A good day. The next morning starts early chang has been on his feet since 4 am then he drives up to 200 kilometers with his group. Fuel food and Accommodation Costs him 25 euros a day in addition to the loan he took out in thailand. When they reach the forests they separate quickly in the next few hours they all search for themselves chang is the beginning in his grave. Well. Its a constant struggle one step forward one step back on some days when i pick up my i feel really good but then on other days when things arent going so well i sometimes think what am i doing here but. This is filling up slowly whether he finds many berries its a matter of luck. In addition many bushes were destroyed by haste in forest fires last summer. Now. Allow it to pass on whether i find a good spot right away then i can pick up a lot. But if not i have to walk up to 10 kilometers constantly looking around its hard to protect. Journalists much also makes his way streets swedish forests and harvest time. Hes been reporting on the situation in the berry industry fields hes worried the number of time barry collectors has grown again you see it is 6200. So many more than usual and at the same time there are only a few berries this year. That means theres a great risk that the times will not own enough money and will barely reach the minimum wage. In fact many berry pickers may return to thailand. We dont from him that seasonal time workers are even a tax saving model because they dont come from the e. U. Swedish businesses dont have to pay income tax. We show him the Employment Contracts of the times weve been filming. Says the minimum wage they. I agree to is an improvement but the ties still have to deal with the loans they took out to come to sweden. We overcovered off. If you here for 2 months you work one month just to pay off your debts and another month to be able to make money out of their finance pretty optimistic because it takes most of them longer to pay off their debts but all of. Chang has been in sweden for 4 wakes and he still paying off his loan the dream of big money gets a little small man every day chang has a word with his wife telling her not to worry. Hello. How are you. What are you doing now. His daughter also comes on the phone. She wants to know whether hes already collected many berries yes quite a few i dont take any time off and im working all the time you know. I get it ill probably make less money than i expected. But if i come home with something thats fine my wife will understand hello its my 1st time. Hes driven by hope chang says hell tell us how much money hell finally be able to bring home in 6 weeks well keep in touch. At a time in thailand we visit the village chief hereupon is something of a role model for many who travel to sweden every summer because he did it himself with his profits he bought a tractor a car and soon found that. He and his wife and now working in the field again its their own field. Goal by one company here to become free to the other people in the village made so much money that they invested in a Small Business in the city. Dropped i car you although i now have to stand on the markets and work there for. Many just dont feel like working on the paddy field any moment i need valinor theyre waiting to be able to pick berries again in sweden or my old little girl and i now let other people work in their fields all in their community its all in the who are really. Seasonal work in sweden has brought money into the village but also a bit of envy because everyone here wants to live a better life they want to live like the village chief and his wife. Swedens forests are a place of hope the tide very peak is for a better life for a way out of poverty. When now in northern sweden just below the Arctic Circle hi lynn and it must be here somewhere they sent us the g. P. S. Coordinates for may seem a parking lot somewhere in lapland.

Pilot and we dont tell us that they are more than 4 hours drive away from their accommodation. Not that we have to sleep here somehow we have a tent for the 2 of us the others have to squeeze into the car at home and. I am tired but whenever i find berries things somehow keep going there for me. They have to drive so far away because there are hardly any berries with this trying to make the long journey worthwhile they sleep outside for one night and then spend another night in the camp. Where that is miserable and which bought a particularly rare berry is said to grow here. For our car we dont know if i want to know what we were quite far south yesterday but it wasnt worth it. We are now working our way further north if necessary up to the norwegian border you know we. Need them for. And this is how i can try our. Little but i still dont know if this is a good area well have to walk around. First then well get a better idea in the forest. But i feel. Like every morning their day begins with and gone. Along the road for a while and then into the wilderness. John does not want to rely on his phone or g. P. S. In this area every 100 manges he mocks the way that we dont harm our point its a constant struggle. When the day goes well and you collect a lot of very stings look up when i but on other days when things are not going well i ask myself why im here lack of it borrow my time im on a map im going. To 2 of them a searching for the red cloud berry apia it looks like yellow raspberry and only grows in the regions of scandinavia. They earn almost 11 euros for a kilogram. Cailean has found a good sport now she has to be quick before the others come in their Group Everyone picks for themselves. Who are out here im afraid of the white man spirits no not thats why i pray every night before i go to bed why me why does our everything has gone well his spirits have not nor have the wild animals but we are always on guard. By. What matters is the days healed. Despite the cold and rain. Tomorrow and will keep picking on top of very last day i will not do any laundry but will fly home in my work clothes we wont take a break any more like our boss also wants us to make enough money for you and i know that. The months they searched for cloud berries. The result is sobering 2019 it was a bad year after all the debts have been paid each of them had just and 1119 years. When one will be back in line with the america for. Yes we will come back again even if we furnish less than last year its still enough for us to pay the school fees for our daughter. What i face there is that i hopefully have. Marked it down. At the end of the day they returned to their accommodation a 4 minute hostile. The 2 do not give up their belief in the great opportunity in sweden maybe it will get better next year. And chang it was his 1st summer in sweden and he wasnt the fastest but his group divided the money for the berries evenly among themselves after 2 and a half months he wont come home empty handed. After deducting all costs he earned 1300 euros. How do you call it that i think of this year as Something Like my apprenticeship my 1st time and that is still a day but next year when i come back everything will be better to have them all already know the area the ward he they would have i know how to pick a lot of areas.
