Our correspondent Jelle travels in a traditional truck from Mumbai, former Bombay, to Delhi. A beautiful journey for everyone who loves trucks, and road-trips.

Jelle dives into the truck drivers world, and drives along with the truck drivers: a father and his son Singh. Indian lorries are driving artworks, and keep India running. During this four-day drive they pass a wedding, false toll gates and the driver's birthplace in the middle of the Rajasthan desert.

Part of a documentary series, called 'From Bihar to Bangalore'.
Episode 8: 'Truck drivers in India', July 2015.
Original title: 'De weg naar huis'.
Presented by: Jelle Brandt Corstius.

Jelle Brandt Corstius travels through India. Jelle previously tried to understand Russia, and now, he is now trying to capture the essence of India. This country is poorer than the poorest 26 African countries altogether: 426 million poor people are in India. The contrast between the different layers of society is striking: there is is also huge wealth in this country.
Brandt Corstius travels from Bihar, located in the poor east, to Bangalore, the technological giant in the rich southwest. A road trip full of adventures, thanks to Jelle’s peculiar humor and his keen eye on the world.
