To see how the poorest of the poor, the most unfortunate, live and suffer, and to compare their problems to mine...it sets me straight in just a few minutes and reminds me that I know NOTHING about suffering because I have never truly experienced the real thing.
Now that is real journalism. It is a shame, that in my country, the news outlets only show what is making them the most money. Usually our government employees fighting like children in high school and using our tax dollars to do so. If this type of journalism were to make it's way to the masses, maybe, just maybe, we, as a society, could find it in our hearts to help one another.

God bless them and their families,I hope they can move away from there and live comfortably and happy one day
@@BF... I understand your point , it is a valid point indeed but often in 3rd world countries birth control is expensive for poor people and not as easily available as it is in America so people don’t use protection which leads to more reproduction. Also Poor people historically have had high death rates due to less access to medicine. This uncertainty often pushes them to have more kids to compensate. I’m just saying these are some of the reasons why in 3rd world countries people have so many children
Amazing how others around the world live and deal with their immediate environment . What a great attitude that that last person interviewed had , goes to prove not to take anything for granted !
Absolutely show it to their government that set up rules of that country. Their government allows it because it makes them money. The people on the top are getting that side money to look away. Other countries telling this government how they should run their land and their people. .....history I wish their government love their people but like everyone else they don't care about poor. I got homeless people my state. They won't help find affordable housing because my state is getting rich with high rents collecting taxes.
Why is it "necessary to show to the world?" It's a result of their government's policies. You expect the US and NATO to be a white knight and intervene in meaningless squabbles abroad that don't solve anything? Sorry bub, you guys are on your own. Any time these countries get help from developed nations, it's always "they caused more harm than good." So, yeah, it's your problem if you live in this country and showing it to "the world" doesn't change anything when the corrupt people in charge of Indonesia doesn't care about anything changing and instead blame everything they did wrong on "the West always holding us back and sabotaging our government."
I've worked as a recycling sorter where swarms of flies, piles of maggots, garbage juices and human wastes were daily encounters and gets worse during summer. But I had proper ppe, filter mask, safety glasses and 3 layered gloves etc. This video makes my job looks much better off than what these people are doing.
sebagai orang Indonesia, saya akui mereka yang berjuang ditengah ketimpangan punya keikhlasan dan rasa syukur yang tidak bisa terukur oleh orang-orang yang berkecukupan. bahkan saya berani bertaruh sesulit apapun mereka, senyumannya lebih manis daripada realita kehidupan mereka
Unbelievably sad and also amazing to see how these people adapt and reuse other people's trash for their own benefit. This is why I believe rich people should be charitable with their money to help people like this, not just to throw their stuff away for others to scrounge for to get by. Granted it's their money and their right on how to spend it but after seeing something like this, it just breaks my heart.
These people are amazing, they live, eat, work and pray in the shadow of a mountain of garbage. The fact that they survive is an incredible testament of the human body, how our body's adapt to there environment. There noses adapted to the smell and I bet there immune systems became very strong after living and eating so much contamination.
@@skeetrix5577 this isnt the real world, its a disgusting by product of whites impact on the earth. Creating plastic was the dumbest invention ever, in the name of greed
As an Indonesian myself let me tell you the translator really watered down what the man is saying. He is actually speaking in a more complex and intricate way than what is translated.
Most of the food gets wasted before it's even sold. Stores throw away perfectly good food everyday because it's 'expired'. But in reality most of it is still good to eat for days and sometimes even weeks. Also distributors are to blame for this aswell. Many fruits and vegetables with small imperfections get thrown away before they even reach the stores. Small dents in fruits and insect bites in the leaves, etc are some of the reasons they throw away perfectly healthy food. So i wouldn't feel to bad for wasting food.
I use to but then I realized it feeds earth. I'm talking food not items. I bury my cat next to a bush that always needs fertilizer every year to flower. that year I didn't fertilize it because it flower with help of my beloved cat Twiggy. She made the soil Fertile with her body.
@@jorgen8630 Mostly that's just false. Fruit that's 'not aesthetically correct' gets turned into other products instead. Expiry dates are a safety feature. We do away with them and healthcare costs skyrocket because suddenly the cases of food poisoning multiply by a factor of 100. Aside from that, organic trash isn't the probleem. Wait half a year and it's composted. It's the huge amounts of plastic that are the main issue.
There's one thing i always say to myself all the time and that's ,"No matter where in the world you live and reside. There's always another plays struggling worse than you somewhere else.." Im just grateful to be able to have a roof over my head, bed, food to eat :)
All of these comments are ridiculous. You see people living in abject poverty, eating garbage, and you feel grateful?? Why don't you feel angry? You realize this isn't random, right? Look up Oxfam's report, "Inequality in Indonesia: millions kept in poverty" "Today, the four richest men in Indonesia have more wealth than the combined total of the poorest 100 million people." Learn about generational poverty and how few opportunities Indonesians living in poverty have to better their lives.

@@coolandgood1010 and why do they want more money? Hm, maybe to support their families better or have more to eat? So maybe if their local economic system wasn't so horrible, they wouldn't have to choose to work horrible jobs!

I once passed that road (bantar gebang), the smell made me nauseous, and I didn't want to go near it, I saluted the scavengers. Hopefully they are healthy and have a better life, Aamiin.
If ever we think we have a rough life or we got problems in life we need to remember these guys living walking proof that whatever you're going through might not be that bad
Wow the scene at 6:25 where it pans up so you can see just how absolutely enormous this pile is and with all the people and machines working all over it. Unbelievable
I always tell people here in London, once you're happy with running water, electricity and food in the fridge, anything else is a bonus! These people haven't even got that and they're thankful
Exactly. The very last message is what I'm constantly telling my coworkers who keep throwing out perfectly good food just because they "don't believe in leftovers". I've become the leftover police and now hunt for things they're gonna throw out so I can collect it and give it to the homeless. Its freaking ridiculous what people are willing to throw out when others are starving.
You can throw but put them in tightly seal containers and multiple plastic. Most of the times, we rarely meet poor people like since they lived outside of the city
You should see McDonald's. When I worked there when I was young, we had to throw away full bucket of french fires every 30 to 45 minutes. These are those big paint buckets. McDonald's is the most wasteful fastfood restaurant I've ever seen.
I went to Brazil for half a year. I saw a man throwing not even half a cigarette on the streets. 5 people swarmed it, and the lucky man got to keep it. He then had enough tobacco to make his own cigarette. It puts things in perspective. I dumpster dive from time to time. It's scary the amount of good food is discarded. People are too spoiled.
I mean It's thier choice? You wanna give your leftovers to the homeless go for It lmao Doesn't mean everyone has to have the same mindset yo. Isn't that specific person's fault ppl don't wanna get out and work for a living and Isnt thier responsibility to feed people who dont wanna do better for themselves 🤷🏻♂️
I’ve lived in crippling poverty, but i managed to claw my way to great success. There’s never a day that goes by where I don’t think about where I came from, and how much closer poverty is then most people realize. I am truly grateful.
I used to work about 2 miles away from there, and when it rains, you could smell it, imagine 2 miles away and I can still smell it, hope the best for them
I admire really these guys. They demonstrate the full extent of human tennacity and ingenuity, and although I agree that it is pretty awful that they end up living like this, the fact that so many seem to survive, actually makes me feel slightly more optimistic about our chances of surviving, as a species, when we are now faced with so many challenges of our own making. It is a shame they can't catch that hazardous methane and use it to power electricity generators. Being able to learn from what these guys have learned to do, and apply it to useful things like power generation is one way we could start to reduce the damage and wastefulness that our previous easy throw away society has caused.
There are plants that do exactly that, including some in the US. The better option is to prevent the methane generation entirely of course, but in the meantime it can be done.
They should use that ingenuity to make something that sustains itself instead of wasting energy on something that only gets them by for the current day.
@@thejman5552there are thousands of people living like this You think it's because you're smarter and harder working than every one of them?

@synapticburn well, for one, if I was in a country that provided me only with the opportunity to dig thru trash to make a living, I'd use my entire life savings to gtfo. Get the family out somehow as well. There's countries with open borders, you just need to find transportation. It really doesn't get worse than digging thru the trash. Anything is better literally anything but they believe this is acceptable income
@@thejman5552 yeah just buy them all train tickets and pay off the corrupt officials for your passports, then the corrupt officials in the next country for your temporary visas, then try to find work at somewhere that will hire illegal immigrants...
If I could donate to these people directly somehow and know they received it. I totally would do it. Puts things in perspective and helps me realize how good I actually have it in life. Very fortunate.
That wouldn't be too hard nowadays would it. Just have to have someone videotape it and document the peoples names and info about who receives donations.
Sad truth of this is that people who give with a big heart dont realise that corporate greed is still there. If you give £/$100 only less than 0.01 goes to that country, and the leaders get it. I'm glad I have no children. Thats a sad statement.
Yes pray REALLY HARD, the more prayer the better off these people will be obviously. You can tell by how much that guy was thanking god that he could scavenge literal garbage to feed his kids.
That man is respectable human that is Grateful to be able to feed his family. His mind is free from bitterness and hate, he has accept the life that was given to him. I'm sure the day he dies he will be giving thanks to God for all the moments of happiness he enjoy next to his loyal family and friends. 8billion lifes living different difficulties levels .
I'll never understand how it's legal to throw food away for example: I use to work at a banana and potato plantation and if the banana or potato doesn't meet the specific size criteria it gets thrown away. And when I mean thrown away, it gets crushed and shredded through this machine. Such a waste of food that could be given out to the poor. Nobody on this earth should be eating out of the dumpster.
Here in the states if companies gave food away that hasn't been approved by the FDA and somebody gets sick or dies they can get sued making it pointless to sell anything bc of the lawsuit costs.
@@joetroutt7425 it's not approval from the FDA that causes food to get thrown out. lots of times, farmers throw away foods with small blemishes because they aren't marketable, despite still being edible.
@@darksideorbit8898 it's not farmers. It's the ppl who are in the factories that process the food that come from the farmers. If the company that makes a product sees a blemish then they throw it out bc it makes them look bad. There have been cases though where ppl have eaten food and gotten sick and sued the company from where it had come from.
My heart is felt when he asked the wealthy to bring unfinished food scrap to the poor instead of tossing them in the bin. The sad reality is wealthy people love their time just as everyone else in the world and it could be extremely time consuming for them almost as if it became a laborious job like these scavengers. There are good hearted wealthy people, but extremely rare to hear about. As most people do in their daily jobs and activities, they don’t think much about anyone else that isn’t connected or related to their activities or job and just continue on with their own lives. Trying to make a living. I pray and wish luck and god’s watchful eyes over everyone doing jobs that risk their lives.
the sad reality is not that the wealthy people are like this, they are still a minority. Its the middle class like you who is sad if you look at it. We throw more stuff away then all the rich combine. Look into one own bosom before you preach against the rich i would say. Many of us are guilty, has nothing to do with being wealthy or rich.
I put this in my "Makes me Cry" playlist. But this really does not make me cry, it hurts my heart. It really makes me ache, that this could happen anywhere. I think Insider News did a fantastic job of reporting this as well. They offer very little commentary, but give us everything we need to see, to know this is just wrong. I'm not offering any solutions, just saying there must be solutions no one is trying.
This video is also very touching for me, I was born in 2001 and grew up in the same environment as this. My father worked as a scavenger from 1998 to 2012 in East Jakarta .We lived in a house with plywood walls and a floor covered with advertising billboards that my father got from the garbage disposal, from the trash i able to graduate to high school and get a much better job than my father, from the trash also my father has money to open his antiques business. we live better than before and hopefully the same thing will happen to everyone in bantar gebang.

Only for the happy few. Indonesia mineral resource exports are dominated by natural gas and crude petroleum. Other major mineral exports include coal, nickel, bauxite, gold, tin, and copper.
I worry about people who have to live like this. I know I considered myself poor and definitely can share horrific stories but I never had to eat trash leftovers My kids are better off now then I'm their earlier growing years. They used to claim they were poor and i would always remind them of my upbringing I would also say, i appreciate what I had back then anyway. As much as it sucked, there is always someone else who is or could be at a lower station in life then you. Which is why I totally understand what the father said by wanting his kids to be better off than he was. It might not be much but I'm going to kick and claw my way up and i hope they do. So their children can benefit from previous generations. I take pride in holding that as a goal for my family.
I live in Australia and I'm a bit of a whinger to be honest ..but when I watch shows like this and see how happy this 1st man is with his family just shows me how lucky I am and I should be more grateful for where I am .. hopefully one day I can be just as happy as this man thank you!
This situation is also same in My Country Philippines. I hope one day that SouthEast Asia countries will prosper someday and will never experience this kind of things. It so sad to watch.
Maybe send some of your administration to India. They can learn from us how we are removing our legacy landfills and then implement that in your country.
Wow, this just breaks my heart, nobody should have to live this way. These people can teach us a lot about perseverance and gratitude. I am so ashamed because I have developed food aversions that come and go, sometimes it’s smell, sometimes taste. I think it is because of my medications so sometimes I can’t eat certain stuff. This shows me that I need to find a way to overcome it.
When we all seem to forget our lives aren't fulfilled because when don't have that particular job, the night we didn't get the chance to eat at that high-class restaurant. Even all of us are mad in some way because of food prices and gas prices going up. We all need to remember, we got it good despite all the changes we've encountered because of the Covid and of course, we have it rough sometimes and every situation has its hard times. But when you see this video and see that some humans are grateful for all and see it as God's gift. My friends, these are the richest people in the world from the heart and understanding of life's challenges
Always be grateful for what you got. And worry less about what you don't got. I can't imagine living in these conditions, yet these people are still humble and grateful. Even through struggles, I will keep my head high just as these resilient people do. God Bless them 💜
There was a version of these in the Philippines years ago...it was called the Smokey Mountain....but after the tragedy hit the Smokey Mountain it was closed for good...

@@BF... I understand your point , it is a valid point indeed but often in 3rd world countries birth control is expensive for poor people and not as easily available as it is in America so people don’t use protection which leads to more reproduction. Also Poor people historically have had high death rates due to less access to medicine. This uncertainty often pushes them to have more kids to compensate. I’m just saying these are some of the reasons why in 3rd world countries people have so many children
@@BF... Your perspective makes sense, but if that happened then only the wealthy would have kids, which isn't good either
Amazing how others around the world live and deal with their immediate environment . What a great attitude that that last person interviewed had , goes to prove not to take anything for granted !
This is heartbreaking, and absolutely necessary to show to the world.
They do it to themselves.
This is wonderful, they get a job they enjoy and they play an important role.
Absolutely show it to their government that set up rules of that country. Their government allows it because it makes them money. The people on the top are getting that side money to look away.
Other countries telling this government how they should run their land and their people. .....history
I wish their government love their people but like everyone else they don't care about poor.
I got homeless people my state. They won't help find affordable housing because my state is getting rich with high rents collecting taxes.
Why is it "necessary to show to the world?" It's a result of their government's policies. You expect the US and NATO to be a white knight and intervene in meaningless squabbles abroad that don't solve anything? Sorry bub, you guys are on your own. Any time these countries get help from developed nations, it's always "they caused more harm than good."
So, yeah, it's your problem if you live in this country and showing it to "the world" doesn't change anything when the corrupt people in charge of Indonesia doesn't care about anything changing and instead blame everything they did wrong on "the West always holding us back and sabotaging our government."
Why heartbreaking. I am from the USA and want to do this full time but I can't. No landfills here.
What a disgusting world we've created.
I've worked as a recycling sorter where swarms of flies, piles of maggots, garbage juices and human wastes were daily encounters and gets worse during summer. But I had proper ppe, filter mask, safety glasses and 3 layered gloves etc. This video makes my job looks much better off than what these people are doing.
Sounds like fun, ngl
i hope you get paid well my brother.
There's a lot of way to feel grateful, and we just need some reminder, sometimes.

Unbelievably sad and also amazing to see how these people adapt and reuse other people's trash for their own benefit. This is why I believe rich people should be charitable with their money to help people like this, not just to throw their stuff away for others to scrounge for to get by. Granted it's their money and their right on how to spend it but after seeing something like this, it just breaks my heart.
ALL people should be charitable not just the rich who are the most charitable of us all. we all can do our part no matter how small.

These people are amazing, they live, eat, work and pray in the shadow of a mountain of garbage. The fact that they survive is an incredible testament of the human body, how our body's adapt to there environment.

@@Magst3r1dignity and poeticism
I've always felt bad about wasting food that I buy. This just solidifies my guilt.
Most of the food gets wasted before it's even sold. Stores throw away perfectly good food everyday because it's 'expired'. But in reality most of it is still good to eat for days and sometimes even weeks. Also distributors are to blame for this aswell. Many fruits and vegetables with small imperfections get thrown away before they even reach the stores.
Small dents in fruits and insect bites in the leaves, etc are some of the reasons they throw away perfectly healthy food. So i wouldn't feel to bad for wasting food.
I use to but then I realized it feeds earth. I'm talking food not items.
I bury my cat next to a bush that always needs fertilizer every year to flower. that year I didn't fertilize it because it flower with help of my beloved cat Twiggy. She made the soil Fertile with her body.
You would prefer people like him starve? I think you should throw out more food.
Don't worry, God is sending them the gift of trash. They are thankful for it.
@@jorgen8630
Mostly that's just false. Fruit that's 'not aesthetically correct' gets turned into other products instead.
Expiry dates are a safety feature. We do away with them and healthcare costs skyrocket because suddenly the cases of food poisoning multiply by a factor of 100.
Aside from that, organic trash isn't the probleem. Wait half a year and it's composted.
It's the huge amounts of plastic that are the main issue.
There's one thing i always say to myself all the time and that's ,"No matter where in the world you live and reside. There's always another plays struggling worse than you somewhere else.." Im just grateful to be able to have a roof over my head, bed, food to eat :)
All of these comments are ridiculous. You see people living in abject poverty, eating garbage, and you feel grateful?? Why don't you feel angry? You realize this isn't random, right? Look up Oxfam's report, "Inequality in Indonesia: millions kept in poverty"
"Today, the four richest men in Indonesia have more wealth than the combined total of the poorest 100 million people."
Learn about generational poverty and how few opportunities Indonesians living in poverty have to better their lives.

Wow the scene at 6:25 where it pans up so you can see just how absolutely enormous this pile is and with all the people and machines working all over it. Unbelievable
movie reference
Suddenly I feel that I have nothing to complain about.
I always tell people here in London, once you're happy with running water, electricity and food in the fridge, anything else is a bonus! These people haven't even got that and they're thankful
Exactly. The very last message is what I'm constantly telling my coworkers who keep throwing out perfectly good food just because they "don't believe in leftovers". I've become the leftover police and now hunt for things they're gonna throw out so I can collect it and give it to the homeless. Its freaking ridiculous what people are willing to throw out when others are starving.
Thanq
You can throw but put them in tightly seal containers and multiple plastic. Most of the times, we rarely meet poor people like since they lived outside of the city
You should see McDonald's. When I worked there when I was young, we had to throw away full bucket of french fires every 30 to 45 minutes. These are those big paint buckets. McDonald's is the most wasteful fastfood restaurant I've ever seen.
I went to Brazil for half a year. I saw a man throwing not even half a cigarette on the streets. 5 people swarmed it, and the lucky man got to keep it. He then had enough tobacco to make his own cigarette.
It puts things in perspective. I dumpster dive from time to time. It's scary the amount of good food is discarded. People are too spoiled.
I mean It's thier choice?
You wanna give your leftovers to the homeless go for It lmao
Doesn't mean everyone has to have the same mindset yo.
Isn't that specific person's fault ppl don't wanna get out and work for a living and Isnt thier responsibility to feed people who dont wanna do better for themselves 🤷🏻♂️
I hate that we just throw away food and items and no one wants to bother trying to rescue them… this man, in my opinion, is doing God’s work…
I hate that people would put their children I danger by bringing home food they know and admitted to being expired.
I’ve lived in crippling poverty, but i managed to claw my way to great success. There’s never a day that goes by where I don’t think about where I came from, and how much closer poverty is then most people realize. I am truly grateful.

I admire really these guys. They demonstrate the full extent of human tennacity and ingenuity, and although I agree that it is pretty awful that they end up living like this, the fact that so many seem to survive, actually makes me feel slightly more optimistic about our chances of surviving, as a species, when we are now faced with so many challenges of our own making.
It is a shame they can't catch that hazardous methane and use it to power electricity generators. Being able to learn from what these guys have learned to do, and apply it to useful things like power generation is one way we could start to reduce the damage and wastefulness that our previous easy throw away society has caused.
There are plants that do exactly that, including some in the US. The better option is to prevent the methane generation entirely of course, but in the meantime it can be done.
They should use that ingenuity to make something that sustains itself instead of wasting energy on something that only gets them by for the current day.

It’s crazy what we view as everyday normal struggle would look like a miracle for people in other situations. Hard to wrap my head around it.
If I could donate to these people directly somehow and know they received it. I totally would do it. Puts things in perspective and helps me realize how good I actually have it in life. Very fortunate.
That wouldn't be too hard nowadays would it. Just have to have someone videotape it and document the peoples names and info about who receives donations.
Sad truth of this is that people who give with a big heart dont realise that corporate greed is still there. If you give £/$100 only less than 0.01 goes to that country, and the leaders get it. I'm glad I have no children. Thats a sad statement.

I'll never understand how it's legal to throw food away for example: I use to work at a banana and potato plantation and if the banana or potato doesn't meet the specific size criteria it gets thrown away. And when I mean thrown away, it gets crushed and shredded through this machine. Such a waste of food that could be given out to the poor. Nobody on this earth should be eating out of the dumpster.

@@joetroutt7425 it's not approval from the FDA that causes food to get thrown out. lots of times, farmers throw away foods with small blemishes because they aren't marketable, despite still being edible.
@@darksideorbit8898 it's not farmers. It's the ppl who are in the factories that process the food that come from the farmers.

I thought I was a living a rough life till I watched this. I'm so grateful for what I have
My heart is felt when he asked the wealthy to bring unfinished food scrap to the poor instead of tossing them in the bin. The sad reality is wealthy people love their time just as everyone else in the world and it could be extremely time consuming for them almost as if it became a laborious job like these scavengers. There are good hearted wealthy people, but extremely rare to hear about. As most people do in their daily jobs and activities, they don’t think much about anyone else that isn’t connected or related to their activities or job and just continue on with their own lives. Trying to make a living.
I pray and wish luck and god’s watchful eyes over everyone doing jobs that risk their lives.
the sad reality is not that the wealthy people are like this, they are still a minority.
Its the middle class like you who is sad if you look at it. We throw more stuff away then all the rich combine.
Look into one own bosom before you preach against the rich i would say.
Many of us are guilty, has nothing to do with being wealthy or rich.

I put this in my "Makes me Cry" playlist. But this really does not make me cry, it hurts my heart. It really makes me ache, that this could happen anywhere.

I'm not offering any solutions, just saying there must be solutions no one is trying.
This video is also very touching for me, I was born in 2001 and grew up in the same environment as this. My father worked as a scavenger from 1998 to 2012 in East Jakarta .We lived in a house with plywood walls and a floor covered with advertising billboards that my father got from the garbage disposal, from the trash i able to graduate to high school and get a much better job than my father, from the trash also my father has money to open his antiques business. we live better than before and hopefully the same thing will happen to everyone in bantar gebang.

Only for the happy few. Indonesia mineral resource exports are dominated by natural gas and crude petroleum. Other major mineral exports include coal, nickel, bauxite, gold, tin, and copper.
I worry about people who have to live like this. I know I considered myself poor and definitely can share horrific stories but I never had to eat trash leftovers
My kids are better off now then I'm their earlier growing years. They used to claim they were poor and i would always remind them of my upbringing
I would also say, i appreciate what I had back then anyway. As much as it sucked, there is always someone else who is or could be at a lower station in life then you.
Which is why I totally understand what the father said by wanting his kids to be better off than he was. It might not be much but I'm going to kick and claw my way up and i hope they do. So their children can benefit from previous generations. I take pride in holding that as a goal for my family.
