Kirghizstan: delivering to the frozen waste | France 5 | Les Routes de l'Impossible

On a frozen track in the high plains of Kirghizstan, an old van travels between the most isolated villages of the region to deliver fortune fruits”, the clementines that are given to children at parties, rare fruit that they dream of all year long. To reach these people dwelling at the world’s end, drivers must face a monster: the Pamir mountain range with its vast glaciers and extreme temperatures. These peaks of over 7,000 meters have defeated the armies of the most ferocious of conquerors. A no-man’s-land where unfettered nature allows only the boldest to survive.”
