The wonderful music in this video was kindly provided by Khalil Salahshor. Ali played the song you are listening to in the truck. It was such beautiful sounds so I reached out to Khalil and he agreed to let me use it in the video. follow him here https://www.instagram.com/khalil_salahshor22/

Welcome back to Afghanistan. I never know what to write in this descriptions. Ummmmm. In this video I spend days in a truck. Thats more or less it. The real impressive thing here is that I managed to make 3 days in a truck engaging. I'm amazing. Just kidding. I am though.
Heres a generic thing that talks about coal mines truck routes in Afghanistan:
Every day, Afghan truck drivers risk their lives hauling coal through the Hindu Kush, navigating deadly cliffs, overloaded trucks, freezing passes and zero infrastructure. In this video, I join the drivers who keep this remote part of Afghanistan alive, to show what life is really like on these coal roads.
enjoy, mike x
