Deadliest Roads Myanmar

In North-West Myanmar, in the most mountainous region of the country, moving around is an adventure. Travelling in his truck, Khampi faces the dangerous roads – or rather the tracks – with courage and calm. The state of the roads is a serious handicap for the people, but it has allowed the country to preserve its beauty, its authenticity and its traditions. Young Sokna is carrying on an ancient ritual: the kiss of death. Legend has it that by kissing the head of a Royal Cobra three times, the village women will quickly fall pregnant. A journey into the heart of Myanmar, far from the tourist tracks.
