The Svans: Between Tradition and Modern World | SLICE TRAVEL | FULL DOC

Dear Svan, if you're reading this, read very carefully. I understand that life is tough over there BUT life where we are, in the "civilized" and "modern" west, in much tougher than you realize. We might have more than you do but we are NOT as free as you are and freedom is much more important than material goods. Stay there and enjoy what you have...do not envy us, we are all slaves here...

This is how my grandparents lived in the Bosnian mountains ⛰️ 😢 They were very , healthy and happy and lived into their 90s , still working the land 12 hour day's.

I visited Svaneti in 2018 and did the 4 days trekking through beautiful forest and meadows. It changed my outlook in life since then. I was lucky enough to meet the locals and stay at their guesthouses in all the mountain villages we stopped at. They are very sustainable and self reliant.

At time 14:05, When the boy kisses his Father, my eyes filled with water, after all ,the boy brings the food for his hard working father. Glory to the father. It is not only any modern world achievement like Marks and Medals,money but also your boy stood beside you when you work hard. Note that Many modern achiever left there parents. To me,this scene is very beautiful.

Preserve your culture fight for your religion ✝️ and save your tradition.

I am from Kazakhstan and we have so many similarities with Svan people! I enjoyed watching this marvellous documentary! Wish them all the best from the bottom of my heart! God bless you!

The Svan are blessed by not living the modern nightmare

I envy these people because they aren't slaves to the modern world.

The Svans are Orthodox Christians, rich in tradition and love for God, Family and Country. Tough and beautiful People proud of their traditions.

I think the way forward for humanity will be going back to live like this❤❤

As an American having lived through man made cancer and ever increasing degradation of society I'd trade places in a heart beat with these most honest and independent of people. We in the west have become much too soft and weak. These are the people who will carry on humanity after we all allow modern technology to render us too ignorant to survive. But most of all, they hold steadfast to Christianity and live the way God intended. They are the closest to perfection as humans can get. God will always protect them, it's beautiful.

Svan people keep hold of your lifestyle culture and traditions with both hands. Preserve it and guard it. Don’t wish for what outsiders have because you have everything they outside wishes…freedom!❤❤plant some trees for wood and fruit

It is better to be a slave to your own needs then the needs of the world. Upgrade of the modern world is never ending. We in the modern world have become slaves to the technology.

This is what humans are supposed to do. When technology came to the world that was our downfall. 14:03 what a lovely place. To keep up with this way of life takes back breaking work and the love of the traditions and family.

I grow up in a village in Romania , and I see the customs are almost the same, I feel I am looking to a video about my own village...only the language is different....I am so suprized

Good Morning from Las Vegas, Nevada, USA My name is Dail, I'm 78, a retired registered nurse. What an amazing and surprising lifestyle you have, thank you for sharing. I didn't know people were surviving on our earth now in 2024 in the conditions that you are. It appears that you are doing as well as possible given your situation; isn't that the way humans are though, we each do what we must do to survive. The best I can say is that with with the automation that is at your doorstep, DO NOT forget your family values and socialist poison destroy your family unit/values. This is eating away at our American foundation, it is unstopable.

I have similar experiences. Mom called me in, gave me a colander and big spoon and said go get potatoes which in the summer meant dig them from the garden and in the winter under the house. In the summers I stayed with my aunt and uncle They raised a year’s worth of vegetables and wheat they took to a mill to be ground for a years worth of flour. They had livestock, cows for milk, butter, cheese, they had beef and pork they raised wheat for meat. I used to get wheat kernels out of the bed of my uncle’s truck. I am so grateful I got to experience some of the things I envy about these people. They are a beautiful people.

they are helpfull each other . what a wonderful world they are live in! may god bless the people.

I love how the narrator tries to make everything sound as a chore or tragedy. When it is actually a blessing, and the infiltration of modernity is the real hardship...

If you love Georgians they will love ten times more. I am telling you the truth! Please trust me on this. 😀😀😀These people need you!!!!
