…
The Chinese are exploiting Africa in ways that we never did, but you won’t talk about that, BBC. The story of one hardworking man doesn’t change that.
The diver is a good, hardworking man who is trying to improve his life and that of his family, which is better than 90% of the opportunists who come here illegally. Another subject that you won’t discuss with impartiality. Again: the story of one hardworking man won’t change that.
Try harder.
Africa richest country on earth
Raped for resources by the west
NCSWIC NOTHING
To think you even need make up. Reveal yourselves.
Bunch of shit faced mosquitoes.
Not being born African or Indian is life's greatest blessing lol
❤❤
Africa is being owned and slowly destroyed by Chinese Communist Party
France is to blame and responsible for the suffering of the people in Central and West Africa
Just make sure you STAY THERE
Meanwhile a German 15 year old has been raped and beaten by 11 non natives. Repeatedly. And got no time in jail? Are you people insane?
