These miners work for $8/day
These miners work for $8/day in sulphuric and volcanic conditions sacrificing their lungs and bodies as they carry immensely heavy loads of sulphur balanced on small wooden baskets on their shoulders for 12+ hours per day! Considering the conditions, the lack of gear, and how low the wage is, this has to be the hardest job in the world. But these brave miners learn to work with the incredibly challenging obstacles in their way to provide food for their families.
They work inside the Mt. Ijen volcanic crater in East Java, Indonesia. Once they complete the difficult task of climbing the volcanic crater to the top, they have to break the sulphur into small pieces, bag it, and put it in a trolly. At that point they decide if they are done for the day, or if they go back into the volcano to do it again. These miners are truly an inspiration, and I really hope to get back there soon to share more of their story.
A social thank you to my friend Iain (@Iainwith2eyes_) who faced two days of hard conditions and sulphur gas with me to capture this story and share it with you.
And a very special thank you to Yudi (@wahyudicuy_) for sharing this incredible story with us and taking us around the volcano. I plan to head back to Ijen Volcano to share more of the story and with your help try to bring more awareness to the situation, and hopefully get the miners masks and better care. If you would like to follow more of my adventures or ask questions about these miners please feel free to follow my instagram @michaelmakesfilms and dm me any questions.Thank you for watching, and please share this video to help me bring more awareness for these miners.
