Young people in Albania working in the mines, Crom is their daily buka ( Photo/Video)

They're children from 10,11 and as many as 12-year-olds who are looking for chromium that is used in our daily lives for many objects. Instead of playing or studying like many other children, they “lose” this way.

So begins reporting from the Bulqiza Italian poll show “Le Line” With the ironic title “In this city of nearly 10,000. The journey begins here, where some 120 thousand tons are transported each year, with a worth of about $42 million. But residents do not benefit. You just walk in the middle of the road to find out a lot.

Next, the show tells the story of a lady who has her two children who work collecting chronms in the mountains. Furthermore, the cameras focus on the ceiling of her home, while the comments journalists make: “Look at the ceiling that's about to fall on your head! The only thing that's abundant in its refrigerator is: “Uy, and so are green salads (kark, tomato, etc.) kept in salt water! ”

“Poverty is extreme because there is no electricity”, show journalist says. “Ergis collects only chrom. When you leave tomorrow, he didn't do any homework, nothing. “actually, instead of going to school, Gesti should help the family economy”, the journalist comments.

“How much do you get from the chromium you collected today? “100 lek”,- he says. Gest then invites reporters from his show to introduce his friends. One of them is Tim. “don't you go to school?”,- she asks. They give him back. If it's Monday “It's Monday's “, but we need to look for chrom”.

Like him, his parents work in the mines, and Tim invites us to know them. We earn 30,000 dollars, and this (my husband) is 12,500. It's only about lights and debts. My children almost from 300 to 400 a day”, Tim's mother says. Again, the journalist comments on the house, saying that the economy looks better than the first family, but here it opens the refrigerator and finds the empty egg grocer.

Would you like to eat this evening, Valentina? Here, although poor, the family invites her to dinner, but this time the show reporter... an Italian pizza. “From a very good view”, Tim tells him after a few hours of preparing and extracting pizza from the wooden oven.

He next tells the journalist Italy has only seen on TV and he will, in fact, become a Usta, like his father. “ ...there's no playground, there's nothing and I get bored”, he tells the journalist, as he follows: “Those who don't go for chromum... I don't want them to think I'm going there because I don't have bread to eat”.

So they wake up every day at 7: 30 a.m., deciding which mountain they'll go looking for chromium this time...
