It was wild, no better reason to go to the other side of the world than shooting for a fern documentary. And what an incredible place Fiji is. Thanks so much for having me once again, more is coming… 🤫🫶🔥

Watching this as an atheist is hard. Seems like a bunch of 'tardation.

You guys are a little too open with what you are doing, hence revoking the permits and whatnot. You made yourself very easy targets.

this "making YouTube money off of other people's tragedy" is straight BS. this boy/girl confused host is likely going to get SO MANY PEOPLE INJURED OR KILLED. this channel and production is just as destructive as cult formation. You didn't stop it. You didn't really get any info. You endangered every person whose face or any description was given that could be analyzed to track them down. This is terrible and I am highly disappointed at your channel and intentions. Shame on you for being even lower and claiming to be virtuous for "filming". Shame shame shame.

This video investigation is not conclusive. Why don’t you investigate Israel genocide in gaza ?

na przykład uważam że wetowanie podwyższenie akcyzy alkocholowej jest idiotyczne ponieważ rząd dostaje rocznie z akcyzy ~15mld PLN a traci na alkocholu z powodu na miedzy innymi leczenie i wymiar sprawiedliwości szacuję sie na ~31mld dolarów

Just a few days ago it has been announced that Fiji might be re-classified on the human trafficking index to level 3. This is on the same level as North Korea and Cambodia. The downgrade would mean Fiji would lose tons of aid as well as other international funding.

Gotta say I was kinda.. disapointed by this document? From the video it seemed like the crew only sent a few emails and got interview with a few Fijians and the rest of the video was publicly available info.

Grace Road is the best service provider to every traveler in and around Fiji.
It looks after and provide jobs to indigenous people better than rich Indian business owners. Facts.

Note that Asians are often justifiably afraid of blacks. Maybe that is why they refused at first 😛

This video is a textbook case of sending a journalist across the world for no need. All of this could of been done remotely, safer and probably to a far greater effect given could easier convince folk to talk via anonymous forums or the like. All the dude did there was talk to a few folk on street and got nothing, then read a few emails off.

I had no idea how sinister Grace Road was! Just a few months ago me and my family went to dine at one of their restaurants

3:00 I mean tbf you are a hostile film crew, they will know asking about them and likely working on an expose, regardless you entered the land they controlled so to pretend they don't know what doing is ignorant.
