VICE - 2012-05-18
Aside from literally sleeping in feces, these people are dodging rats, flash floods and drug addicts. What's worse, the sewer dwellers are constantly under attack by local "death squads," who fire open rounds and pour gasoline into their underground homes, then set them ablaze.

I feel like a lot of these vice reporters didn't know what they were getting into.
They should take the one from the libraria cannibal docu every time he is the greatest
they kinda know but not all the details. not until it's too late to back out. 😂

@Balls Deep Thats the way the shit winds 💩 blow Randy!😁
Maybe try praying instead of actually commenting on a video
Living in the woods suddenly doesn't sound so bad
@Liquor Snurf True but the witches and crazy cultists won't kill you because they are in a higher class than you, they'll kill you because they want sacrifices. Same with wild animals. At least they'll probably eat you. Here ya just get shot, burnt, or yer balls blasted off by fire-hoses.
@Liquor Snurf check out David Paulides missing 411 if you don't already know about the creepy Abductions in our National Parks and Forrest

It's good place to live It's just the paranoia that sets in because your alone
The government of that country is seriously due for a cleansing.
Jacobo Londoño Omg same, The United States also has a horrible president!
uribism is responsible... but this is something that is unlikely to change soon...
arianasfungus shut the fuck up moron they are not even comparable and to do so is disrespectful you clown
The US is heading in this direction especially if the democrats get back in total power, its coming.
Lucci Thank you for sharing this. Never knew
God dammit the guy who lost his wife....
That's miserably sad.
Poor guy.
She probably made it out and decided to make smarter life decisions. Jaja
Yea like fucking hell the couple must have gone through serious deep shit and stayed together and now he is the only one left
bruh what you mean that shit was funny lol they could make a movie about that called "The Shitty Life of The Shitters"
@Fabian Trejo it could be written by a piece of shit named Fabian Trejo
All he could was her little head getting dragged away . man i felt that
Just imagine...Just being born in a different place in the world where this could have been our lives! It costs us absolutely nothing to be grateful folks!
Lol this happens in the us too. Look it up fool
I am so incredibly lucky. It is very unfair.
I am very grateful but I won't be satisfied until we get rid of capitalism and the state
That’s not the point of the video... you can’t just feel grateful for your life and think everything’s gonna be okay... this shit I’m Colombia is still happening...
@🌹Paifu™🌹 OH NO...ANOTHER SOCIALIST PARASITE WO DON'T LIKE CAPITALIISM =$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$...THERE IS VENEZUELA FOR YOU
Jesus, imagine being hunted everyday by your own society
@Juan Castaño castaño
Lol, wannabe gangsters are ultimate contras, ultimate capitalists, ultimate tool of USA to stomp us thirdworlders down.
Because they are being ultimate level miserable.
Just like these firstworld spoiled gay eunuchs in comment section, rofl.
Trifectors The G O D im in Colombia just come here
yes crazy people eh
@Kamo actually those are typically over crowded and or full
eliminate the threat an you'll have nothing to worry about
Setting a little girl on fire as part of social cleansing? I can’t even believe the world I live in
But its not really the world you live in is it? Not even close these people mine as well be on mars
Lol imagine taking the word of a crackhead who lives in the sewers.
When I was a kid I wanted to live in a sewer, just to be like the ninja turtles.
But I see now, that plan had some flaws.
lmao, right!..
465marko funny joke marko funny joke
Wow Rafael
well you might actually mutate O.o
Me too
back when vice still made good videos.
When I found this channel 4 years ago I would literally spend all my free time binge watching. Now I only watch their videos once in awhile.. only the old videos like this one.
They recently did the wrestling documentaries. They were good
Thank God for people like Jaime Jaramillo who is the ONLY person helping them and providing them with food, medical attention and NON JUDGEMENTAL SUPPORT. If it wasn't for his pioneering work, nothing would have been done, he has saved many lives, especially when these poor kids were soaked in gasoline and set fire to. He was the one who risked his life to get them to the hospital in their agony and the one who continues to risk his life in order to provide them with food and basic amenities.
He isn't the only person, we actually have large groups of people that help this homeless people in Medellín. It is very common to see people helping this guys with food or blankets. This documentary shows him but it doesn't mean he is the only one. Myself and some friends do this kind of things somewhat often. Greetings!
@David Torres That is inspirational. I hope Colombia becomes a very successful country. You and other brave Colombians deserve it.
Dr. Jaime Jaramillo is a goddamn saint.
@David Torres Are there any charities that people in other countries could donate to?
I watched these in my bed with a comfy pillow and blanket, a hot chocolate and pizza on my side, it's cold and raining outside. Grateful man....grateful
@Stewart Saldana A grateful grateful man 🤣
Should've gotten a soda bruh.
Pizza and hot chocolate? 😷😷 don’t you get thirsty?
The qweerest mix iv ever heard
@Stewart Saldana future diabetes patients.
I live in Medellín, Colombia's second largest city, and I had to learn through foreign journalism that there are people living in sewers in Bogota
Así es el "periodismo" de este país, nunca escucharás nada de esto en RCN y caracol
Yo también, yo nunca sabia hasta ahora.
@carlos andres conrado Lo que pasa es que Colombia aún no tiene libertad de expresión completa, si Los medios de comunicación quieten seguir funcionando tienen que adherirse a Las reglas :(
l live in Bogota, and i had to learn through foreign journalism that there are people living in the sewers and that there are death squads.
So amazing how those people still have a sense of humor. I hope things work out for them one day.
Mirth over Misery
The purge is real
@-COLOMBIANCHANNEL-TM in 1st world countries it doesn't happen and when it does once every about 6 months they r arrested for murder
@-COLOMBIANCHANNEL-TM in 1st world countries it doesn't happen and when it does once every about 6 months they r arrested for murder
At least the Columbians know how to deal with that problem... but when you have a stroll in Paris o Calais you will think French are stupid beyond reasonable doubt.
Right now yes
-COLOMBIANCHANNEL-TM my country’s shit hole but that deffo doesn’t happen here
Why TF they would kill HOMELESS and helpless children at night? T_T
some people are fucking evil, some places of colombia arent a good place to live.... paramilitares all the way arround ready to killl you with the help of the government
@Candy Texture they're godless people... Father help us!! 😭
Because you're not gonna do it during the day right?
@Skinny Buddha Buddha would be disappointed with you
Money and greed
I bet anyone who watches this won't complain about their life in a few hours but when the days goes by we will go back to normal 😄
Austin, you still don't know the feminists...
Living in the sewer is hard but when the sewer is inside Ur mind it's even harder
1.6 thousand likes? This comment is barely literate.
How about you overthrow rightwingays in your cushy firstworld cuntry to finally join proletariat and help those poor people with machinery, construction materials, canned food, etc?
Nah, you westerners prefer to "oh, I so glad I can live off my welfare/parents/wife" self-brainwashing. Eunuchs.
Austin Cu shut the fuck up
7:42 eleven stabs, lives in the sewer, drug addict, but perfect teeth.
when the woman in the "sewer apartement" said she was cold, i really hoped the camera team would give her an extra sweater. i hope with all my heart her circumstances has changed for the better, and for all of the other people living like that too.
Why would you give her a sweater ? She's the one living in a sewer she should probably get use to if
Unfortunately a sweater won't fix her addiction. Very few clean and sober people would stay in this environment. But also, this environment creates addicted people. Very sad all around
DAMN.. To think I was born there.. adoption saved me I recon
Christiaan Haesen could u explain in detail bro
I adopted him
na bro Colombia is a beautiful place to live
Tell us about how you escaped the sewer
And I felt upset because I cannot afford a car, and have to take the bus, I should never complain about that again, these people have it so bad, there should be more done to help these people. This is even worse than living on the streets, at least they have fresh air and sunlight.
Bravo
Well I can't drive so I'm happy to walk but long distance il catch the bus
thetraveller0415 people like u make me laugh y are u so concerned what other countries are doing if their country is shit that’s on them it’s fine to contain the worst thing u can be in America is homeless which isn’t even that bad if your smart
says the biggest dictator of all time
Are you the real Kim jong un
As someone with hygienic problems, seeing you touching everything in the sewer made it even harder to watch..
Felt terrible when the guy described how he lost his wife 😭😭
The government and the elite should be tried for human right atrocities.
Hahah and so should the states and every other fucking country if anyone thinks human rights truly exist your fucking stupid we don’t have rights were goddam enslaved by our own governments wake up
Tyler Turgeon your absolutely right people keep saying they are grateful because of our rights yea we aren’t living in sewers were on phones but technology and a bit of other consumerism is one of many forms of slavery we face.
For what killing a bunch of crackheads living in the sewers?
No they should get a payraise
doesn't matter, corrupt government
@MobileAlabama ......... Attention seeker, ok we see your ignorant ass. You happy now
Back when vice did actual journalism.
Is this real? No matter how many times I remind my self this is real, I just can't imagine people so heartless so as to even burn children alive.
@Tim Slee becaus people love to bang when they high
@bestgreensguaranteed Good point.
Ionlymadethistoleavecoments you’re still in childhood phase then, even if you’re a “adult” you don’t know what 3rd world country is like, it’s hell
you have been living on some other planet? because mankind been doing this kind of shit since the dawn of time
You are very naive if you think that human beings aren't capable of such things like burning children alive. Do yourself a favor and never research about the occult and what people in power did to gain power and what they do to maintain their power.
Oh my heart 😢. How anyone could be so cruel is beyond me. I can’t understand murdering anyone, let alone children. That’s so vile.
Probably because you are a woman. Men feel less guilt. Violence is built in their psyche.
I do agree that us men are violent by nature when it comes to survival or certain beliefs.
Liudas Steponavičius Yeah, except when a woman divorces a man for pettiness...taking with her his possessions, kids, and forcing him into a situation where he has to pay child support, and in some cases alimony, effectively rendering him unable to live, while she’s off already sucking another cock getting ready to ruin another man. Women are just as heartless.
Rumpel Stiltskin holy shit that’s incel as hell
@Rumpel Stiltskin hey man, are you okay? do you want to talk about something?
I can’t but help but to wonder how she’s gonna get out of that small entry with a full pregnant belly :(
Even through all that struggle, they are still people with amazing hearts.
Gotta admire a person who can make jokes even when living in a situation like that.
That doctor is the closest thing we get to a real life super hero
@John Doe haha the guy who kills thies people? no doubt you and your president are the scum of the earth
And he looks a bit like Burt Reynolds.
Cyber Demon typical liberal
String Up The Maoist typical retard liberal putting other people above themselves we shouldn’t do shit for Mexico their country went to shit helping them will cause us to do the same learn ur shit before u type anything
martin nielsen lol I can just tell ur a pussy liberal who’s never fucked a girl trump is doing things that are great including extra jobs for all the fucking bums that don’t wanna work and keeping al illegals out Trump is gonna win 2020 and I can’t wait to see u liberals cry
I will never complain about the things I don’t have.
Beautiful Diva ikr I’m with
My god, I’m a high schooler and I thought I knew what hell was, hell was getting my ass beat if I got in really big trouble, hell was midterms hell was finals but my god, I couldn’t have been farther from the truth. I am not an emotional person but when he talked about the little girl being set on fire, I cried a bit. I cried again when I saw the puppy.😢 WTF is wrong with people? Why are these innocent people and animals threats?
Hey, do you notice the puppey.
Damn i can imagine they live in totally darkness.
actually cried when i saw them.
When he pointed out the "shitsickle" hanging off of the sewer ceiling it instantly reminded me of the Barnacle from the Half Life games
I am truly blessed. God help those poor souls 🙏
6:48 that was kinda scary
H o m i e O z b e e like a scary movie type shit
Sewer people with heart of gold ♥. They 😍 those puppies and taking care of them too. The wife is third time pregnant but where are her two older kids?
" don't worry" " yeah but we should go though" 😂
Every Vice report always shows a random shoe sitting somewhere. Now that I've told you you will see it in every single report.
Woah, where'd the n word come from
I noticed that too It's was incorrectly translated. The exact translation was "where's the big black Mother effer"
I’d rather ask a stranger to live with me
6:18 when u fart out loud but u act like it wasn't u
Thomas deserved a huge bonus for reporting this story!
ALERTTTT, comie in the comments
AnimalHouseforReal but he still very pu55y, you need to get deep in the story risking your own integrity, and he just didnt do it
TOMAS CARRILLO what else could he have done
He actually didn't bitch out
I'm really tired of woman being synonymous with cowardice.
Ah yes, ending poverty by killing the poor. Totally works!!
2019... Many people still living in sewers. There was a place in downtown called "The Bronx" that was dismateled thanks to the efforts of the Mayor of Bogota, Mr. Enrique Peñalosa and his Staff. Many outsiders got a better life, others went to look for other sewers; now, with the exodus of Venezuelans to many big and medium size cities in Colombia, the situation has gotten worse. Many foreigners are taking the place of the "Disposables" (which should not be the word for them) and somehow the ones in the sewers are moving a notch up in the social system. (You may see many undocumented Venezuelans in the Public bus system called "Transmilenio". At the bus stops, you may see two guys exiting the doors of a bus an then four get inside the bus to sing or sale candies to get their living. Since I came back to Bogota 6 years ago I haven't heard about any social cleanups or whatsoever but yet safety outside the streets is at high risk any time of the day.
Thanks for the update on the situation!
"Social cleansing" in other words the purge!!
Purging crackheads... Nothing wrong with that
@MobileAlabama You heartless piece of shit. Do you have a conscience? Or are you just too stupid to understand thing's more than at face value? You think if you'd have been born into their situation, you'd be any different?
Why get pregnant though?
@aleco678 if you dont have birth control dont have sex?
@K Core these are sewer people who constantly shoot up drugs they are born in it. They don't know better. Bogota used to have free birth control for them but they stopped funding it. You can't stop them from having sex people always will no matter how miserable they are. I've seen it first hand
Ikr you can choose to be pregnant
Well you know, the timing was right and they weren't getting any younger. They had that spacious crevice with wall to wall recyclable floors. Plus their financial planner said it would put them into a more advantageous tax bracket.
@aleco678 just cum against the wall
lets get acupuncture before we hit up the sewers, nothing protects from infection like open cuts
acupuncture needles are very fine so the wound isn't even that big its like the head of the smallest needle in the kit at most, also, its only needs to touch the nerve in the skin so its doesn't pierce all the way.
dont r/wooosh me
@TonyMon16 nice pseudo science
@Mellissa Harvel >neo-nazi flat earthers
because those are related in any way
Cause the doctor is an idiot too.
Acupunture magice doesnt even work
Also, potentially dirty needles... so ridiculous.

And meanwhile little kids are complaining about the color of their iphones, man... this world is fucked up
Kgan - 2017-10-17
yea because that is their world, you cannot judge human nature because they do not know the world outside theirs.

Nutpoo Well they should be informed about stuff like this. I’ve seen kids cry about not getting what they wanted for Christmas and they’re the age of 12-14. They SHOULD know about stuff like this. There’s a world outside of their house.
