00:00:06,619 --> 00:00:08,019
This week on "Vice"...
2
00:00:08,553 --> 00:00:11,022
Ryan meets polygamy's
teenage outcasts.
3
00:00:11,057 --> 00:00:12,991
I don't know where to go,
how to start.
4
00:00:13,425 --> 00:00:14,492
What do I do?
5
00:00:14,527 --> 00:00:17,563
And then we send Thomas
to Mauritania where thin is ugly...
6
00:00:17,597 --> 00:00:21,014
_
7
00:00:21,134 --> 00:00:22,701
and fat is beautiful.
8
00:00:22,735 --> 00:00:24,369
And then I travel to India...
9
00:00:24,403 --> 00:00:28,039
So clear-cut, because it's
poverty and then super rich.
10
00:00:28,074 --> 00:00:32,174
to see how their 99% have been affected
by the global economic crisis.
11
00:00:32,294 --> 00:00:34,478
_
12
00:00:37,717 --> 00:00:40,285
The world is changing.
13
00:00:40,319 --> 00:00:42,620
Now, no one knows
where it's going.
14
00:00:42,655 --> 00:00:45,123
But we'll be there
uncovering the news...
15
00:00:45,157 --> 00:00:46,624
It's World War III.
16
00:00:46,658 --> 00:00:48,092
culture...
17
00:00:48,126 --> 00:00:50,595
and politics that
expose the absurdity
18
00:00:50,629 --> 00:00:53,598
of the modern condition.
19
00:00:53,632 --> 00:00:55,600
That little child
has a huge gun.
20
00:00:55,634 --> 00:00:59,104
This scene isn't really
kosher by American standards.
21
00:00:59,138 --> 00:01:02,207
I was interviewing suicide
bombers and they were kids.
22
00:01:02,241 --> 00:01:04,609
This is the world
through our eyes.
23
00:01:04,643 --> 00:01:06,277
We win or we die!
24
00:01:06,312 --> 00:01:08,998
This is the world of "Vice".
25

26
00:01:15,454 --> 00:01:17,088
Hi. I'm Shane Smith, and we're
here in the "Vice" Offices
27
00:01:17,122 --> 00:01:18,556
in Brooklyn, New York.
28
00:01:18,590 --> 00:01:22,126
For our first story this week,
we go to Arizona and Utah.
29
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,096
When Warren Jeffs was arrested
and sent away for life,
30
00:01:25,130 --> 00:01:27,899
most of us assumed that
the story would end there.
31
00:01:27,933 --> 00:01:30,134
Now, 5 years
after his conviction
32
00:01:30,168 --> 00:01:32,637
for having sex with
12- and 15-year-old brides,
33
00:01:32,671 --> 00:01:34,205
reports have surfaced
34
00:01:34,239 --> 00:01:37,107
that Jeffs is still ruling
his polygamist community.
35
00:01:37,142 --> 00:01:39,243
He's just doing it from prison.
36
00:01:39,277 --> 00:01:41,845
So we sent Ryan to the heart
of polygamy country to see
37
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:46,083
what happens when a lunatic runs
an entire town from his jail cell.
38
00:01:48,294 --> 00:01:51,078
_
39
00:01:52,123 --> 00:01:56,093
And in your teenage
years, you will be tested.
40
00:01:56,128 --> 00:01:59,096
Are you listening to
the Gentile music?
41
00:01:59,130 --> 00:02:02,032
Then you don't have
the spirit of God.
42
00:02:02,067 --> 00:02:04,635
Are you watching
the Gentile movies?
43
00:02:04,670 --> 00:02:07,005
How can you be
trusted with a family?
44
00:02:07,039 --> 00:02:10,941
Warren Jeffs is the pedophile
polygamist leader of the FLDS,
45
00:02:10,975 --> 00:02:13,042
the Fundamentalist
Latter-Day Saints,
46
00:02:13,077 --> 00:02:15,077
a radical offshoot
of Mormonism.
47
00:02:15,112 --> 00:02:18,147
Jeffs is currently serving
a 130-year jail sentence
48
00:02:18,182 --> 00:02:21,484
for his 2011 conviction
of child sex and bigamy charges,
49
00:02:21,518 --> 00:02:26,054
including the sexual assault of
his 12- and 15-year-old brides.
50
00:02:26,089 --> 00:02:28,557
You know, whether it's
directly or indirectly,
51
00:02:28,591 --> 00:02:30,058
they're still getting
all their marching orders
52
00:02:30,093 --> 00:02:31,994
from Warren Jeffs
in Texas Prison.
53
00:02:32,028 --> 00:02:33,729
Jeffs has
banned bicycles,
54
00:02:33,763 --> 00:02:36,531
ordered all children's
toys to be destroyed,
55
00:02:36,565 --> 00:02:39,568
and recently made yet
another strange declaration.
56
00:02:39,602 --> 00:02:41,970
It is polygamy gone berserk.
57
00:02:42,004 --> 00:02:44,673
Only 15 men will be
allowed to father children
58
00:02:44,707 --> 00:02:47,609
with the thousands of
eligible FLDS women.
59
00:02:47,644 --> 00:02:50,879
As the prophet,
he controls everything--
60
00:02:50,913 --> 00:02:54,550
jobs, money, property,
and most importantly,
61
00:02:54,584 --> 00:02:58,087
who his followers can marry, because
the number of wives a man has
62
00:02:58,121 --> 00:03:01,024
is the most crucial element of
the Fundamentalist Mormon.
63
00:03:01,058 --> 00:03:06,496
In fact, Jeffs himself is
thought to have up to 78 wives.
64
00:03:06,530 --> 00:03:08,999
Having multiple wives
is so important
65
00:03:09,033 --> 00:03:12,536
that only higher-ranking elders
are allowed to start families,
66
00:03:12,570 --> 00:03:15,105
And that leaves the younger men
in the community with a problem:
67
00:03:15,140 --> 00:03:16,506
grade school math.
68
00:03:16,541 --> 00:03:19,543
In order to practice polygamy,
you have a guy with 50 wives,
69
00:03:19,577 --> 00:03:21,545
49 guys have
gotta go somewhere.
70
00:03:21,579 --> 00:03:24,515
Roman was only 18 when he
was exiled from the church.
71
00:03:24,549 --> 00:03:27,084
They wanna get him out, so they kick
him out for absolutely any reason.
72
00:03:27,119 --> 00:03:29,053
You know, you watch a movie,
you talk to a girl,
73
00:03:29,088 --> 00:03:30,922
you listen to music,
they kick you out.
74
00:03:30,956 --> 00:03:33,091
The nearest cities,
is where they go to.
75
00:03:33,125 --> 00:03:34,726
St. George, Salt Lake.
76
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,897
Lately they've been going up to the
oil refineries in North Dakota
77
00:03:38,931 --> 00:03:42,167
because the money's good up there and
they don't have to have an education,
78
00:03:42,201 --> 00:03:46,237
because most of them don't have
even an 8th grade education.
79
00:03:48,607 --> 00:03:51,075
So there's a whole
community of ex-FLDS kids
80
00:03:51,109 --> 00:03:53,077
that live here
in Salt Lake now.
81
00:03:53,111 --> 00:03:55,012
They hang out
together all the time.
82
00:03:55,047 --> 00:03:57,081
Some of them are getting
together for some pizza and beer
83
00:03:57,116 --> 00:03:59,050
and they invited us to join.
84
00:03:59,084 --> 00:04:02,487
I seriously didn't masturbate
till 6 months after I left.
85
00:04:02,521 --> 00:04:03,956
Want to know what's funny, dude?
How old were you?
86
00:04:03,990 --> 00:04:05,123
17.
87
00:04:05,158 --> 00:04:06,558
How did you stay
away from your dick?
88
00:04:06,593 --> 00:04:08,561
I peed out of it.
That's all I knew.
89
00:04:08,595 --> 00:04:10,529
I started when I was 11.
90
00:04:10,563 --> 00:04:13,766
I felt so guilty.
That's the worst part.
91
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,969
When you grow up
in the vacuum of the FLDS,
92
00:04:17,003 --> 00:04:20,539
things that most of us think of as
common knowledge, like paying bills,
93
00:04:20,573 --> 00:04:23,075
using the internet, or even
wearing bathing suits
94
00:04:23,109 --> 00:04:25,110
are completely alien to them.
95
00:04:25,144 --> 00:04:27,064
These kids are shockingly
unprepared for the most
96
00:04:27,079 --> 00:04:30,048
mundane of tasks
in everyday life.
97
00:04:30,082 --> 00:04:32,050
My dad,
he kept on telling me,
98
00:04:32,084 --> 00:04:35,119
"If you don't stop
texting, or don't stop--
99
00:04:35,154 --> 00:04:37,722
"you keep buying
Internet for your phone,
100
00:04:37,756 --> 00:04:39,057
you're going to have to be
kicked out of the house."
101
00:04:39,091 --> 00:04:42,093
I called up Sam, my older
brother, and he came
102
00:04:42,128 --> 00:04:44,196
and picked me up that night.
103
00:04:44,230 --> 00:04:47,666
What was that first night like, when
you decided to call your brother?
104
00:04:47,701 --> 00:04:49,101
I don't know where
to go, how to start.
105
00:04:49,135 --> 00:04:51,170
What do I do?
106
00:04:51,204 --> 00:04:52,504
How long does that last?
107
00:04:52,539 --> 00:04:54,106
How long does it take
to feel like--
108
00:04:54,140 --> 00:04:57,576
It took me, I'm
going to say, 2 1/2, 3 years.
109
00:04:57,610 --> 00:05:00,846
To feel just comfortable here.
110
00:05:06,052 --> 00:05:08,053
Wayne and Joe offered to
show us around their hometown
111
00:05:08,087 --> 00:05:10,022
of Colorado City.
112
00:05:10,056 --> 00:05:14,426
You really can't explain the way that
you feel the first day you leave.
113
00:05:14,461 --> 00:05:17,029
There's no words to
describe the feeling.
114
00:05:17,063 --> 00:05:19,131
You're scared, you're
terrified, but you're excited
115
00:05:19,165 --> 00:05:20,833
all at the same time.
116
00:05:21,367 --> 00:05:24,970
To them, they think
we're the worst people.
117
00:05:25,405 --> 00:05:28,207
Like fuck you, you're
brainwashed, I'm better than you.
118
00:05:30,043 --> 00:05:32,411
Wayne and Joe told us about
some kids who'd been thrown out,
119
00:05:32,446 --> 00:05:33,946
just like them.
120
00:05:33,980 --> 00:05:36,148
But instead of running away as
far as they could,
121
00:05:36,183 --> 00:05:38,017
they stayed in Colorado City,
122
00:05:38,051 --> 00:05:43,022
a few blocks from the families that
now refuse to acknowledge them.
123
00:05:43,057 --> 00:05:45,558
You know what happens when
you grow up with like 30 brothers?
124
00:05:46,093 --> 00:05:48,094
You play really
aggressive sports.
125
00:05:49,129 --> 00:05:50,063
I'm up.
126
00:05:50,397 --> 00:05:51,564
- Oh!
- Nice.
127
00:05:51,599 --> 00:05:54,067
So these kids live
in what they call butthuts:
128
00:05:54,101 --> 00:05:57,070
small trailers that house a
bunch of kids who are totally
129
00:05:57,104 --> 00:05:59,573
unequipped to deal
with everyday life.
130
00:05:59,607 --> 00:06:01,508
Leroy lives just down the
street from the family
131
00:06:01,542 --> 00:06:03,510
that now won't even
speak to him.
132
00:06:03,544 --> 00:06:06,980
It hurts a lot,
seeing families torn,
133
00:06:07,014 --> 00:06:10,518
and there's nothing I can do about
it but carry on with my life.
134
00:06:13,555 --> 00:06:16,858
Leroy was just 15 when he
was thrown out of the church
135
00:06:16,892 --> 00:06:18,293
and his family.
136
00:06:18,327 --> 00:06:20,528
This is the house that
I was raised in.
137
00:06:20,563 --> 00:06:22,030
That's a 3-story house.
138
00:06:22,064 --> 00:06:25,033
We had a mother on each floor.
139
00:06:25,067 --> 00:06:28,204
So we had a family of
about 30 people.
140
00:06:28,238 --> 00:06:32,040
I had been talking to girls and
wearing what I wanted and stuff,
141
00:06:32,075 --> 00:06:34,543
and that's against
the religion, you know?
142
00:06:34,578 --> 00:06:39,014
So I came home from work and
father came up to me and said,
143
00:06:39,049 --> 00:06:44,387
"The bishop called and he wants you
to get your things and leave."
144
00:06:44,421 --> 00:06:46,055
I said, "OK, tonight?
145
00:06:46,089 --> 00:06:48,925
Like, it's already 6:00,
7:00 in the afternoon."
146
00:06:48,959 --> 00:06:51,660
He was like, "Yeah."
So that's what I did.
147
00:06:51,695 --> 00:06:53,562
I kind of felt like I died.
148
00:06:53,597 --> 00:06:58,067
I wondered how could my
parents just let me go
149
00:06:58,101 --> 00:07:01,103
into a world that they
don't even know.
150
00:07:01,138 --> 00:07:04,006
So this kid, who's
barely been to school,
151
00:07:04,041 --> 00:07:06,509
has never traveled more than
a few miles from his home,
152
00:07:06,543 --> 00:07:09,979
and has been taught since birth
that outsiders are pure evil,
153
00:07:10,013 --> 00:07:13,950
is basically given 20 minutes to
pack and told to get out forever.
154
00:07:13,984 --> 00:07:16,352
On their birthdays,
I do my best to call
155
00:07:16,386 --> 00:07:19,121
and sometimes I get rejected and
told to never call again,
156
00:07:19,156 --> 00:07:21,691
but I'm gonna keep it up.
157
00:07:21,725 --> 00:07:23,025
Even if they've done
their best to forget me,
158
00:07:23,060 --> 00:07:25,961
I'm not forgetting them.
159
00:07:25,995 --> 00:07:28,897
During our conversation
with Leroy, we couldn't help
160
00:07:28,932 --> 00:07:30,900
but notice we were
being followed.
161
00:07:30,934 --> 00:07:33,435
You guys know the story
on God's squad, don't you?
162
00:07:33,470 --> 00:07:38,474
Once Gentiles are in town, people
start following them around for hours
163
00:07:38,509 --> 00:07:41,510
and make sure that you're not
gonna do anything
164
00:07:41,545 --> 00:07:44,212
that's gonna
hurt the community.
165
00:07:44,945 --> 00:07:46,912
_
166
00:07:47,045 --> 00:07:49,084
_
167
00:07:49,085 --> 00:07:51,053
Even after being out
of the church for years,
168
00:07:51,087 --> 00:07:55,057
these kids are still
afraid of church security.
169
00:07:55,591 --> 00:07:58,393
The longer we stayed there,
a bunch of things that seemed
170
00:07:58,427 --> 00:08:00,529
kind of quiet and quaint
when we first arrived,
171
00:08:00,563 --> 00:08:03,565
started feeling really creepy.
172
00:08:03,599 --> 00:08:05,700
A whole bunch of people
turning their backs,
173
00:08:05,735 --> 00:08:08,969
running inside, and circling
around in pickup trucks.
174
00:08:09,004 --> 00:08:12,105
It's Little House on the Prairie
mixed with Children of the Corn
175
00:08:12,140 --> 00:08:14,007
all being run by
a convicted pedophile
176
00:08:14,041 --> 00:08:16,543
from a jail cell states away.
177
00:08:16,577 --> 00:08:17,977
What the fuck?
178
00:08:18,012 --> 00:08:20,013
My honest opinion is
179
00:08:20,047 --> 00:08:22,882
I don't think Warren's
as bad as he's put out to be.
180
00:08:22,917 --> 00:08:24,518
Honestly.
181
00:08:24,552 --> 00:08:27,020
I'm grateful that I was
raised the way I am,
182
00:08:27,054 --> 00:08:31,491
and he hasn't done anything to
my family or me to hurt me.
183
00:08:31,526 --> 00:08:33,527
But he took your
family from you.
184
00:08:33,561 --> 00:08:39,033
Yeah, but it was because
that's part of the religion.
185
00:08:39,067 --> 00:08:41,969
I mean what's religion if
it doesn't have standards?
186
00:08:42,004 --> 00:08:45,039
Everybody that's been raised
in this religion knows that
187
00:08:45,073 --> 00:08:50,043
the outside world is a huge,
bad, mixed-up place.
188
00:08:55,383 --> 00:08:59,086
We kept asking ourselves, how
could this possibly happen in America?
189
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:00,988
Is the FLDS a cult?
190
00:09:01,022 --> 00:09:02,957
Yes. In my mind,
it's a cult.
191
00:09:02,991 --> 00:09:05,993
He could seriously tell one
one of his loyal followers
192
00:09:06,028 --> 00:09:07,996
to go kill somebody,
and they'd go do it
193
00:09:08,030 --> 00:09:09,698
thinking it was the
right thing to do.
194
00:09:09,732 --> 00:09:13,000
The problem is we're not
just talking about one person here.
195
00:09:13,035 --> 00:09:16,638
We're talking about a town
full of brainwashed followers.
196
00:09:16,672 --> 00:09:19,507
You know, someone such
as Warren Jeffs that has control
197
00:09:19,542 --> 00:09:22,010
over the community, you have
to take very seriously,
198
00:09:22,044 --> 00:09:25,013
and I find he's very dangerous
because you never know what
199
00:09:25,047 --> 00:09:28,483
kind of edict he could come
up with out of prison.
200
00:09:28,517 --> 00:09:32,454
And with Warren's jail cell
orders getting stranger and stranger,
201
00:09:32,488 --> 00:09:34,522
it may just turn out
that these young men
202
00:09:34,557 --> 00:09:37,058
with no families
and grim prospects,
203
00:09:37,093 --> 00:09:39,027
are far better off in exile.
204
00:09:43,566 --> 00:09:46,067
West Africa's Mauritania is
one of the poorest countries
205
00:09:46,102 --> 00:09:47,536
in the world.
206
00:09:47,570 --> 00:09:51,673
On top of that, only .5% of its
land can be used for farming.
207
00:09:51,707 --> 00:09:53,775
And on top of that,
the country's been suffering
208
00:09:53,810 --> 00:09:56,911
from a worsening food crisis
for the past few years.
209
00:09:56,946 --> 00:09:58,713
So when we heard they're
currently experiencing
210
00:09:58,747 --> 00:10:03,118
an obesity epidemic and that this
epidemic was actually self-inflicted,
211
00:10:03,152 --> 00:10:06,054
we sent Thomas there
to see what is going on.
212
00:10:08,889 --> 00:10:11,589
_
213
00:10:12,889 --> 00:10:15,589
_
214
00:10:23,172 --> 00:10:24,605
Hi. It's Thomas.
215
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,107
It's midnight in the Sahara.
216
00:10:26,141 --> 00:10:30,578
We're eating, um, camel milk and
millet to get fat and beautiful.
217
00:10:34,082 --> 00:10:36,617
West Africa has never made
any bones about its preference
218
00:10:36,651 --> 00:10:38,185
for thick chicks.
219
00:10:40,022 --> 00:10:42,756
_
220
00:10:44,159 --> 00:10:47,628
Unfortunately, Mauritania's recurrent
famine and general lack of resources
221
00:10:47,662 --> 00:10:49,563
make it nearly impossible
to pack on the pounds.
222
00:10:49,597 --> 00:10:52,098
Never mind the fact that it's smack
in the middle of the Sahara,
223
00:10:52,133 --> 00:10:54,601
an environment so harsh you
basically shed weight
224
00:10:54,635 --> 00:10:57,070
any time you're
not indoors lying down.
225
00:10:57,104 --> 00:11:00,239
The only way for girls out here to
meet Mauritanian beauty standards
226
00:11:00,274 --> 00:11:03,610
is for their moms to literally force
feed them full of milk and food.
227
00:11:03,644 --> 00:11:05,378
It's similar to how
you make fois gras.
228
00:11:05,413 --> 00:11:08,581
In fact, they use the same
term for both: gavage.
229
00:11:08,616 --> 00:11:11,717
_
230
00:11:12,718 --> 00:11:16,917
_
231
00:11:16,918 --> 00:11:21,317
_
232
00:11:21,318 --> 00:11:24,317
_
233
00:11:24,332 --> 00:11:27,167
Aminetou Mint Ely
is an expert on Mauritania's
234
00:11:27,201 --> 00:11:29,102
forcefeeding fixation.
235
00:11:32,037 --> 00:11:35,238
_
236
00:11:38,112 --> 00:11:40,113
We're going to
head out now to the desert,
237
00:11:40,147 --> 00:11:41,948
to a Mauritanian fat camp.
238
00:11:41,983 --> 00:11:44,685
I'm going to take part and
basically going to be drinking
239
00:11:44,719 --> 00:11:46,020
several liters
of camel milk a day,
240
00:11:46,054 --> 00:11:48,556
eating as much millet as I can
keep down without barfing.
241
00:11:49,590 --> 00:11:52,126
We're at a fish market right now,
and I'm trying to find a scale
242
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,295
so we can do a little
weigh-in to see...
243
00:11:54,329 --> 00:11:58,265
kind of get a precise figure on how
beautiful they can make me in 2 days.
244
00:11:59,568 --> 00:12:03,037
Starting weight: I'm at
55 kilos right now,
245
00:12:03,071 --> 00:12:05,373
which I think is a nice weight.
246
00:12:05,407 --> 00:12:07,541
I'm going to do
2 or 3 days of gavage
247
00:12:07,576 --> 00:12:09,277
and see what that does to me.
248
00:12:17,586 --> 00:12:19,554
Doesn't seem like the best place
on Earth to be chugging milk,
249
00:12:19,588 --> 00:12:22,089
but I guess that's, you know,
that's the whole point of it.
250
00:12:22,124 --> 00:12:23,591
You gotta suffer
for your looks.
251
00:12:26,194 --> 00:12:30,063
This is my gavage mate Hanan,
a 19-year-old Mauritanian girl
252
00:12:30,098 --> 00:12:33,067
who's starting to get serious
about landing a husband.
253
00:12:33,101 --> 00:12:36,103
We started chitchat over
an appetizer of breadcrumbs
254
00:12:36,138 --> 00:12:37,671
drenched in olive oil.
255
00:12:37,706 --> 00:12:39,139
OK, just go?
256
00:12:39,173 --> 00:12:41,075
So basically you take
this like a pill
257
00:12:41,109 --> 00:12:43,577
and just ball it up and then...
258
00:12:43,612 --> 00:12:45,246
_
259
00:12:46,648 --> 00:12:48,583
It's all right.
260
00:12:49,117 --> 00:12:50,618
How many times have
you done this?
261
00:12:50,652 --> 00:12:52,386
_
262
00:12:52,387 --> 00:12:55,122
Did you want to do it or did
your mother make you do it?
263
00:12:55,157 --> 00:12:56,497
_
264
00:12:56,498 --> 00:12:59,759
_
265
00:13:00,260 --> 00:13:03,759
_
266
00:13:07,035 --> 00:13:09,035
Then we moved on to a
light lunch of goat meat, bread,
267
00:13:09,070 --> 00:13:12,205
and another bowl of milk
to open up the stomach.
268
00:13:13,708 --> 00:13:15,642
My first sip of camel milk
was a little underwhelming.
269
00:13:15,677 --> 00:13:18,078
It seemed especially watered
down for what I was expecting,
270
00:13:18,112 --> 00:13:20,047
almost like a super skim.
271
00:13:20,081 --> 00:13:23,217
Not bad so far, it's like
a Mauritanian French dip.
272
00:13:26,588 --> 00:13:28,356
It's really a light start.
273
00:13:30,092 --> 00:13:32,627
The meat's kind of doing stuff
to my head, but other than
274
00:13:32,661 --> 00:13:35,095
having like goat fat all over
my hands, I feel all right.
275
00:13:35,129 --> 00:13:37,197
It just feels like a big meal.
276
00:13:37,231 --> 00:13:39,065
So far I didn't get what
the big deal was with gavage.
277
00:13:39,100 --> 00:13:41,067
It just felt like
basic overeating.
278
00:13:41,102 --> 00:13:43,069
I mean, my whole
country overeats.
279
00:13:46,106 --> 00:13:49,074
That night, however,
the real feeding began.
280
00:13:49,108 --> 00:13:51,110
The camel skim I had
gotten used to was replaced
281
00:13:51,144 --> 00:13:54,580
with camel cream,
warm camel cream.
282
00:13:54,615 --> 00:13:57,617
I was starting to process
the true nature of gavage,
283
00:13:57,652 --> 00:13:59,686
as well as way too much milk.
284
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,188
_
285
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:06,488
_
286
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,888
_
287
00:14:10,664 --> 00:14:12,198
Ah, this is insane.
288
00:14:15,064 --> 00:14:18,038
_
289
00:14:18,039 --> 00:14:19,273
I did already.
290
00:14:19,274 --> 00:14:21,473
_
291
00:14:21,474 --> 00:14:24,473
_
292
00:14:24,580 --> 00:14:27,582
It feels like the food has
filled my entire chest cavity
293
00:14:27,616 --> 00:14:29,551
and is now deflating my lungs.
294
00:14:29,585 --> 00:14:31,620
I don't know what I
was thinking with this.
295
00:14:31,654 --> 00:14:35,157
Oh, I do not feel good at all.
296
00:14:41,330 --> 00:14:44,033
It's very breathtaking,
visually, to wake up to this,
297
00:14:45,067 --> 00:14:50,073
but I'm still full of milk despite
having pissed like 8 times.
298
00:14:50,607 --> 00:14:52,609
I was gonna ask "What's
for breakfast?" but...
299
00:14:57,615 --> 00:15:00,584
There's kind of like a frat
hazing element to this.
300
00:15:00,618 --> 00:15:02,186
3, 2, 1.
301
00:15:07,091 --> 00:15:08,458
Bravo.
302
00:15:09,493 --> 00:15:11,061
Eating wasn't even a
chore at this point.
303
00:15:11,095 --> 00:15:13,530
It was punishment.
304
00:15:13,564 --> 00:15:15,565
I definitely passed the
point I would have stopped
305
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,701
about 8 bites ago.
306
00:15:20,704 --> 00:15:22,203
_
307
00:15:22,204 --> 00:15:23,206
_
308
00:15:23,207 --> 00:15:25,006
_
309
00:15:27,607 --> 00:15:29,480
_
310
00:15:29,481 --> 00:15:32,050
Hurt doesn't begin to cover
my personal hell of milk
311
00:15:32,084 --> 00:15:34,052
and desert heat.
312
00:15:35,086 --> 00:15:37,656
OK, I just puked
twice in my mouth.
313
00:15:37,690 --> 00:15:40,058
Oh, shit.
314
00:15:40,093 --> 00:15:42,594
Oh, God, I really don't
feel good...guys.
315
00:15:44,130 --> 00:15:46,098
Oh!
316
00:15:46,132 --> 00:15:48,167
Ugghh!
317
00:15:48,201 --> 00:15:50,169
Now that we were barf buddies,
318
00:15:50,203 --> 00:15:52,071
Hanan seemed a lot more
sympathetic to me,
319
00:15:52,105 --> 00:15:54,106
even though what I'd gone
through was only a sliver
320
00:15:54,141 --> 00:15:56,142
of the full gavage experience.
321
00:15:56,176 --> 00:15:59,945
_
322
00:15:59,946 --> 00:16:02,681
I think that if I did two
more days, I'd probably die.
323
00:16:05,052 --> 00:16:07,020
The thing is, what we've just
been through with Hanan
324
00:16:07,554 --> 00:16:10,023
is the voluntary rich girl
version of gavage.
325
00:16:10,057 --> 00:16:12,626
In some parts of the desert,
parents still start
326
00:16:12,660 --> 00:16:14,428
forcefeeding their
daughters as toddlers
327
00:16:14,462 --> 00:16:17,531
and crush their toes with
pincers if they resist.
328
00:16:17,565 --> 00:16:20,934
Gavage isn't just the desert
milk-chugging ritual.
329
00:16:20,968 --> 00:16:23,603
Gavage is an entire
lifestyle of overeating.
330
00:16:23,637 --> 00:16:25,038
You have 2 to 3 lunches daily.
331
00:16:25,072 --> 00:16:27,073
You stay inside and
try not to move.
332
00:16:27,108 --> 00:16:28,708
You don't have a job.
333
00:16:28,743 --> 00:16:30,710
If you have daughters when
you're married, would you...
334
00:16:30,745 --> 00:16:33,046
do you think you would
do gavage with them?
335
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:37,215
_
336
00:16:41,088 --> 00:16:43,088
I think it's about time to go
back to the scale now
337
00:16:43,090 --> 00:16:46,059
and see how much damage two days
of this can do to you.
338
00:16:46,094 --> 00:16:49,596
So I was 55 before,
and I am now 59.
339
00:16:49,630 --> 00:16:52,565
It's about 10 pounds, so...
340
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,167
I mean, if you multiply that
341
00:16:54,202 --> 00:16:56,603
by doing it week after week after
week and making it your lifestyle,
342
00:16:56,637 --> 00:16:58,572
this is nuts.
343
00:16:58,606 --> 00:17:00,086
This is the most
insane crash dieting.
344
00:17:01,709 --> 00:17:04,010
In a way, fashion and beauty
has always been about trying
345
00:17:04,045 --> 00:17:06,914
to make yourself the opposite
of what you actually are.
346
00:17:06,948 --> 00:17:09,517
In the West, rich people dress
in torn jeans and try to look
347
00:17:09,551 --> 00:17:12,019
like they can't get enough
to eat, while our poor
348
00:17:12,053 --> 00:17:14,055
leave the tags on their clothes
so you know how much they
349
00:17:14,089 --> 00:17:15,756
overpaid for them.
350
00:17:15,791 --> 00:17:18,025
So why should it be surprising
then, in a landscape
351
00:17:18,059 --> 00:17:21,028
designed to make you skinny,
the best way to boost your image
352
00:17:21,062 --> 00:17:23,430
is to slam milk
until you are obese.
353
00:17:23,464 --> 00:17:25,032
It shouldn't be a surprise.
354
00:17:25,066 --> 00:17:27,034
Just a little gross.
355
00:17:30,538 --> 00:17:34,108
Wealth disparity in the U.S. has
become a very hot topic recently.
356
00:17:34,142 --> 00:17:38,179
The 99% versus the 1% became a
rallying cry that was adopted
357
00:17:38,213 --> 00:17:40,281
almost instantaneously.
358
00:17:40,315 --> 00:17:43,184
The growing gap between rich
and poor is a global issue,
359
00:17:43,218 --> 00:17:45,920
but in the slums of Mumbai,
where over 11 million residents
360
00:17:45,955 --> 00:17:49,157
live in poverty,
the contrast is startling.
361
00:17:49,191 --> 00:17:52,060
So I went to India to see
just how bad it really is.
362
00:17:54,094 --> 00:17:57,594
_
363
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,502
India is home to the
highest number of poor people
364
00:18:02,536 --> 00:18:07,040
in the world, with over
360 million of its citizens
365
00:18:07,074 --> 00:18:09,008
living below the poverty line.
366
00:18:09,042 --> 00:18:11,510
And India's largest city,
Mumbai, is home to
367
00:18:11,545 --> 00:18:13,479
an estimated 22 million people,
368
00:18:13,513 --> 00:18:16,015
half of which live in slums.
369
00:18:16,049 --> 00:18:19,485
This means that 4 times
the population of Chicago
370
00:18:19,519 --> 00:18:22,187
is living in absolute squalor.
371
00:18:24,057 --> 00:18:27,493
Now contrast this with the
fact that Mumbai is also home
372
00:18:27,527 --> 00:18:31,997
to the largest and most expensive
single-family dwelling on Earth.
373
00:18:32,031 --> 00:18:36,301
India's richest man, Mukesh Ambani's
billion-dollar personal palace
374
00:18:36,335 --> 00:18:40,571
is a 27-story,
400,000-square-foot skyscraper
375
00:18:40,606 --> 00:18:44,975
that takes over 600 employees
just to maintain it day to day.
376
00:18:45,009 --> 00:18:49,412
And if that's not freaky enough,
this futuristic mega-super-mansion
377
00:18:49,447 --> 00:18:53,449
actually looks down on some of
the worst slums in the world.
378
00:18:56,007 --> 00:18:58,149
_
379
00:19:05,529 --> 00:19:07,429
- How are you?
- Hi.
380
00:19:08,164 --> 00:19:10,366
- Good to see you!
- Same to you.
381
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,168
Where are we right now?
382
00:19:12,169 --> 00:19:15,037
_
383
00:19:15,038 --> 00:19:16,672
And how many people live in it?
384
00:19:18,041 --> 00:19:20,609
A million people
live in this slum.
385
00:19:20,644 --> 00:19:23,112
How many people in
Mumbai live in slums?
386
00:19:23,244 --> 00:19:25,047
_
387
00:19:25,048 --> 00:19:26,548
So, 11 million people
living in slums.
388
00:19:26,582 --> 00:19:28,183
Can you show us around?
389
00:19:28,184 --> 00:19:29,483
_
390
00:19:31,554 --> 00:19:33,455
So, a million people live here.
391
00:19:33,489 --> 00:19:36,190
What are their qualities
that they live under?
392
00:19:36,414 --> 00:19:38,114
_
393
00:19:38,315 --> 00:19:41,714
_
394
00:19:41,715 --> 00:19:44,539
_
395
00:19:44,540 --> 00:19:46,533
- Right now, I'm smoking--
- You smoke?
396
00:19:46,568 --> 00:19:47,935
No, but I'm smoking
with you right now.
397
00:19:47,969 --> 00:19:49,570
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We are smoking, yeah.
398
00:19:50,105 --> 00:19:52,504
_
399
00:19:54,575 --> 00:19:57,377
How much would it
cost to live here?
400
00:19:57,402 --> 00:19:59,402
_
401
00:19:59,927 --> 00:20:02,627
_
402
00:20:02,652 --> 00:20:04,652
_
403
00:20:05,477 --> 00:20:07,077
_
404
00:20:07,102 --> 00:20:10,902
_
405
00:20:10,903 --> 00:20:11,723
Right.
406
00:20:11,748 --> 00:20:14,748
_
407
00:20:14,773 --> 00:20:17,373
_
408
00:20:17,398 --> 00:20:20,098
_
409
00:20:20,099 --> 00:20:22,901
So they all work there,
and they all live there?
410
00:20:22,935 --> 00:20:24,369
- Yes. Yeah.
- At the same time.
411
00:20:24,404 --> 00:20:26,305
- Because they can't pay rent.
- Yes.
412
00:20:26,339 --> 00:20:30,839
_
413
00:20:31,111 --> 00:20:33,246
But how would you even
live in there, though?
414
00:20:33,671 --> 00:20:36,371
_
415
00:20:36,396 --> 00:20:39,896
_
416
00:20:40,087 --> 00:20:42,088
- Yeah, maybe the world.
- Yeah.
417
00:20:54,135 --> 00:20:55,969
So there's open
sewers everywhere.
418
00:20:56,003 --> 00:20:58,104
It smells quite pungent.
419
00:20:58,139 --> 00:21:01,041
In fact, it's estimated that
there's only one working toilet
420
00:21:01,075 --> 00:21:05,078
for every 1,400 people
living in the slum.
421
00:21:05,112 --> 00:21:08,047
If TV were scratch-and-sniff,
422
00:21:08,082 --> 00:21:10,583
then everyone would be
barfing right now.
423
00:21:10,618 --> 00:21:13,086
It smells so bad,
it's shocking.
424
00:21:17,591 --> 00:21:21,228
I don't know what just fell
on me, but it's not good.
425
00:21:21,453 --> 00:21:22,953
_
426
00:21:22,978 --> 00:21:24,978
_
427
00:21:27,203 --> 00:21:29,703
_
428
00:21:30,428 --> 00:21:32,428
_
429
00:21:32,753 --> 00:21:35,353
_
430
00:21:35,443 --> 00:21:37,044
- They make new plastic out of it.
- Right.
431
00:21:37,069 --> 00:21:39,569
_
432
00:21:39,647 --> 00:21:41,080
Not great, no.
433
00:21:41,115 --> 00:21:44,884
So they've got all the shit
plastic from all over Mumbai,
434
00:21:44,918 --> 00:21:47,553
and they bring it here
to the slum,
435
00:21:47,587 --> 00:21:51,624
and then they just sort of,
by hand, recycle it.
436
00:21:51,658 --> 00:21:53,259
Insane.
437
00:21:54,728 --> 00:21:56,095
There's no real roads,
there's just winding alleyway
438
00:21:56,130 --> 00:21:59,599
after winding alleyway, which
wouldn't be so bad except
439
00:21:59,634 --> 00:22:03,003
there's over a million people
that live in this slum.
440
00:22:03,037 --> 00:22:08,008
And around every corner, it seemed that
there was something even more shocking.
441
00:22:08,043 --> 00:22:12,046
There were young kids working in the
dark, running makeshift machines
442
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,214
that were
retooling waste metal.
443
00:22:15,884 --> 00:22:19,086
And as we walked around, I realized
that the whole economy of Dharavi
444
00:22:19,120 --> 00:22:23,223
is based on the garbage of
the real economy of Mumbai.
445
00:22:24,692 --> 00:22:27,560
Everywhere you looked, people
were trying to make something,
446
00:22:27,595 --> 00:22:31,063
anything, to sell or trade,
desperately trying to make
447
00:22:31,098 --> 00:22:35,568
some money out of the
waste of the real world.
448
00:22:35,602 --> 00:22:38,037
Because it's so wind-y,
there's no real roads,
449
00:22:38,071 --> 00:22:43,076
we're gonna go up on the roof
and see if we can see the slum.
450
00:22:43,110 --> 00:22:46,580
I don't know if this is
up to safety code.
451
00:22:48,616 --> 00:22:50,250
How far does the
slum go? It's huge.
452
00:22:50,275 --> 00:22:52,875
_
453
00:22:53,154 --> 00:22:55,589
432-acre slum.
454
00:22:55,624 --> 00:22:57,758
Right in the middle of Mumbai.
455
00:22:57,793 --> 00:23:00,528
It reminds me of like "Mad Max"
or something, where they were
456
00:23:00,562 --> 00:23:03,030
living off garbage
and fixing the garbage.
457
00:23:03,065 --> 00:23:06,067
Or, do you remember in "Star
Wars", do you know when they
458
00:23:06,101 --> 00:23:08,503
go down into the garbage?
459
00:23:08,537 --> 00:23:11,072
If you jumped in there there'd
be like an eye come up
460
00:23:11,107 --> 00:23:13,508
and then go after you.
461
00:23:13,542 --> 00:23:16,611
So, you have all these people
living in the slum, they sleep
462
00:23:16,679 --> 00:23:18,112
under their sewing machines.
463
00:23:18,147 --> 00:23:19,547
What do they think about a guy
464
00:23:19,582 --> 00:23:21,216
has a billion-
dollar house?
465
00:23:21,241 --> 00:23:22,841
_
466
00:23:22,866 --> 00:23:25,866
_
467
00:23:26,391 --> 00:23:27,891
_
468
00:23:27,916 --> 00:23:29,123
_
469
00:23:29,124 --> 00:23:30,725
Yeah.
470
00:23:30,750 --> 00:23:32,093
_
471
00:23:32,094 --> 00:23:35,029
Now, do you think people
who live in the building,
472
00:23:35,063 --> 00:23:37,131
who are swimming in the swimming
pool feel bad when they look down
473
00:23:37,165 --> 00:23:40,201
and they see people
sleeping in the streets?
474
00:23:40,226 --> 00:23:41,726
_
475
00:23:41,751 --> 00:23:45,751
_
476
00:23:45,776 --> 00:23:47,776
_
477
00:23:47,801 --> 00:23:51,001
_
478
00:23:51,026 --> 00:23:53,026
_
479
00:23:53,051 --> 00:23:56,251
_
480
00:23:56,618 --> 00:23:57,652
Yeah, yeah.
481
00:23:57,677 --> 00:23:59,621
_
482
00:23:59,622 --> 00:24:02,523
It's too much gap.
There's too much gap.
483
00:24:02,558 --> 00:24:06,061
After spending some time in
Dharavi, we wanted to see how
484
00:24:06,095 --> 00:24:09,999
the proverbial 1% live in the
skyscrapers that reign these slums.
485
00:24:10,033 --> 00:24:13,535
So we hooked up with a textile
magnate named Gautam Singhania
486
00:24:13,570 --> 00:24:17,039
to show us around Mumbai
in his private helicopter.
487
00:24:17,074 --> 00:24:20,742
So, how many million
people live in Mumbai?
488
00:24:20,767 --> 00:24:23,667
_
489
00:24:23,692 --> 00:24:25,692
_
490
00:24:26,117 --> 00:24:29,717
_
491
00:24:29,742 --> 00:24:31,742
_
492
00:24:32,087 --> 00:24:36,057
Gautam is your quintessential
1-percenter playboy,
493
00:24:36,092 --> 00:24:38,093
complete with a fleet
of yachts, aptly named after
494
00:24:38,127 --> 00:24:42,197
James Bond films, massive
houses, and, of course,
495
00:24:42,231 --> 00:24:45,066
a stable filled with the
world's fastest cars.
496
00:24:47,136 --> 00:24:48,569
Wow.
497
00:24:48,604 --> 00:24:51,039
So this is a Ferrari,
I know that much.
498
00:24:51,073 --> 00:24:53,074
Yeah, it's the 458 Italia.
499
00:24:53,109 --> 00:24:55,744
This was the first 458
that came to India.
500
00:24:55,778 --> 00:24:57,078
So you got the first one.
501
00:24:57,113 --> 00:25:01,549
Yes. This is an 07 Gallardo,
which has been modified.
502
00:25:01,583 --> 00:25:03,218
It's got twin turbos.
503
00:25:03,252 --> 00:25:05,020
It's fast, trust me.
504
00:25:05,054 --> 00:25:07,456
Do you actually
ever drive the cars?
505
00:25:07,490 --> 00:25:11,025
We drive every weekend. There's
a supercar club that we have,
506
00:25:11,060 --> 00:25:13,528
and it's a bunch
of guys who love cars.
507
00:25:13,562 --> 00:25:17,031
When we go in the club with
the boys, it's always good
508
00:25:17,066 --> 00:25:19,034
to know you have the
power under your foot.
509
00:25:19,068 --> 00:25:21,569
Sure. Are we gonna go
take one on the road?
510
00:25:21,604 --> 00:25:23,037
Sure, let's go.
511
00:25:24,573 --> 00:25:26,741
And how did you fall in
love with cars first?
512
00:25:26,776 --> 00:25:28,910
I guess it's in your DNA.
513
00:25:28,944 --> 00:25:30,545
Here we go.
514
00:25:42,092 --> 00:25:44,060
You get a lot of
stares when you drive
515
00:25:44,094 --> 00:25:46,062
around the streets of Mumbai?
516
00:25:46,096 --> 00:25:48,064
That's why we formed the
supercar club you know.
517
00:25:48,098 --> 00:25:50,534
The point of the club is that
when we guys used to go out,
518
00:25:50,568 --> 00:25:52,069
you know, just one of us,
two of us, three of us,
519
00:25:52,103 --> 00:25:55,071
so many people used to
stand and, you know, look.
520
00:25:55,106 --> 00:25:57,640
And we just figured that,
it's just much easier
521
00:25:57,674 --> 00:25:59,108
when we have
everybody together.
522
00:26:05,983 --> 00:26:08,417
Now, maybe it was because we
were driving around Mumbai
523
00:26:08,451 --> 00:26:11,019
in a quarter of a million
dollar supercar, but Gautam
524
00:26:11,054 --> 00:26:13,055
did not seem to want to talk
about the obvious disparity
525
00:26:13,089 --> 00:26:16,792
of wealth in the city.
526
00:26:16,827 --> 00:26:20,196
Now, what do people think
about Mukesh's house?
527
00:26:20,821 --> 00:26:22,821
_
528
00:26:22,846 --> 00:26:24,846
_
529
00:26:24,871 --> 00:26:26,871
_
530
00:26:27,037 --> 00:26:29,538
And so you're building a house but
you don't want to talk about it.
531
00:26:29,573 --> 00:26:31,607
- Yeah.
- OK, that's OK.
532
00:26:31,642 --> 00:26:34,577
Because of the bad publicity
that Mukesh Ambani had enjoyed
533
00:26:34,611 --> 00:26:37,180
because of his house,
Singhania didn't really want
534
00:26:37,214 --> 00:26:39,682
to talk about the new
home he was building.
535
00:26:39,716 --> 00:26:43,052
He did let slip, however, that
his personal private skyscraper
536
00:26:43,086 --> 00:26:46,556
was actually going to be 10
stories higher than Ambani's
537
00:26:46,590 --> 00:26:51,060
and have not one, but two
Olympic-sized swimming pools.
538
00:26:54,098 --> 00:26:57,600
Mumbai perfectly exemplifies
the growing gap between rich
539
00:26:57,635 --> 00:27:01,037
and poor, but the problem
is actually a global one.
540
00:27:01,071 --> 00:27:03,806
Even the old Communist
societies of Russia and China,
541
00:27:03,841 --> 00:27:07,009
have now morphed into arguably
the most capitalist countries
542
00:27:07,044 --> 00:27:08,577
in the world.
543
00:27:08,612 --> 00:27:11,280
It seems that in our modern
age, there are very few places
544
00:27:11,314 --> 00:27:13,715
left on earth where the
rich aren't getting richer
545
00:27:13,750 --> 00:27:15,984
and the poor poorer.
546
00:27:16,019 --> 00:27:19,321
When you see it in
Mumbai, it's so clear-cut
547
00:27:19,355 --> 00:27:23,625
because it's poverty and
people living off the garbage
548
00:27:23,659 --> 00:27:26,294
of the other society
and the other economy.
549
00:27:26,328 --> 00:27:29,463
And the other half are building
skyscrapers into the sky
550
00:27:29,498 --> 00:27:33,101
and living on megayachts and
flying into them on helicopters.
551
00:27:33,135 --> 00:27:35,937
And you say, "What's
happening to the world?"
552
00:27:35,972 --> 00:27:39,041
Half of the world is living off
the garbage of the other half
553
00:27:39,075 --> 00:27:41,077
in this
post-apocalyptic nightmare.
554
00:27:41,546 --> 00:27:51,908
