0:00:02 > 0:00:04- Meet Mali, Oliver, Kassia, Michael and Rhianna.- Hiya!
0:00:04 > 0:00:06Five pampered kids with all of the clothes,
0:00:06 > 0:00:09gadgets and toys they could ever dream of.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11I'm happy that I've got everything.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13I'm the brand man.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16We've travelled nearly 2,000 miles from the Amazon city
0:00:16 > 0:00:20of Manaus to the wilds of the Mato Grosso do Sul
0:00:20 > 0:00:23to start work in the Brazilian beef industry.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27Can our kids cope on a cattle farm?
0:00:27 > 0:00:30You know how hard it is to manoeuvre with a wheelbarrow?
0:00:30 > 0:00:31And what will happen
0:00:31 > 0:00:34when they're asked to work in a meat processing plant?
0:00:34 > 0:00:38People are just flinging meat all over the place.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40It's really...overwhelming.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Will anyone have an appetite for the work?
0:00:42 > 0:00:44They look really scared but they don't look like
0:00:44 > 0:00:46they know what's happening.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48This is what our burgers are. That's our burger right there.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Today we are in the middle of nowhere...
0:00:58 > 0:01:01It looks like what you would expect in, like, cowboy films.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05..in the Mato Grosso Do Sul, Brazil's agricultural heartland.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09- It certainly looks different, doesn't it, to back home?- Yeah.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Doesn't look very alive. It looks pretty dead.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16'But this remote wilderness is where they'll be working.'
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Our five kids will be spending some time in a ranch,
0:01:19 > 0:01:23alongside cowboys, where they'll be trying to get to grips with
0:01:23 > 0:01:26some of the cattle used in Brazil's booming beef industry.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28CATTLE MOO
0:01:28 > 0:01:29THEY CHEER
0:01:31 > 0:01:35'First up, it's time to meet the owner of the farm, Andre.'
0:01:35 > 0:01:39OK, guys. The boss is en route. He's on his way.
0:01:39 > 0:01:40Here he comes.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42THEY CHEER AND LAUGH
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Here's your boss.
0:01:44 > 0:01:45Hello.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Hello, guys.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49- ALL: Hello. - Andre, how are you?
0:01:49 > 0:01:53Welcome to the Nossa Senhora das Gracas farm.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Here, we work to produce the natural...
0:01:56 > 0:02:00and best beef to send to Europe.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04Now, let's look the cattle, all right?
0:02:04 > 0:02:06- All right.- Come on.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09That's the cattle coming out now.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12They got funny humps on their neck.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16'The cows are a tough breed called Nelore.'
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Are the cattle dangerous?
0:02:19 > 0:02:23Well...that cattle is...500kg.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Are you think they dangerous?
0:02:27 > 0:02:28Yes, they dangerous.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32OK, guys, let's go to the first job.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37'It's the first opportunity to impress the boss.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41'The kids will be working with his prize assets...his cattle.'
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Wow, they're waiting for us.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47'Brazil is the world's biggest exporter of beef.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51'There are around 250 million cows in the country.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54'And looking after them is physical and demanding work.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00'Will our kids be able to handle the herd?'
0:03:00 > 0:03:03OK, your first job in the farm
0:03:03 > 0:03:07is to fill up the trough.
0:03:07 > 0:03:12So, they have to fill up the entire trough with food for the cattle?
0:03:12 > 0:03:13Yes.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15'The trough is over 100m long.'
0:03:15 > 0:03:17All of it?
0:03:17 > 0:03:18Yeah!
0:03:18 > 0:03:21- It's a big trough. - ALL: Yeah...
0:03:21 > 0:03:24You can't even see the bottom clearly, like,
0:03:24 > 0:03:27- it just goes on forever.- Yes.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31'Feeding the cows is one of the most important jobs on the farm.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33'They need to be at maximum weight before they are sold
0:03:33 > 0:03:37'and they are worth around £500 each.'
0:03:37 > 0:03:39So, no laziness, no moaning, no bickering.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41You've got to work together as a team.
0:03:41 > 0:03:42Let's begin.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46'The group has been split into two teams.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49'Olly and Mali are removing the old food from the trough
0:03:49 > 0:03:52'and taking it to the sheep.'
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Oh, the sheep are in the way. Sheep!
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Go, go, go.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59It's hard work, this.
0:03:59 > 0:04:00Let's go, let's go.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04'Kassia, Michael and Rhianna are in charge of fetching the new feed.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07'The cows are being fed a special mix that helps them gain weight,
0:04:07 > 0:04:10'but the recipe is not impressing Michael.'
0:04:10 > 0:04:14It's just sweetcorn and sticks put in with loads of random stuff,
0:04:14 > 0:04:17like hay...I saw a peg in there...
0:04:17 > 0:04:20'The cows love this food and the kids will have to move quickly
0:04:20 > 0:04:22'to fill up the trough for them.'
0:04:22 > 0:04:24It's so hard.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27We've only done about five to six metres and I'm already shattered.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30'It's gruelling work, but competitive Kassia is on a mission.'
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Let's go, guys! Who's coming? Rhianna?
0:04:33 > 0:04:35I'll come with you.
0:04:35 > 0:04:40'Back in the UK, dance champion Kassia is used to being number one.'
0:04:40 > 0:04:43If I came home from a competition without any trophies, then
0:04:43 > 0:04:45I would feel quite disappointed in myself.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49It's not about taking part, it's about winning.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51I will be quite competitive when I get out there
0:04:51 > 0:04:54and I will want to win, like, most of the challenges.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58'And, so far, she has been promoted in every factory in Brazil.'
0:04:58 > 0:05:01- Congratulations, you are promoted. - Yes!
0:05:01 > 0:05:03- You're promoted. - Thank you!
0:05:03 > 0:05:05- Promoted. - Thank you!
0:05:05 > 0:05:08'And now she has her sights set on a fourth.'
0:05:08 > 0:05:11If I didn't get promoted today, I'd feel really gutted.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Kassia is, like, the top person in the group.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16She's, like, the one person that everyone wants to try and beat.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Kassia is way too confident at times.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23I think, today, Kassia should be demoted or fired,
0:05:23 > 0:05:25just so she knows how it feels.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28'It's not just Kassia hoping to make a big impression.
0:05:28 > 0:05:29HE YELLS
0:05:29 > 0:05:32'So are the boys.'
0:05:32 > 0:05:33I think me and Mali are doing quite well.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36We're going quite fast...
0:05:36 > 0:05:37and we're working as a team.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40'Olly is yet to be promoted in Brazil.'
0:05:40 > 0:05:43I think I'm going to get promoted and I'm going to focus
0:05:43 > 0:05:45and, hopefully, I'll do it.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50'And Michael has an even bigger point to prove.'
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Right, so, Kassia goes backwards and forwards,
0:05:53 > 0:05:56I go down with Kassia now and I'll quickly shovel it in.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58- Go, go.- Just go!
0:06:00 > 0:06:03'So far, his work record has been disastrous.'
0:06:03 > 0:06:04You look lazy.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07I'm sick of it. Absolutely sick of it.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10'He has been demoted twice.'
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Michael wasn't very good.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15- You don't even have to say anything. - You are demoted.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18'And, at the last factory, it got even worse.'
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Who's fired?
0:06:20 > 0:06:22- Michael. - THEY LAUGH
0:06:23 > 0:06:25'But this seems to be a new Michael.'
0:06:25 > 0:06:29You know how hard it is to manoeuvre with a wheelbarrow?
0:06:29 > 0:06:34Michael's doing excellent, bless him. He's proper trying.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36- Come on, Michael!- Come on!
0:06:36 > 0:06:38He's proper getting into it, running around, so,
0:06:38 > 0:06:40I think it's really good.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Our five are working amazingly well
0:06:42 > 0:06:45and I'm so proud of how much effort they seem to be putting in,
0:06:45 > 0:06:48but this task has only just started and they have got
0:06:48 > 0:06:49a long, long way to go.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53'And that's not the only problem.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55'The cows have started eating the food faster than
0:06:55 > 0:06:57'the kids can bring it.'
0:06:57 > 0:06:58They're getting closer.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Because they hungry.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05'The boss is trying to fatten them up, but the trough is nearly empty.'
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Hello, team.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11'And now he wants a word with the group.'
0:07:11 > 0:07:13You need to start again.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16- THEY GASP - Yes, look here.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18You were good, but you were slow.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22The cows are used to having the food a lot quicker, so you just have to
0:07:22 > 0:07:25go back from where you began and refill everything.
0:07:25 > 0:07:26- Why?- What?
0:07:26 > 0:07:29I am not impressed whatsoever, at all.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32It's just the reality of working in Brazil on a farm.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36Come on, Michael, come on! Show me that enthusiasm.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Come on, Michael. Like you were in the beginning.
0:07:39 > 0:07:40How can I be enthusiastic now?
0:07:42 > 0:07:43Honestly, it's pathetic.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46You don't understand how much my back's hurting.
0:07:46 > 0:07:51'It's bad news for the kids, but how will they react to the setback?'
0:07:51 > 0:07:54I'm feeling quite angry, but I think we still need to all try
0:07:54 > 0:07:56and I think we might be able to do it.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Finish our task.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Never start something if you're not going to finish it.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04I'm fuming. Absolutely fuming.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08All our hard work has gone to nothing.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Right, come on, positive attitude. Positive attitude.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Positive attitude, Rhianna?
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Upwards is the way.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16At the moment, it seems like we're going downwards.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Michael, honestly, you just try, otherwise
0:08:22 > 0:08:23you're not going to get anywhere.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26I've been demoted twice, I've been fired,
0:08:26 > 0:08:28I don't see the point of trying any more.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32Come on, please, for us. For us. Please, Michael, come on.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34If I get demoted, I won't be happy.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37'Eventually, Michael is coaxed back to work.'
0:08:37 > 0:08:38Come on.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45'Everyone has reacted very differently to the challenge.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48'But now the boss needs the two best workers to help him
0:08:48 > 0:08:50'with another tough job.'
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Well. Good job.
0:08:52 > 0:08:53Thank you.
0:08:53 > 0:08:58He's very happy with all of your work, but two of you have shone.
0:08:58 > 0:08:59Who are those two?
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Well, Kassia, please,
0:09:02 > 0:09:05and Olly.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07THEY SQUEAL
0:09:07 > 0:09:08Oh! Oh!
0:09:09 > 0:09:12All right, all right, all right! Please, please, please!
0:09:12 > 0:09:14So, do you two want to follow us?
0:09:14 > 0:09:16We'll show you where you're going to be working.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18See you guys soon.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20'Olly is thrilled he has his first promotion
0:09:20 > 0:09:23'and Kassia has bagged her fourth.'
0:09:23 > 0:09:26- Come on.- 'But, once again, Michael has missed out.'
0:09:26 > 0:09:29I'm really annoyed. I am pleased that I made an effort,
0:09:29 > 0:09:32but, to be honest, now, I don't think it was worth it.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Don't worry.
0:09:34 > 0:09:35I think you performed so well
0:09:35 > 0:09:37and you should be proper proud of yourself,
0:09:37 > 0:09:40cos you know I'd tell you if I thought you did rubbish.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42- Yeah, you would.- Exactly.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Yeah, I'll get on with it, then. Carry on.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48# We're all gonna do this together. #
0:09:48 > 0:09:51'Over in the horses' stables, the boss has another physical task
0:09:51 > 0:09:53'for his two hardest workers.'
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Come on, please.
0:09:55 > 0:09:56Okey-dokey.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59OK, boss, so, very simply,
0:09:59 > 0:10:01can you tell our two what they need to do next?
0:10:01 > 0:10:06Well, guys, your job is clean the horse stable.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Right? Congratulations.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10BOTH: Thank you.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12So, you've got to get yourself in that box, clean out all the poo,
0:10:12 > 0:10:16all the dirt, all the filth, and this has got to be left spotless.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19- OK.- I know it doesn't sound like an obvious promotion,
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- but you're now in the stables, which is a step up.- Yeah.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26All right, let's do this. Oh, it stinks in here.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29I was expecting driving a tractor or something.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33I wasn't really expecting...shovelling up poo.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37'It's a mucky task, but, as usual, Kassia gets stuck in.'
0:10:37 > 0:10:41This isn't the promotion I expected, but I used to do horse riding
0:10:41 > 0:10:44when I was younger and I used to have to do it all the time, anyway.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47'And nothing can ruin the moment for Olly.'
0:10:47 > 0:10:50So, Olly, how does it feel to be promoted for the first time?
0:10:50 > 0:10:51So good.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53- Are you glad?- Yeah.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55- Last one?- Yeah.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00- It smells delicious!- I know!
0:11:00 > 0:11:04'As Olly and Kassia finish up at the stables...
0:11:04 > 0:11:07'Michael and Rhianna are on their way to meet a family
0:11:07 > 0:11:09'who live and work on the farm...'
0:11:09 > 0:11:11- Hello.- Hello.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14'..15-year-old Paola...
0:11:14 > 0:11:16'her mum, Nena, the farm cook...
0:11:16 > 0:11:18'and father Paolo, who is a farmhand.'
0:11:18 > 0:11:20SHE SPEAKS PORTUGUESE
0:11:20 > 0:11:23'Paola's keen to show the kids her bedroom.'
0:11:23 > 0:11:25It's really nice in here.
0:11:25 > 0:11:26We have similar bedrooms.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30I have loads of pictures of me and my friends on my wall, too.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Ah, sim.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35'After school, Paola works for four hours a day on the farm.'
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Who pays for your things?
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Do your mum and dad buy you everything?
0:11:39 > 0:11:42- TRANSLATION:- No, I pay for it.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44I bought the mirror and the wardrobe,
0:11:44 > 0:11:46I buy all my stuff.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50You had to buy your own wardrobe and carpet?
0:11:50 > 0:11:52No way.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Obviously, you work hard to get your stuff in your bedroom.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57I've never worked in my life.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59- TRANSLATION:- When I come back from school,
0:11:59 > 0:12:01I look after the house,
0:12:01 > 0:12:03I wash the dishes, I do everything, and then,
0:12:03 > 0:12:09over the weekend, I help my mum cooking lunch.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13I won't do any chores. It's for my mum to do.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17One day, my mam told me to mow the lawn
0:12:17 > 0:12:22and I told her that it was her grass so she had to do it herself.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26- TRANSLATION:- No. I would never talk back to my mum like that
0:12:26 > 0:12:30and I never intend to, because I don't want to see her reaction.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32'The kids may be laughing,
0:12:32 > 0:12:34'but, before Michael and Rhianna leave,
0:12:34 > 0:12:37'mum Nena stops them for a word.'
0:12:37 > 0:12:41- TRANSLATION:- Can I be honest?
0:12:41 > 0:12:46From the little I heard of you talking, you seem spoiled.
0:12:46 > 0:12:51You have things very easy for you. Here, things are very different.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54We teach them to work to get what they want.
0:12:54 > 0:12:59I feel really, like, lazy, cos my mum does everything for me.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01When I go back home, hopefully
0:13:01 > 0:13:05I'll do better and I'll help my mam.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09- TRANSLATION:- You can only gain from that.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13You have to do it, not just say it.
0:13:13 > 0:13:14Keep your word.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17You have to keep your word.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20'I feel like I've had a proper telling off, though, by her mum.'
0:13:20 > 0:13:23I was so speechless at one point.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Nice meeting you.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27I didn't know what to say because she was just totally honest.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30She definitely got her point across to me, like,
0:13:30 > 0:13:32- I understand where she's coming from now.- Of course.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38'Now they have seen all sides to this farm,
0:13:38 > 0:13:41'I have some news for them about tomorrow.'
0:13:41 > 0:13:45OK, team, first day over. First day at the farm finished.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47The day has been perfect on the farm.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50It's the first time that we all put, like,
0:13:50 > 0:13:52our heart and souls into it and really, really tried.
0:13:52 > 0:13:57I'm really glad for Olly and Kassia, again, to be promoted.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00I would have liked to have been, but...yeah.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Now, I know you've all had a really enjoyable experience here,
0:14:03 > 0:14:07but tomorrow we are not going to be coming back to the farm.
0:14:07 > 0:14:08No!
0:14:08 > 0:14:10- Why?- Why not?
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Tomorrow, I'm going to be bringing you all to an abattoir.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Isn't that where they kill the animals?
0:14:15 > 0:14:17It's a slaughterhouse.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19- THEY GASP - It's horrible! It's cruel.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22We all eat burgers, we all love meat.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26Maybe it's worth seeing how it gets on your plate.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28I was looking forward to coming back here.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31'The kids are shocked. Tomorrow, they will be seeing
0:14:31 > 0:14:33'a very different side to the beef industry.'
0:14:39 > 0:14:41'It's the morning of day two.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45'Yesterday, our five got to grips with cows on a cattle farm.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50'Today, they will be working in a meat processing factory,
0:14:50 > 0:14:51'handling raw meat.'
0:14:53 > 0:14:58This place is where they kill and process between 300 and 500 cows
0:14:58 > 0:15:00every single day.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03This really could be a massive shock to the system.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08Every year, 40 million cows are killed and processed
0:15:08 > 0:15:10in factories just like this one.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14The various cuts of beef end up in restaurants,
0:15:14 > 0:15:17shops and supermarkets all around the world.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19It's a messy business
0:15:19 > 0:15:21and I'm hoping our kids are cut out for the work.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24'Before we head into the factory,
0:15:24 > 0:15:29'the kids have asked boss Andre to take them to see the cattle.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31'It couldn't feel more different from the farm
0:15:31 > 0:15:34'and Kassia is already on edge.'
0:15:34 > 0:15:36- It's not something you see every day, is it?- No.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38So, it is a bit difficult.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42- That one escaped...- You just... - KASSIA GROANS
0:15:42 > 0:15:44- You OK, Kass?- Yeah.
0:15:44 > 0:15:45You all right?
0:15:46 > 0:15:48CATTLE MOO LOUDLY
0:15:49 > 0:15:52'And then a worker comes to take the cows inside.'
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Move! Down here!
0:15:55 > 0:15:57CATTLE MOO LOUDLY
0:16:02 > 0:16:04They shout at them.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08'The kids are shocked and, for Kassia, it's all become a bit much.'
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Well, they look really scared, but they don't look like
0:16:11 > 0:16:13they know what's happening.
0:16:13 > 0:16:14Is that what's upset you?
0:16:14 > 0:16:18- You think they don't know what's about to happen?- Yeah.
0:16:18 > 0:16:19So, you feel sorry for them?
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Seeing all the cows and just watching them
0:16:23 > 0:16:25go into that corridor thing...
0:16:25 > 0:16:29I don't want to cry, though. I don't even know why I'm crying.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33Kassia, don't be ridiculous. Listen, you're so brave to be here
0:16:33 > 0:16:35to even try and understand how this all works.
0:16:35 > 0:16:41I think this is part of our relationship with the animals.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45We take care of them, they have a good life.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47The way I think about it is like sheep and cows
0:16:47 > 0:16:51are there for us to eat, so if we didn't eat them
0:16:51 > 0:16:54then they wouldn't, sort of, exist.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56All right, Kass, give us a cuddle.
0:16:56 > 0:16:57I can guarantee their welfare.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03I think this is the biggest shock I've had since coming to Brazil.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07This is what our burgers are. That's our burger right there.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10I just think, "Oh, you get it from a butcher's..."
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Done, on your plate - roast dinner.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14I never knew it was like this.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17'In this factory, the cows are killed instantly
0:17:17 > 0:17:22'and as humanely as possible under the supervision of a vet.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25'The kids won't be seeing that, but things are going to get tougher.'
0:17:25 > 0:17:28- You going to be all right to go in there?- ALL: Yeah.
0:17:28 > 0:17:29OK. Come on, then.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33'They are about to start work in the meat processing plant.'
0:17:34 > 0:17:35- ANDRE:- Let's do this.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38THEY GROAN
0:17:38 > 0:17:40OK, guys.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Ugh!
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Everyone is so bloody on their T-shirts.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59- Have you ever seen anything like this in your entire life?- No.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05'Every month, around 10,000 cows are processed here in the factory.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11'The room is freezing and the work is mucky.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15'How will our kids cope?'
0:18:17 > 0:18:20OK, tell me very honestly how we're all feeling.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23People are just flinging meat all over the place
0:18:23 > 0:18:26and meat's flying about and it's really...overwhelming.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29Kassia, tell me how you're feeling.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31I feel sick, but I'm still going to try my hardest.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33I don't want to waste the meat
0:18:33 > 0:18:35otherwise the cow has been killed for no reason.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39'All the meat is processed by workers on a production line,
0:18:39 > 0:18:41'but, before our kids can join them,
0:18:41 > 0:18:44'boss Andre wants to see who is up for the job.'
0:18:44 > 0:18:48OK, guys, so in front of you is the meat that you'll be working with
0:18:48 > 0:18:50for your first task at the abattoir.
0:18:50 > 0:18:56And now I show you the different cuts of meats.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59'The kids each have to find six different pieces of steak,
0:18:59 > 0:19:03'decide what cuts they are and bag and label them.'
0:19:03 > 0:19:07First, the boss shows them what each cut looks like.
0:19:07 > 0:19:08Filet mignon.
0:19:08 > 0:19:09Filet mignon.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11'If they can prove they can handle the meat,
0:19:11 > 0:19:14'they will be allowed to join the production line.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17'Like other workers in the factory, they must learn to pick up
0:19:17 > 0:19:20'the meat with clean, bare hands.'
0:19:20 > 0:19:25I don't love it, but you're just going to have to get used to it.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28I'm trying to think of it more as meat than an animal.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31'First up, thermal jackets,
0:19:31 > 0:19:32'and then the task begins.'
0:19:32 > 0:19:34So, you're going to get going.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44I couldn't imagine being in here every day. It's just disgusting.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48'No-one likes it, but Michael and Rhianna aren't even trying.'
0:19:48 > 0:19:50I don't really want to touch it...
0:19:50 > 0:19:54because we saw them alive and now they're dead.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57I actually don't even know which one's which,
0:19:57 > 0:19:59so I'll just probably stick any label on any bit of meat.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01I couldn't care less.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05'Despite Kassia's earlier upset, she is powering on through.'
0:20:05 > 0:20:07I think I'm doing really well,
0:20:07 > 0:20:11considering how I was this morning. I'm just trying to get on with it.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14So, our team have just started and it's a very mixed bag.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Kassia is telling herself this hasn't come from an animal.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Olly seems to be getting stuck in,
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Michael and Rhianna don't want to touch the raw meat,
0:20:22 > 0:20:25and Mali seems quite calm about the whole thing.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28- Go in! - I'm putting my last meat in my bag.
0:20:28 > 0:20:33'20 minutes in, Olly and Kassia have already found their six cuts.'
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Andre, I've finished.
0:20:35 > 0:20:36Ohh, good.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41I tried to do the job as fast as I could,
0:20:41 > 0:20:44so I didn't have to keep on touching the meat.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47'But Michael and Rhianna are still struggling.'
0:20:47 > 0:20:50I haven't even touched any meat yet.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54'Rhianna has developed an unusual technique for handling the meat.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58'And Michael is only just getting to grips with his first piece.'
0:20:58 > 0:21:00I don't like this job at all.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Worst one yet.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05'And, after missing out, on a promotion yesterday,
0:21:05 > 0:21:07'he isn't in the mood for the job.'
0:21:07 > 0:21:09It's any random sticker, hoy it in the bag.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11Couldn't care less what meat it is.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15One...
0:21:15 > 0:21:17I'm done. That's mine. I'm done.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19What you up to, Michael?
0:21:19 > 0:21:22I don't understand it at all. It's too complex.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25I wouldn't bring you in here if I didn't think you were capable.
0:21:27 > 0:21:28This is something you can do.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32You just need to try a bit harder and have a better attitude.
0:21:32 > 0:21:33'If Michael doesn't finish,
0:21:33 > 0:21:37'he won't be allowed to join the production line.'
0:21:37 > 0:21:39This is a picanha. So, have you got your sticker?
0:21:39 > 0:21:43You know, it's frustrating when you say you can't do this, cos you can.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45You can do it really well.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48'But, with a bit of a helping hand, he manages to wrap up the job.'
0:21:50 > 0:21:52I didn't get on very well with the first task.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55I had a really bad head so I just tried to get it over and done with.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58I thought yesterday he's changed...
0:21:58 > 0:21:59but he hasn't.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02He gives up on himself and that's what Michael always does,
0:22:02 > 0:22:05but he shouldn't, cos if he didn't give up and didn't think,
0:22:05 > 0:22:09"Oh, I can't do this," then he'd actually be quite good, I think.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13'After a quick scrub-down, it's back inside.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15'Michael may have struggled earlier,
0:22:15 > 0:22:18'but, by the end, he did complete the job.'
0:22:20 > 0:22:22'So, the boss has decided to give them ALL a chance to
0:22:22 > 0:22:27'work on the real production line alongside the experienced workers.'
0:22:28 > 0:22:31I've got three behind me and they're packing the raw meat.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35And then we've got Mali and Olly vacuum-packing.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38The most important thing is that they all keep up with
0:22:38 > 0:22:41all the other workers here in the abattoir.
0:22:41 > 0:22:42'Rhianna, Kassia and Michael
0:22:42 > 0:22:44'have to grab the meat from the conveyor belt,
0:22:44 > 0:22:46'label it correctly and bag it.'
0:22:48 > 0:22:51It's quite fast and you've got to keep up with everyone.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54'While Olly and Mali vacuum-pack the bagged-up meat
0:22:54 > 0:22:57'using a specialist machine.'
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Three, two, one...
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Three, two, one...
0:23:07 > 0:23:09'It's a fast and furious pace
0:23:09 > 0:23:12'and I'm hoping Michael will give it his all.'
0:23:12 > 0:23:17This is your last chance to prove yourself in this factory.
0:23:17 > 0:23:18Yeah?
0:23:18 > 0:23:21- Three, two, one... - 'Olly and Mali are trying,
0:23:21 > 0:23:24'but they are finding the vacuum packing machine difficult.'
0:23:24 > 0:23:26It's not done. Do it again.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29'They are not sealing the bags properly
0:23:29 > 0:23:31'and the meat is piling up.'
0:23:31 > 0:23:34It's really important that you speed up.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36It still needs to be done correctly,
0:23:36 > 0:23:38but it needs to be done a lot quicker.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41'But, back on the meat conveyor belt,
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Kassia and Rhianna are flying.'
0:23:43 > 0:23:46I have sort of got used to handling meat now.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48It's going good. We are keeping up.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50I'm finding it quite easy,
0:23:50 > 0:23:53even though, on the production line, we've got to keep up with the speed.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Thank you.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58'And soon Olly and Mali have got the hang of the machine.'
0:24:00 > 0:24:02YES!
0:24:02 > 0:24:05I think me and Mali are getting on quite well
0:24:05 > 0:24:07and we're doing it quite fast.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10I'm really enjoying the abattoir.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16'And, for the first time, Michael is keeping up with the pace.'
0:24:22 > 0:24:27Michael got off to a very slow start again, but you see he has improved.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30I think he has improved.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34'With the whole team finishing on a high...'
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Three, two, one...go!
0:24:36 > 0:24:39'..the boss calls an end to the shift.'
0:24:39 > 0:24:42- Hey!- Hey!- OK, guys.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44- Finished. - I've got some good news.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47We're heading back to the farm to talk about how you got on
0:24:47 > 0:24:50over the last couple of days. Yeah? OK.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54'Back at the farm, it's time to find out
0:24:54 > 0:24:57'if anyone's done enough to take home a wage.'
0:24:58 > 0:25:01OK, so how we all feeling? We're back at the farm...
0:25:01 > 0:25:03I'm happy to be back at the farm,
0:25:03 > 0:25:06because this is where I got my first promotion.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09- Do we all prefer it to the abattoir? - ALL: Yes! Definitely.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11I think you all did amazingly well
0:25:11 > 0:25:13and I was very proud.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16Andre is going to talk through
0:25:16 > 0:25:19how he feels the last couple of days have gone.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23Kassia, you are so fast...
0:25:23 > 0:25:25but sometimes you are too fast.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29- All right? - Yeah, I definitely agree with that.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31I think, sometimes, I go a bit too fast.
0:25:31 > 0:25:37You have, Olly, a good attitude and always you are enthusiastic.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39It's very good, this.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43Michael, yesterday you were fast and strong.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45I nearly promoted you, yesterday.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48I nearly promoted you.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50But, today...
0:25:50 > 0:25:54you don't stay in the focus.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Do you understand?
0:25:56 > 0:25:58- Yeah.- I don't know why.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00I mean, today, I think I let myself down a bit,
0:26:00 > 0:26:03but I was really proud of myself yesterday.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06Well, Andre you have seen our five in action
0:26:06 > 0:26:09over the last couple of days.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Would you employ Kassia?
0:26:11 > 0:26:12Yes.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Thank you.
0:26:15 > 0:26:16Mali?
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Yes.
0:26:18 > 0:26:19THEY LAUGH AND CHEER
0:26:21 > 0:26:22Olly?
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Yes.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Yay! Woo-hoo!
0:26:26 > 0:26:27Rhianna?
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Yes.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Yes, Rhianna, yes!
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Would you employ Michael?
0:26:38 > 0:26:39Yes, Michael.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41THEY CHEER
0:26:41 > 0:26:42Excellent!
0:26:43 > 0:26:45What a surprise!
0:26:45 > 0:26:47- So, 40 for you, Michael.- Thank you.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49'At last, Michael has earned a wage.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53'And it's a clean sweep for our five.'
0:26:53 > 0:26:54- ALL: Thank you.- Thank you so much.
0:26:57 > 0:26:58Before we leave the farm,
