Madagascar, the Corridors of Satan | Deadliest Journeys
On the island of Madagascar, the tracks are in poor condition, ravaged by the numerous tropical cyclones which ravage the region and the lack of maintenance. During the rainy season, which lasts almost six months, the roads deteriorate further. Here, only tractors are capable of tackling these tracks. At the wheel of his metal giant, Thierry's mission is to transport four tons of food to a village cut off from the world. A six-hour drive from the capital, on the Hauts Plateaux, the village of Antanetibe organizes the great Malagasy ritual: “the turning of the dead”. In the capital, salvagers bring new life to everything that is broken. One of them, Marcelin, finds parts destined for the dumpster to transform them into everyday objects that he resells on the markets.
