00:03:56 |
The difference between |
00:03:58 |
Do you see this chunk? |
00:04:03 |
I'm going to put it to the test now. |
00:04:05 |
You see, it's rock. |
00:04:09 |
This rust-colored lump is coal, see? |
00:04:15 |
Coal. |
00:04:18 |
And then you've also got |
00:04:24 |
they're dark brown and look like coal, |
00:04:30 |
I check each shovelful for coal |
00:04:36 |
no matter how small it is. |
00:04:39 |
There's definitely coal here. |
00:04:43 |
If you dig deeper into this hole, |
00:04:47 |
there's definitely coal, back there, |
00:04:52 |
great big chunks. |
00:05:25 |
Now everything's frozen |
00:05:28 |
This time of year I can fill one sack a day. |
00:05:32 |
But in the summertime |
00:05:35 |
Honest, 2 to 3 sacks. |
00:06:15 |
Alexei Stakhanov |
00:06:28 |
August 31, 1935 |
00:06:30 |
A Historic Night |
00:06:42 |
Donbass, Soviet Union |
00:06:54 |
102 tons of coal in one shift. |
00:07:08 |
Long live the Stakhanovite movement! |
00:07:11 |
This land and age has grown great through work, |
00:07:15 |
across the vast and open country... |
00:07:20 |
the nation of Stakhanov heroes |
00:07:24 |
and miners wage the fight for coal, |
00:07:28 |
the nation of Stakhanov heroes |
00:07:33 |
and miners wage the fight for coal. |
00:07:36 |
In times of peace as well as war... |
00:07:41 |
miners always love their country. |
00:07:45 |
the nation of Stakhanov heroes |
00:07:49 |
prepared to fight the enemy. |
00:07:55 |
You can't compare us with Stakhanov, |
00:08:05 |
We're not driven by enthusiasm. |
00:08:07 |
We're not being pushed: |
00:08:10 |
That was all just a show. |
00:08:11 |
Yeah, just a show, |
00:08:16 |
No, Stakhanovism wasn't a show, |
00:08:18 |
it was a movement |
00:08:21 |
No, Wolodja, |
00:08:23 |
Sure, but we're motivated |
00:08:26 |
Our enthusiasm comes from the |
00:08:28 |
We work to survive. |
00:08:29 |
If you don't work, |
00:08:32 |
And that's that. |
00:08:35 |
When Petrowitsch |
00:08:37 |
"Hello, mine." |
00:08:41 |
It's a kind of substitute prayer. |
00:08:48 |
You come in and say, |
00:08:50 |
go in further and say, |
00:08:54 |
Or: "Tremble, mine! |
00:08:56 |
"Here comes the drunken coal digger!" |
00:09:05 |
We slaughtered the cow today. |
00:09:56 |
This son of a bitch is driving me crazy. |
00:10:02 |
Pickax? |
00:10:12 |
Okay, buddy, here we go! |
00:10:54 |
We used to work in government mines, |
00:10:57 |
but they're all shut down now. |
00:11:00 |
We had to find new jobs, |
00:11:04 |
How we found this place? |
00:11:10 |
The pits were already here. |
00:11:14 |
We went in, |
00:11:17 |
and that's how we started |
00:11:21 |
It was as simple as that. |
00:11:30 |
Not just sometimes, |
00:11:33 |
It just has to cave in 10cm |
00:11:36 |
There'd be no way |
00:11:41 |
Is there still some in there? |
00:11:46 |
Our grandfathers used to call |
00:12:37 |
C'mon, slow down a little. |
00:12:41 |
Just keep pushing and |
00:14:08 |
My daughter told me her school |
00:14:14 |
There's water |
00:14:16 |
Everyone keeps their |
00:14:19 |
Shit, all they do is take off their |
00:14:24 |
Those fuckin' idiots. |
00:14:32 |
The dumplings are good, |
00:14:35 |
Ah, they were cooked in oil, |
00:14:39 |
We should have |
00:14:44 |
We should have worked faster. |
00:14:49 |
Is your goat doing better? |
00:14:51 |
Yes, she's better. |
00:14:56 |
Tanja feeds her with a syringe. |
00:15:02 |
One of mine died. |
00:15:04 |
What, a kid? |
00:15:06 |
What happened? |
00:15:11 |
Borislawa fed and fed it, |
00:15:14 |
We're doing it right. My wife says, |
00:15:19 |
"I'm following the book. |
00:15:22 |
"Let them be scrawny. |
00:15:26 |
Who knows, |
00:17:11 |
Don't get stuck. |
00:17:32 |
Stop! Easy does it! |
00:17:37 |
Wait till he's on his feet. |
00:17:44 |
Here we go! |
00:18:33 |
How our life together has been |
00:18:36 |
It's been good, right? |
00:18:41 |
Life itself is full of happiness. |
00:18:43 |
Especially when we were |
00:18:46 |
During vacations we'd drive all over, |
00:18:50 |
Yes, we had a car |
00:18:53 |
We always went some place. |
00:18:56 |
Even now, we take outdoor trips with |
00:19:02 |
And our celebrations are usually |
00:19:08 |
But - we've lived together |
00:19:10 |
and have never celebrated our anniversary. |
00:19:14 |
In fact, we never really celebrated |
00:19:16 |
I used to come here on my breaks, |
00:19:21 |
I was in my third year and afterwards |
00:19:30 |
He asked me, |
00:19:33 |
We were celebrating New Year's |
00:19:36 |
On January 2, he woke up |
00:19:42 |
"You know what, we should get married. |
00:19:49 |
I captured her. |
00:22:10 |
Hi. |
00:22:14 |
Who do we have here? |
00:22:17 |
Why are you carrying her? |
00:22:20 |
She's so little, our Knopochka! |
00:22:24 |
Say: "How do you do?" |
00:22:30 |
Is she doing alright now? |
00:22:34 |
Yes, she's all better now. |
00:22:52 |
Is there anything to eat? |
00:22:55 |
Yes, I made pelmeni. |
00:22:58 |
Yes, run me a bath. |
00:23:02 |
Are you tired? |
00:23:04 |
I'm exhausted. |
00:23:07 |
Do you want to lie down? |
00:23:12 |
I just want to sleep. |
00:23:13 |
You've been lying on your back |
00:23:16 |
I'm hungry. |
00:23:18 |
Your dinner |
00:23:20 |
Meanwhile you can run my bath. |
00:23:23 |
In a second. |
00:23:27 |
Of course our pit is illegal |
00:23:31 |
But we see things differently. |
00:23:33 |
The state doesn't give us |
00:23:36 |
But we have to survive somehow. |
00:23:40 |
Yes, and feed our families, |
00:23:43 |
I'm not getting rich. |
00:23:48 |
I'm doing this to survive, |
00:25:03 |
At least you could work |
00:25:07 |
I'm not complaining, |
00:25:13 |
In any case I'm staying home tomorrow. |
00:25:39 |
Do you like this job? |
00:25:41 |
I think it's great. |
00:25:45 |
To warm us up |
00:25:52 |
Otherwise... |
00:25:54 |
Sure we'd rather have |
00:25:56 |
a job where we weren't |
00:25:58 |
where we could wear clean clothes. |
00:26:01 |
But we don't have that. |
00:26:07 |
We should have gone to college. |
00:26:09 |
And what good would |
00:26:11 |
Knowledge is power. |
00:26:14 |
No good. |
00:26:16 |
and then none |
00:26:19 |
Everything's closing, |
00:26:23 |
That's the way it is. |
00:26:59 |
As a girl, I wanted to become a dancer, |
00:27:04 |
I loved to dance. |
00:27:07 |
Now I dance with |
00:27:10 |
That looks terrific. |
00:27:13 |
You haul 1.5 to 2 tons a day and |
00:27:19 |
What do you want to do tonight? |
00:27:24 |
I can't wait to take a bath. |
00:27:28 |
I don't know yet, I'm tired. |
00:27:29 |
We could watch TV together. |
00:27:32 |
It's too far for me, |
00:27:38 |
On "The Word of Life" |
00:27:40 |
"You commit a sin |
00:27:43 |
"Stay home and pray |
00:27:45 |
Yeah right, God will provide... |
00:27:47 |
A loaf of bread will fall |
00:29:17 |
Alexei Stakhanov |
00:29:45 |
Now it's burning. |
00:29:50 |
Okay, Slawa, |
00:29:54 |
and may you enjoy |
00:30:00 |
Let your things burn so you'll |
00:30:09 |
Come, drink! |
00:30:10 |
Here, Sergej, here. |
00:30:14 |
Yes, congratulations and enjoy retired life! |
00:31:09 |
GHOSTS |
00:33:04 |
Kawah Ijen, INDONESIA |
00:33:33 |
A friend of mine dreamt... |
00:33:38 |
that a goat head |
00:33:45 |
The goat head has to be taken up |
00:34:09 |
If this sacrifice, which is to be made |
00:34:16 |
an accident is sure to happen. |
00:34:20 |
Once a woman fell into the volcano. |
00:34:27 |
No one knows exactly how it happened. |
00:34:30 |
What is certain is that |
00:34:48 |
I can tell you exactly how it happened |
00:34:53 |
He was working in Sari Enam. |
00:34:56 |
While he was breaking off chunks of sulfur, |
00:34:59 |
he suddenly slipped... |
00:35:02 |
and fell into the boiling sulfur |
00:35:44 |
What do you drink |
00:35:46 |
It varies. Sometimes Johnnie Walker, |
00:35:50 |
What's important is |
00:35:54 |
and then you go into a bar |
00:36:00 |
Sometimes your own body |
00:36:05 |
Why do you have to get drunk first? |
00:36:09 |
So that you are calm |
00:36:13 |
I used to be able to take on 4 men. |
00:36:16 |
Even 6 of them |
00:36:21 |
I beat up the biggest one... |
00:36:25 |
and the other ones ran away. |
00:36:27 |
I do the same thing |
00:36:34 |
I throw the one I beat up outside in the grass |
00:36:39 |
Then I go home. |
00:36:43 |
Is he dead then? |
00:36:45 |
No, just unconscious - |
00:36:49 |
Don't they come after you |
00:36:52 |
Of course they come after you |
00:36:57 |
Is that why you came here? |
00:36:59 |
Yes, I fled straight here to |
00:37:02 |
I heard there was sulfur work |
00:37:10 |
I came here... |
00:37:11 |
because it's better than getting |
00:43:14 |
Are you one of Ijo's regular customers? |
00:43:20 |
She's fantastic! She's so slender. |
00:43:27 |
But what's the fat one's name? |
00:43:32 |
Yes, Tagiri. |
00:43:35 |
She's real fat. |
00:43:41 |
I like the way she moves, though. |
00:43:45 |
But moves aren't everything. |
00:43:47 |
What counts is the satisfaction. |
00:43:49 |
Oh yes, the satisfaction. |
00:43:51 |
Yes exactly, |
00:43:54 |
Yeah, instead of going to Tagiri, |
00:43:59 |
I go down to Banyuwangi |
00:44:06 |
There you pay 150 thousand, |
00:44:10 |
A room costs |
00:44:13 |
you have a little fun, |
00:44:17 |
climb the mountain, go back down and |
00:46:26 |
What else have they given you? |
00:46:29 |
Cookies? Is that all, never a kiss? |
00:46:32 |
What? |
00:46:33 |
Yes, sure, once. |
00:46:37 |
It happened to me once before too. |
00:46:39 |
Three months ago I saw a woman |
00:46:48 |
"You come from?" |
00:46:50 |
And I asked her: |
00:46:53 |
"What is name?" |
00:46:55 |
What language is that? |
00:46:59 |
Can you speak English? |
00:47:02 |
Enough for a short conversation. |
00:47:06 |
After we shook hands, |
00:47:10 |
"I want to kiss you." |
00:47:11 |
"Please." Then I kissed her |
00:47:15 |
My nose was still dirty |
00:47:19 |
But I was allowed to kiss her. |
00:48:57 |
Show him a ten. |
00:48:58 |
Ten? Do we want to buy it? |
00:49:00 |
Yeah, for 10 it's OK. |
00:49:03 |
Do you see the vapors |
00:49:20 |
How many kilos are you carrying? |
00:49:22 |
Really? That's a lot. |
00:49:24 |
Yes, of course. |
00:51:21 |
If we let our emotions get the better of us... |
00:51:25 |
and let the teasing |
00:51:28 |
we will quit our jobs |
00:51:36 |
How much can you carry? |
00:51:38 |
70kg, and you? |
00:51:41 |
Me too. |
00:51:44 |
But we manage those 70kg pretty well. |
00:51:48 |
One shouldn't overdo things. |
00:51:52 |
Forget what the others say about us. |
00:51:57 |
And who knows, |
00:52:06 |
We're climbing up the mountain, |
00:52:10 |
climbing up, up, up, |
00:53:00 |
Do you like to listen to |
00:53:03 |
No. |
00:53:07 |
Me either, |
00:53:13 |
What's that? |
00:53:16 |
Bon Jovi, Scorpions, |
00:53:19 |
What kind of name is Bon Jovi? |
00:53:24 |
That's the name of the band. |
00:53:33 |
He's the singer, |
00:53:42 |
And do you understand them? |
00:53:44 |
Yes, I understand them. But I can't afford |
00:53:55 |
The band is made up of four people: |
00:54:00 |
Nicolas, Brian, |
00:54:05 |
Adam, and Bon Jovi. |
00:54:08 |
That many? |
00:54:10 |
Yeah, like dangdut. |
00:54:16 |
That means the group is called Bon Jovi? |
00:54:20 |
Yes, they made the name of the |
00:55:42 |
LIONS |
00:57:09 |
Innards! Skin! Head! |
00:57:12 |
Skin! Innards! |
00:57:18 |
Innards! Skin! Head! |
00:58:04 |
Mallam! |
00:58:08 |
Hey, boy! |
00:58:11 |
Mallam! |
00:58:12 |
Be right there. |
00:58:15 |
I come. |
00:58:22 |
You got it lying down already? |
00:58:25 |
You got it lying down? |
00:58:30 |
Watch your foot! |
00:58:34 |
That will be 40 naira. |
00:58:51 |
Who does this one belong to? |
00:58:56 |
I have the money. |
00:59:01 |
You have to pay immediately. |
01:00:15 |
Don't ask me, I can pay you. |
01:00:17 |
Don't ask me, I can pay you. |
01:00:20 |
I've always paid. |
01:00:21 |
Sometimes you make problems. |
00:00:36 |
My workday begins between |
00:00:40 |
Usually I get up at 5 |
00:00:47 |
Killing goats |
00:00:54 |
Before I slaughter a goat, |
00:01:01 |
Normally we slaughter |
00:01:06 |
Sometimes it's only 300. |
00:01:12 |
Other days it's only 150. |
00:01:15 |
But there are times when |
00:01:19 |
and then we might have |
00:01:22 |
And sometimes we even have |
00:01:49 |
Now. You roast skin and I roast |
00:01:53 |
This one he roasts heads. |
00:01:55 |
He roasts skin too. |
00:01:57 |
You roast skin? |
00:01:57 |
And you? What do you roast? |
00:02:00 |
I roast everything. |
00:02:01 |
Everything? Humans too? |
00:02:06 |
Any animal, I can roast it. |
00:02:09 |
See, look. I roasted this. |
00:02:12 |
Let me see. |
00:02:13 |
Soak it and it'll turn white... |
00:02:16 |
Nobody wants that. |
00:02:20 |
Where are the customers? C'mon! |
00:02:28 |
I don't tire, I don't tire, |
00:02:32 |
We pray to God |
00:02:33 |
governors and heads |
00:02:36 |
to keep our borders open... |
00:02:39 |
so that we can continue |
00:02:42 |
This is the only way we |
00:02:45 |
We kill it and roast it. |
00:02:54 |
Roasting is very important. |
00:02:57 |
The butcher's trade would be no good |
00:03:00 |
Not everybody likes |
00:03:01 |
Roasted meat is much more delicious |
00:03:06 |
Listen up! |
00:03:07 |
What do you want to say? |
00:03:08 |
I'm roasting a goat for Mr. Chinedu. |
00:03:11 |
He don't want to pay |
00:03:14 |
And the government? |
00:03:16 |
The government? I am the government! |
00:03:19 |
Yeah. The government belongs to me! |
00:03:21 |
How do you like this job? |
00:03:23 |
This job wears me out. |
00:03:26 |
It makes me happy, |
00:03:28 |
And it's much more honorable |
00:03:32 |
Stealing is a disgrace. |
00:03:35 |
Yes, that's exactly right. |
00:03:37 |
they cut off your head. |
00:03:40 |
They slit your throat, |
00:04:04 |
Clean water for sale! |
00:04:18 |
I don't worry about tomorrow, |
00:04:25 |
A-Boy is my name... |
00:04:51 |
Where is the head butcher in this |
00:04:55 |
I, the son of a lion, come to |
00:04:59 |
May God protect you, |
00:05:03 |
Of all the famous slaughterers |
00:05:07 |
You are blessed with rich customers. |
00:05:10 |
The poor |
00:05:14 |
The government pays tribute to |
00:05:18 |
Everyone in the River State |
00:05:21 |
May almighty Allah bless you. |
00:05:24 |
Of all the famous slaughterers |
00:05:49 |
God bless all of you! |
00:05:54 |
Of all slaughterers |
00:05:56 |
You are the rich man whose abundance |
00:07:47 |
Skin! Innards! Head! |
00:07:50 |
Skin! Innards! Head! |
00:07:53 |
Skin! Innards! Head! |
00:07:57 |
Isn't 4,500 enough for you?! |
00:07:58 |
Skin is expensive at the moment. |
00:08:00 |
The neck skin is good, |
00:08:04 |
That's ridiculous. |
00:08:05 |
I'm telling you the neck is good, |
00:08:11 |
Ask Mallam, |
00:08:13 |
Okay, I'll give you another 100 naira, |
00:08:19 |
100 naira, what do you say? |
00:08:25 |
Tell him I'll pay 4,600. |
00:08:31 |
Come here, feel the skin. |
00:08:33 |
Skin! Innards! Head! |
00:08:37 |
Make way! |
00:10:34 |
Usually we work |
00:10:38 |
Depending on the workload |
00:10:48 |
I don't know if I'm the best |
00:10:51 |
but I thank God for my skills. |
00:10:54 |
Other people have other skills, |
00:11:03 |
I believe this job makes me special. |
00:11:12 |
You know why we mark the |
00:11:15 |
We do this so |
00:11:17 |
Lots of cow heads |
00:11:22 |
Here you can see clearly. |
00:11:27 |
The other head says the same thing: |
00:11:29 |
Everyone here has his own marking. |
00:11:33 |
If you use someone else's mark, |
00:11:35 |
you're stigmatized as a thief and bring all |
00:13:06 |
God will punish you! |
00:13:23 |
In the name of God, the Beneficent, |
00:13:25 |
Praise be to God, |
00:13:29 |
Praise be to God, |
00:13:33 |
Thee alone we worship; |
00:13:36 |
Show us the straight path. |
00:14:39 |
When the cow heads |
00:14:41 |
we cut the horns. |
00:14:44 |
we throw them on the fire. |
00:14:49 |
When the hair is all singed, |
00:14:51 |
we bring them down off the fire |
00:14:54 |
Then we roast them a second time. |
00:14:57 |
Now you have to check the heads, |
00:14:59 |
when this side's done, |
00:15:01 |
When the second side's done, |
00:15:06 |
When that side is all done, |
00:15:10 |
Then you wash 'em up good. |
00:15:14 |
Then after they wash 'em, |
00:15:19 |
Where they take 'em - |
00:15:29 |
Then the owners come back |
00:15:32 |
They pay us 100 naira |
00:15:37 |
Depending on the workday... |
00:15:39 |
each of us earns |
00:15:42 |
And after work I earn some money |
00:15:50 |
That's how it is. |
00:16:16 |
5, 6, 7, 8, 9, |
00:16:21 |
11, 12, 13 dollars... |
00:16:27 |
Don't have it. |
00:16:30 |
Don't tell me! Give me, give me! |
00:16:34 |
Alhaja, come! |
00:16:38 |
You know |
00:16:41 |
I'll tell you! |
00:17:25 |
Go back and get your own! |
00:17:29 |
No, these are the last two. |
00:17:32 |
Hey man, sit down |
00:17:35 |
This is mine! Let go! |
00:17:41 |
Why are you pulling? |
00:17:45 |
Go get a new piece! |
00:18:23 |
Make way! Make way! |
00:18:28 |
Make way! |
00:18:31 |
Make way! |
00:18:59 |
He who was born |
00:19:01 |
will pass through |
00:19:07 |
Especially if he began |
00:19:10 |
that has yet to learn |
00:19:16 |
We are born into suffering... |
00:19:19 |
because in this country |
00:19:25 |
So everyone here |
00:19:29 |
And if God in His infinite mercy should... |
00:19:32 |
bestow us with success, |
00:19:36 |
so be it. |
00:19:39 |
Skin! Innards! Head! |
00:19:56 |
BROTHERS |
00:20:44 |
My village is a beautiful garden |
00:20:51 |
but being separated from you |
00:20:54 |
As my wayfaring friend |
00:20:58 |
he turned his face |
00:21:03 |
so he could take leave of life |
00:21:14 |
Many travelers have come, |
00:21:18 |
but you were never |
00:21:23 |
O my beloved, |
00:21:27 |
in this place full of scrap metal |
00:21:30 |
I yearn for you so dearly. |
00:21:33 |
I beseeched the |
00:21:37 |
to stop sending ships |
00:21:43 |
I come from far away, |
00:21:49 |
A garden without flowers |
00:21:55 |
Here I am a stateless person, |
00:22:01 |
with empty hands. |
00:22:06 |
You have hurt me, |
00:22:31 |
Most of the workers here |
00:22:37 |
The Pashtuns are a poor people. |
00:22:39 |
That's why they are here. |
00:22:43 |
As for me, |
00:22:46 |
but only because |
00:22:49 |
I wouldn't be able to find |
00:22:56 |
I came here when I was 16. |
00:22:59 |
I worked for two years and |
00:23:02 |
Then I went home. |
00:23:04 |
I came back in 1991... |
00:23:06 |
and now it's already 2004. |
00:23:08 |
In all these years |
00:23:11 |
everything is exactly |
00:23:13 |
The pay has never |
00:23:15 |
Neither back then, |
00:23:17 |
Work, work, work. |
00:23:19 |
For my entire adult life |
00:23:45 |
We're like brothers to each other. |
00:23:48 |
And we have to trust each other. |
00:23:50 |
After all, we're all we've got. |
00:23:53 |
If one of our fellow workers |
00:23:56 |
we all get together |
00:24:01 |
and whether we can |
00:24:06 |
There is never |
00:24:10 |
Fighting would only sap our energy, |
00:24:13 |
which is something we can't afford. |
00:24:16 |
Of course this is a shitty job, |
00:24:19 |
but even so, |
00:27:23 |
God gave us this task, |
00:27:25 |
we're glad |
00:27:29 |
This job is death itself. |
00:27:31 |
One false step |
00:27:35 |
Or a hunk of steel falls |
00:27:37 |
Or the residual oil |
00:27:40 |
Death is always with us. |
00:27:42 |
We have to defeat our fear or we |
00:27:46 |
But what choice does one have? |
00:27:50 |
We stay here a whole year. |
00:27:52 |
Then maybe we get to go home |
00:27:55 |
Then we have to come back. |
00:27:58 |
The time spent at home |
00:28:01 |
We tell our families |
00:28:04 |
That we enjoy |
00:28:06 |
But you only get work here |
00:28:18 |
Have the workers |
00:28:25 |
Jalabe! Jalabe, you too! |
00:29:26 |
Do you want tea? |
00:29:27 |
No, thanks. |
00:29:32 |
This cap |
00:29:35 |
Let me see, |
00:29:37 |
Friend. |
00:29:39 |
It says: |
00:29:45 |
So how are we going to cut |
00:29:48 |
Straight, |
00:29:51 |
It doesn't matter. |
00:30:36 |
Why don't you cut a bigger hole? |
00:30:39 |
You barely fit through. |
00:30:46 |
Greetings, my friends. |
00:30:49 |
How much for a photo? |
00:30:52 |
Isn't that expensive? |
00:30:54 |
That's the normal price. |
00:30:59 |
We pay in advance, |
00:31:01 |
Of course. |
00:31:02 |
and 10 tomorrow |
00:31:24 |
Take off your cap. |
00:31:29 |
Excellent. |
00:32:42 |
What is good and what is bad... |
00:32:45 |
is for Allah to know. |
00:32:49 |
We do our work |
00:32:52 |
If we are injured, |
00:32:55 |
or we don't mind, |
00:32:59 |
We fear neither injuries |
00:33:05 |
We are born to die. |
00:33:19 |
Hurry up! |
00:33:22 |
You've been down there |
00:40:22 |
Here live the foreman Nani Mrachman |

FUTURE |
00:44:43 |
Hard work is like a load |
00:44:47 |
challenging us to shoulder it. |
00:44:49 |
Some loads are light, |
00:44:59 |
If a man wants to succeed |
00:45:01 |
that is, to achieve |
00:45:04 |
he must bring his ideas... |
00:45:06 |
into correspondence with the laws of... |
00:45:08 |
the objective external world. |
00:45:11 |
Otherwise he will fail |
00:45:24 |
The masses have |
00:45:28 |
They can organize themselves |
00:45:32 |
where they can give full play |
00:45:35 |
They can concentrate on production |
00:45:40 |
more and more undertakings for |
00:45:50 |
The world is yours, |
00:45:53 |
but in the last analysis, |
00:45:56 |
You young people, |
00:45:58 |
are in the bloom of life, |
00:46:01 |
at eight or nine |
00:46:04 |
Our hope is placed on you. |
00:46:07 |
The world belongs to you. |
00:46:09 |
China's future belongs to you. |
00:46:13 |
Mao Tse-tung |
00:47:30 |
You can't compare |
00:47:32 |
Technology has |
00:47:35 |
Today you don't need |
00:47:40 |
Today, strength alone |
00:47:42 |
you need know-how, too. |
00:47:44 |
I don't believe we should just |
00:47:56 |
Yes, but one still |
00:47:58 |
Of course we still have to work. |
00:48:00 |
But intelligently and |
00:48:02 |
and at the same time |
00:48:05 |
The work must be done |
00:48:09 |
Yes, no way around that. |
00:48:17 |
Today we are confronted with |
00:48:21 |
because these days technology counts more |
00:48:27 |
and we are always modernizing |
00:48:32 |
I still hope |
00:48:34 |
will be preserved as |
00:48:36 |
After all, they represent |
00:48:39 |
The first row of blast furnaces was |
00:48:46 |
Half a century |
00:48:50 |
They bear |
00:48:52 |
This makes it possible |
00:48:56 |
whether or not it |
00:49:12 |
China has shifted from a |
00:49:21 |
and the present situation |
00:49:27 |
We are the older generation of |
00:49:30 |
and of course we want |
00:49:32 |
to follow in our footsteps. |
00:49:34 |
We are willing to sacrifice ourselves |
00:49:39 |
in the name of the steel industry. |
00:49:43 |
But times have changed |
00:49:46 |
We cannot decide |
00:49:51 |
We can't force... |
00:49:54 |
our children to take up |
00:50:47 |
Furnaces no. 2 and 3 are |
00:50:50 |
Progress is continuing steadily. |
00:50:53 |
We are competitive in the |
00:50:55 |
Looking back over the past few years, |
00:51:00 |
one can say that the |
00:51:13 |
All around us, the area |
00:51:18 |
just this place here... |
00:51:20 |
still looks the same. |
00:51:23 |
Here one can still feel the past... |
00:51:26 |
and one's own childhood. |
00:51:28 |
Sometimes my classmates and I come |
00:51:31 |
We imitate the figures... |
00:51:34 |
and pose like the soldiers |
00:51:39 |
We think these poses look really |

EPILOGUE |
00:52:07 |
Duisburg-Nord Country Park, Germany |
00:52:14 |
once the Duisburg-Meiderich Steelworks |
00:54:21 |
Here molten iron flowed, |
00:54:23 |
here thousands of fires burned |
00:54:26 |
At the Duisburg-Meiderich smelting works the |
00:54:31 |
365 days a year. |
00:54:34 |
Here iron ore surrendered |

without which modern life |

37 million tons in more than 80 years. |
00:54:45 |
From 1903 till 1985. |
00:54:48 |
Then came the last shift. |
00:54:51 |
But not the end; |
00:54:53 |
The smelting plant was transformed |
