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.

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.

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.

I think anyone has the right to move anywhere just like you do. If better opportunities lie elsewhere beyond your continent one shouldn't be forced to remain put. Lots of Westerners leave to work or live abroad, should they be compelled to take your advice also?

Rom 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; Psalms 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. Acts 8:37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Corinthians 15:3-4 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. ,....
