#1 Yeah it's all fun and play until someone gets an eye poked out. We'll see how much you like it when your child gets born with cancer.

#11 Some theories suggest that modern ways of living and the stresses that go with it are a cause of cancer. It's thought that the cancer rate has skyrocketed in the past few hundred years - that would suggest that living in harmony with nature is actually much better for people, because as people have started living in cities, eating processed food, working long hours indoors and driving cars cancer has become much more prevalent. Sure people live longer now due to disease control and better medicine but who are we to say that living like this is worse than how we do? I would bet none of the people in this video have depression or eating disorders.
Beautiful vid btw

I want to live like these people! 
the world isn't right what we have achieved is amazing but at what cost... look at the greedy company's and insane governments taking all they can and giving little to none back to help any of the worlds problems

Twisting and binding mother nature and forcing her to do man's bidding, and no one is crying out for justice ???? 
Good , because this is a perfect example of people working in harmony with the natural environment. Wonderful video.

#12 - people have always died of cancer (when other things didn't kill them first). They just used to lump every type of death together and call it "natural causes". Part of the reason the rate of EVERYTHING is increasing is because we are actually counting now.

What I get from watching this video clip is, We should all look at WHAT WE HAVE to fix our problems. They survive because they stood up to their problem and with one person's idea and lots of help, it has become a way of life.............just as many things we do. Beautiful story, will remember.

This is in Meghalaya state of India in the North-east. The capital is Shillong. I stayed there for a while. I think the people in the video are the local Khasi tribe.

Correct. They are from the Khasi tribe. I visited these two bridges in April this year. They are superb works of art. Patiently built over many years, the roots are trained regularly and they are sturdy and literally vibrant.

Even if they don't have dots on their heads, they're still Snakecharmers! As for the bridge, I'll stick with steel, concrete, and asphalt. (this is why we call it the Third World)

The mother nature provides every thing to each individual. It is for the individual to get the best of it and sustain with nature

Kennyhen and his ilk are certainly the virus of the world...
We need to always live in harmony with nature.The video is such a fantastic example of how people and nature can co-habit this earth.... If everyone did the same, disasters like New Orleans would NEVER have happened.... but I guess Kennyhen and his "First World" attitudes know better...

There a couple of comments on here made by absolute twits and it's because of their type of narrow, short-sighted attitude that the world is in its present state....one can only feel sorry for them - they probably see nothing wrong with the state of the world today....
Brilliant, inspiring video of a people that understand so much more than many of us....

Can anybody tell me, how the name of this place is spelled. All this video tells me, is that the place is located in north eastern India, but I'd like to find out more about it.
Thanks,

It's important, as Parents, that we guide and teach our Children all we can about good and honest survival in this world.

No amount of architecture or engineering know-how can ever duplicate God's creation...nature. The living bridge is one great creation. Simply awesome!

Oh My Goodness....how simple and awesome and beautiful is this? I hope in
500 years, the people and the magnificent land the people reside on will
be as simple and be free of the pollution some of us face not only in our
environment but also with human beings and their lack of appreciation for
the simple life.

And loadrunner, you wish to deny these native children what you have benefited from for all your blessed life? Or maybe you live as they?
