0:00:02 > 0:00:03Last time on Show Me What You're Made Of...

0:00:03 > 0:00:06Oh, my days!

0:00:06 > 0:00:11..Ellie, Alice, Sam, Faith and Joe started their first job in Cambodia.

0:00:12 > 0:00:15They joined the workforce in a massive bag factory.

0:00:15 > 0:00:18And go straight. Stop.

0:00:18 > 0:00:21On the stitching lines, Faith got competitive.

0:00:21 > 0:00:23I'm really happy cos it looks like one of the professional ones.

0:00:23 > 0:00:25- And Ellie failed.- I'm bored now.

0:00:25 > 0:00:27- You're bored?- I can't do it.

0:00:27 > 0:00:31When they had to live like a local, there was trouble.

0:00:31 > 0:00:33- This is your toilet.- No.

0:00:33 > 0:00:36No, that's going too far.

0:00:36 > 0:00:40Back at the factory, Alice, Joe and Ellie all bagged a wage.

0:00:40 > 0:00:41Congratulations.

0:00:44 > 0:00:46- Today...- Sam, just get in the hole.

0:00:46 > 0:00:50..our team struggle with some of the toughest work there is in Cambodia.

0:00:50 > 0:00:52I actually hate it here.

0:00:52 > 0:00:54Can they come together as a team?

0:00:54 > 0:00:56I'm kind of not liking that side of Faith.

0:00:56 > 0:00:58What do you mean you don't like it?

0:00:58 > 0:00:59Face their fears.

0:01:00 > 0:01:02- So brave.- And me.

0:01:02 > 0:01:05I was thinking I might as well talk to this plank of wood.

0:01:11 > 0:01:15We've left Phnom Penh behind and driven eight hours east

0:01:15 > 0:01:16into the countryside.

0:01:18 > 0:01:22And a quick lunch stop gives our teams a chance to try some

0:01:22 > 0:01:24of the local delicacies.

0:01:24 > 0:01:25Some fried spiders.

0:01:25 > 0:01:27Crickets, I'm guessing.

0:01:27 > 0:01:29- Maybe not. - I can deal with the dead spiders.

0:01:29 > 0:01:31I can't deal with the live ones.

0:01:31 > 0:01:34- Faith, your one's alive!- No!

0:01:35 > 0:01:39Our five clearly don't fancy eating spiders, crickets and grubs,

0:01:39 > 0:01:42but I've got something else that could interest them.

0:01:42 > 0:01:43In the UK alone,

0:01:43 > 0:01:48we enjoy around 70 million cups of coffee every single day,

0:01:48 > 0:01:50making it one of Britain's most loved drinks.

0:01:50 > 0:01:53They are about to discover just how much effort

0:01:53 > 0:01:56goes into producing every single drop.

0:01:56 > 0:01:58I absolutely hate coffee.

0:01:58 > 0:02:00You don't like it?

0:02:00 > 0:02:03The smell, taste, everything. It's just disgusting.

0:02:03 > 0:02:07Alice, the only person who looks more gutted than Ellie is you.

0:02:07 > 0:02:09Farmers. I can't farm.

0:02:09 > 0:02:11What are you most concerned about?

0:02:11 > 0:02:13- Ants.- It is the bugs?

0:02:13 > 0:02:16Yeah. Just biting me.

0:02:16 > 0:02:18Most of them aren't coffee drinkers yet,

0:02:18 > 0:02:19but it is an emerging business here,

0:02:19 > 0:02:22and I know one person who is a big fan.

0:02:22 > 0:02:23I can't go a day without coffee.

0:02:23 > 0:02:25So you drink it every day?

0:02:25 > 0:02:27Every single day.

0:02:27 > 0:02:29That's a lot of caffeine, Sam.

0:02:29 > 0:02:33But he's in good company because coffee shops are springing up

0:02:33 > 0:02:34all over Cambodia.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37And we're headed to a coffee plantation

0:02:37 > 0:02:40in a remote province called Mondulkiri

0:02:40 > 0:02:43to meet their new boss, one of Asia's top baristas.

0:02:43 > 0:02:45Over to Mr Coffee, himself.

0:02:50 > 0:02:54If you could show us first hand what the coffee should look like,

0:02:54 > 0:02:55a perfect cup of coffee?

0:02:55 > 0:03:00Sophorn is from Feel Good Coffee and is a champion barista.

0:03:00 > 0:03:02Before he sets our five to work in the fields,

0:03:02 > 0:03:06he wants them to appreciate how good Cambodian coffee is.

0:03:06 > 0:03:07I like it.

0:03:07 > 0:03:08Too strong.

0:03:10 > 0:03:11That is so nice.

0:03:11 > 0:03:12That's the best coffee ever.

0:03:12 > 0:03:15Ellie, talk to me, what are you thinking?

0:03:15 > 0:03:16Nothing. I just didn't want to try it.

0:03:16 > 0:03:22OK. So all of us bar one have now tasted the coffee.

0:03:22 > 0:03:27Cambodian coffee beans are so highly prized for their delicate flavour,

0:03:27 > 0:03:31they sell for a higher price than coffee from neighbouring countries.

0:03:31 > 0:03:33You understand that the bean is paramount,

0:03:33 > 0:03:35it is so important that it is a quality bean to start with.

0:03:35 > 0:03:39Really try as hard as you possibly can and do him proud.

0:03:39 > 0:03:40OK, let's get a wiggle on.

0:03:42 > 0:03:45You have to be tough to work on a coffee plantation.

0:03:45 > 0:03:48The workers are outside in the blazing hot sun

0:03:48 > 0:03:51and tropical rains all day.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54This entire field is your office.

0:03:54 > 0:03:56- Oh, wow.- Wow.

0:03:56 > 0:04:00Boss Sophorn is starting our teams off picking the delicate beans,

0:04:00 > 0:04:03which at this stage are called cherries.

0:04:03 > 0:04:06The idea today is to pick up the ripe cherry.

0:04:06 > 0:04:07This is the ripe one.

0:04:07 > 0:04:11You see, it's ripe, it's turning a little bit darker.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13It's these dark ones that you're after.

0:04:13 > 0:04:17The aim is to pick as many of these as you possibly can.

0:04:17 > 0:04:19Cool. All right, do you want to grab yourselves a basket?

0:04:19 > 0:04:21OK, guys, off you go.

0:04:22 > 0:04:26Our five pickers will have two hours to pick as many perfectly ripe

0:04:26 > 0:04:30cherries as they can, and the boss will be watching.

0:04:30 > 0:04:33It's absolutely critical they don't damage the cherries

0:04:33 > 0:04:34or pick the wrong ones.

0:04:34 > 0:04:37If they do, they could ruin both the plant and the coffee.

0:04:38 > 0:04:40They're all green.

0:04:40 > 0:04:43- There's, like, none on here. - It's just annoying.

0:04:43 > 0:04:46They were nervous about fried insects at the lunch stop,

0:04:46 > 0:04:48now there are live ones to deal with!

0:04:48 > 0:04:51Oh. There's, like, a perfect one, but it's in a spider web!

0:04:51 > 0:04:54SHE WHINES

0:04:56 > 0:04:57SHE SCREAMS

0:04:57 > 0:05:00- So brave.- A bug just came out.

0:05:00 > 0:05:03- There was a hole in it.- I'm getting so annoyed with these bugs.

0:05:03 > 0:05:06I pick one and there's just a load of animals on it.

0:05:08 > 0:05:10At home in Berkshire,

0:05:10 > 0:05:13the only wild thing about 14-year-old Joe

0:05:13 > 0:05:15is how much he loves technology.

0:05:15 > 0:05:19I do feel like I'm quite addicted to my gadgets.

0:05:19 > 0:05:21Whatever someone else has got is what he wants.

0:05:21 > 0:05:22I really like spending money.

0:05:22 > 0:05:24Joseph likes spending OUR money.

0:05:24 > 0:05:26He doesn't like spending his own money.

0:05:26 > 0:05:29And there's something else he's not keen on.

0:05:29 > 0:05:32Joseph doesn't help me around the house at all.

0:05:32 > 0:05:34I think my parents would like me to do more.

0:05:34 > 0:05:36It is so painful to get him to do anything.

0:05:36 > 0:05:38You have to keep reminding him all the time.

0:05:38 > 0:05:40"Joseph, do this, Joseph, do that."

0:05:40 > 0:05:42I want him to pick his pants up.

0:05:42 > 0:05:45I want him to just make his bed.

0:05:45 > 0:05:49His parents are hoping that Cambodia will open his eyes a little.

0:05:49 > 0:05:53Now that he's 14, I would just like him to start realising that

0:05:53 > 0:05:57it is a lot of effort that happens around him to make the things

0:05:57 > 0:05:59that he takes for granted.

0:06:02 > 0:06:03Back in Cambodia,

0:06:03 > 0:06:07Joe's attitude to a bit of hard work has taken a turn for the better.

0:06:07 > 0:06:11I definitely prefer doing outdoor tasks like this

0:06:11 > 0:06:13because here it is quite open

0:06:13 > 0:06:15and it makes me feel a lot more comfortable.

0:06:15 > 0:06:17But Ellie is having a bad time.

0:06:17 > 0:06:18Just really boring.

0:06:20 > 0:06:23Sore back and just everything is aching.

0:06:23 > 0:06:26The boss, Sophorn, must decide who will be promoted

0:06:26 > 0:06:29and who will be demoted during this job.

0:06:29 > 0:06:31The stakes are high for all of them.

0:06:31 > 0:06:33I'm struggling.

0:06:33 > 0:06:35I don't want to pick the bad ones.

0:06:35 > 0:06:37You have got the heat. You've got the bugs.

0:06:37 > 0:06:39You've got the sharp trees.

0:06:41 > 0:06:42Quality, not quantity.

0:06:42 > 0:06:46The problem is nobody knows what cherries to pick.

0:06:46 > 0:06:47Are they good?

0:06:47 > 0:06:49This is not yet ripe.

0:06:49 > 0:06:54That's not good. If you keep picking up the unripe one and next year,

0:06:54 > 0:06:55the crop would be less.

0:06:55 > 0:06:58- Yes. OK.- With everyone picking the wrong coloured cherries,

0:06:58 > 0:07:01Sophorn does a spot check on all the baskets.

0:07:01 > 0:07:04- So is this all right?- Green one. - Or too light?

0:07:04 > 0:07:06Yes, still too light.

0:07:06 > 0:07:09Just a few that we don't want.

0:07:09 > 0:07:11I didn't want to pick it up.

0:07:11 > 0:07:15While Alice, Faith and Sam are still working out which cherries to pick,

0:07:15 > 0:07:18Ellie and Joe have paired up at the bottom of the field.

0:07:18 > 0:07:19We were wondering,

0:07:19 > 0:07:24we've been working together, so can we combine both of our things

0:07:24 > 0:07:26to make one product for both of us?

0:07:26 > 0:07:29That's a good idea. I'm fine with working together.

0:07:29 > 0:07:32- Thank you.- Thank you. - Thanks very much.

0:07:33 > 0:07:35Oh, my gosh, there's loads!

0:07:35 > 0:07:37- How is it going?- Really good.- Great.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39Oh, my God. WOW!

0:07:39 > 0:07:43We found a little secret place not that the rest of them know.

0:07:43 > 0:07:44We're forming a little alliance.

0:07:44 > 0:07:47When you're in a team, you get so much more done.

0:07:47 > 0:07:50There's two sets of eyes, four sets of hands, no.

0:07:50 > 0:07:53- Four hands.- Four hands, there we go. - Two sets.- Two sets of hands, yeah.

0:07:53 > 0:07:55- All out.- All out!

0:07:55 > 0:07:59- Come on, Joe. - That's a turn up for the books.

0:07:59 > 0:08:03Ellie, who was losing focus, said she wasn't enjoying it,

0:08:03 > 0:08:04seems to have teamed up with Joe.

0:08:04 > 0:08:06He's really enjoying the outdoors vibe

0:08:06 > 0:08:09and that seems to have rubbed off on her.

0:08:09 > 0:08:12I think we definitely hit the jackpot with this tree.

0:08:12 > 0:08:15We've found loads. If we found this tree earlier,

0:08:15 > 0:08:17we could have stayed here for quite a while.

0:08:17 > 0:08:19I think we've got over 200 in here.

0:08:19 > 0:08:21But at the other end of the field,

0:08:21 > 0:08:24teamwork isn't making the dream work.

0:08:25 > 0:08:27Sam, he has been really annoying cos he keeps on cheating and

0:08:27 > 0:08:30stealing my tree. Every time I find a good tree,

0:08:30 > 0:08:34- he's like, "I'm coming over," and then he takes them all.- No, I don't.

0:08:34 > 0:08:37- I keep going on the same tree as you.- You keep on coming over

0:08:37 > 0:08:38and you're stealing my berries.

0:08:38 > 0:08:41So I'm saying, "This tree is awful," so you won't.

0:08:41 > 0:08:43Well, you shouldn't tell me that you found a good tree, then,

0:08:43 > 0:08:46- should you?- I'm not laughing.

0:08:46 > 0:08:48I'm angry.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51The girls have got the hump with Sam because they believe he's following

0:08:51 > 0:08:55them, not finding his own plant and pinching all their berries.

0:08:56 > 0:08:59And Sophorn has spotted the disagreement between them.

0:09:00 > 0:09:02I've not stole out of your basket.

0:09:02 > 0:09:04- That's not cheating.- Oh, I got two.

0:09:04 > 0:09:08Even with time running out, Sam, Alice and Faith continue to bicker.

0:09:08 > 0:09:10Stealing all the berries!

0:09:10 > 0:09:12Two people you've done it to.

0:09:12 > 0:09:14OK, gang. Time.

0:09:14 > 0:09:17Whose pickings are going to pass quality control?

0:09:17 > 0:09:19It is up to the boss.

0:09:21 > 0:09:24OK, so I want to talk about who's going to be promoted

0:09:24 > 0:09:27and who's going to be demoted.

0:09:27 > 0:09:30Sophorn has checked the standard of all the cherries

0:09:30 > 0:09:33and one outshines the others.

0:09:33 > 0:09:35This basket looks really good.

0:09:35 > 0:09:38So uniform - red and dark.

0:09:38 > 0:09:40It might be one basket,

0:09:40 > 0:09:45but it is the work of two people, and both are being promoted.

0:09:45 > 0:09:46Joe and Ellie. Well done.

0:09:49 > 0:09:52You worked as a team.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54That's really good. That's what we are looking for.

0:09:54 > 0:09:56I'm feeling really good.

0:09:56 > 0:10:00I'm feeling really, really happy that we both got promoted together.

0:10:00 > 0:10:03Three of you have been demoted.

0:10:03 > 0:10:07This was the weakest basket, in your opinion.

0:10:07 > 0:10:10Some of the cherries is overripe.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12So, guys, this is Sam's.

0:10:12 > 0:10:14Sam, what happened?

0:10:14 > 0:10:17That's actually really, like, upsetting because coffee

0:10:17 > 0:10:20is like my favourite thing, but I did not know it was like this.

0:10:20 > 0:10:23I didn't know it was grown on trees and things like that.

0:10:23 > 0:10:24Second from last.

0:10:24 > 0:10:26- This is Alice. - It is still a lot of yellow.

0:10:26 > 0:10:29Too many discoloured cherries in here.

0:10:29 > 0:10:33- Yes.- As we were coming to the end and I sort of just rushed it a bit.

0:10:33 > 0:10:35- Panicking?- Yes.- Faith.

0:10:35 > 0:10:37Getting more bright red cherry.

0:10:37 > 0:10:41We find ourselves in a unique situation

0:10:41 > 0:10:43in where one of you is going to

0:10:43 > 0:10:48become the boss of the three demoted individuals.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50And that's because you did so well, Faith.

0:10:50 > 0:10:52So you are in charge...

0:10:52 > 0:10:57- Oh, God.- ..of making sure that Alice and Sam can deliver.

0:10:57 > 0:11:01Sam, how do you feel about your new supervisor, Miss Faith?

0:11:02 > 0:11:04I'm happy, actually.

0:11:04 > 0:11:06Oh, my days!

0:11:06 > 0:11:09Faith as a supervisor!

0:11:09 > 0:11:11- I'll treat you nicely, don't worry. - Oh, please do.

0:11:14 > 0:11:17Our demoted group have had a very small taste of what working in the

0:11:17 > 0:11:19coffee industry in Cambodia is like.

0:11:19 > 0:11:22So I've arranged for them to meet Lo Som,

0:11:22 > 0:11:24who knows the business inside out.

0:11:24 > 0:11:28He lives in this house on the plantation with his wife and family.

0:11:28 > 0:11:32Hello. Hi. Thank you.

0:11:32 > 0:11:37I want them to understand just how hard life can be on a farm.

0:11:37 > 0:11:39How long have you been working here?

0:11:39 > 0:11:42- TRANSLATION: - I have been here over 20 years.

0:11:42 > 0:11:46I planted most of the trees that you see on the plantation.

0:11:46 > 0:11:49And my salary is 900,000 riel a month.

0:11:49 > 0:11:52That's around £170 per month.

0:11:52 > 0:11:54What, kind of, are the bad and the good lengths

0:11:54 > 0:11:56that you go through every day?

0:11:58 > 0:12:00For me, every day is hard.

0:12:03 > 0:12:04It's the nature of the work.

0:12:06 > 0:12:07It is a hard and busy day.

0:12:09 > 0:12:11And we don't get enough breaks.

0:12:11 > 0:12:16It seems that I finish something and then it's time to start again.

0:12:16 > 0:12:19So what do you hope for your children to do in the future?

0:12:21 > 0:12:24Yes, yes. Let me explain.

0:12:24 > 0:12:27I have no other way of making a living.

0:12:27 > 0:12:29I'm not qualified to do any other job.

0:12:29 > 0:12:31But as a parent,

0:12:31 > 0:12:34I have to labour on the fields to make money,

0:12:34 > 0:12:36and I do it to support my children.

0:12:36 > 0:12:38I don't know the future,

0:12:38 > 0:12:41but hopefully they will have better prospects than me.

0:12:45 > 0:12:49It's really sad that I've basically not done a good job

0:12:49 > 0:12:52and he's doing this every day of his life.

0:12:52 > 0:12:56I kind of feel a lot, like, really, really spoilt right now.

0:12:56 > 0:13:00He is here supporting his family with a really low amount.

0:13:00 > 0:13:01See you later. Bye.

0:13:01 > 0:13:04As Sam, Alice and Faith head back,

0:13:04 > 0:13:07they have much to think over before their task tomorrow.

0:13:11 > 0:13:17It is the second day here in rural Cambodia.

0:13:17 > 0:13:20What I'm keen for our five to take from their time here

0:13:20 > 0:13:21is the fact that, you know,

0:13:21 > 0:13:25it isn't just these huge factories with these long production lines

0:13:25 > 0:13:27that keep Cambodia ticking over.

0:13:27 > 0:13:30One of their other main industries is agriculture.

0:13:31 > 0:13:34Coffee boss Sophorn has asked our demoted workers

0:13:34 > 0:13:37to help Lo Som plant new coffee trees.

0:13:38 > 0:13:39Sophorn, what do we have here?

0:13:39 > 0:13:41The coffee plant.

0:13:41 > 0:13:45We need to carry them down to the field, keep going and plant it.

0:13:45 > 0:13:49You heard your boss. Grab some coffee plants and follow him.

0:13:49 > 0:13:54# Hi-ho, hi-ho It's off to work you go! #

0:13:54 > 0:13:58Our teams will be planting the delicate coffee seedlings.

0:13:58 > 0:14:01The first thing, you need to put the dirt into the burrow.

0:14:01 > 0:14:05Sophorn gives them a demo.

0:14:05 > 0:14:06Step like this.

0:14:06 > 0:14:08OK, this is fairly straightforward.

0:14:08 > 0:14:11It just requires hard work.

0:14:11 > 0:14:13Yes? Good old elbow grease, Sam?

0:14:13 > 0:14:14I can't wait to get started(!)

0:14:14 > 0:14:19We've got this entire field that needs planting. Get going.

0:14:19 > 0:14:22Ten tonnes of coffee is produced here every year, and the plants

0:14:22 > 0:14:25must be planted regularly to keep up with demand.

0:14:25 > 0:14:27Right, so let's get cracking.

0:14:27 > 0:14:30Boss Sophorn has appointed Faith supervisor

0:14:30 > 0:14:33so she can make sure the others do a good job.

0:14:33 > 0:14:36Sam, just get in the hole.

0:14:36 > 0:14:39- I am in the hole.- I saw you out.

0:14:39 > 0:14:40That's not...

0:14:40 > 0:14:43Sam, you need to use your feet to pat it down.

0:14:43 > 0:14:44- Look.- What have I done?

0:14:44 > 0:14:46Leaves are coming off the plant.

0:14:46 > 0:14:49Seriously, you need to stop stepping on them and don't pull on it.

0:14:49 > 0:14:51- OK?- Yeah.

0:14:51 > 0:14:55They've only just started and it is a real dressing-down for Sam

0:14:55 > 0:14:56from his supervisor.

0:14:56 > 0:15:02I feel very kind of upset because I don't like being bossed around.

0:15:02 > 0:15:06- Oh, God.- But Alice is really putting in the effort.

0:15:06 > 0:15:11I'm finding it very hard, but I've overcome my fear of, like,

0:15:11 > 0:15:13dirt in my nails.

0:15:13 > 0:15:16So Sam, listen, Alice is on her third

0:15:16 > 0:15:18and you're still on your first.

0:15:18 > 0:15:21This is actually a really hard job.

0:15:21 > 0:15:23And I really didn't want to get dirty.

0:15:23 > 0:15:26I feel like that's why I'm still on my first.

0:15:26 > 0:15:28I know you're panicking about getting your trainers dirty

0:15:28 > 0:15:30- and your hoody.- Yeah.

0:15:30 > 0:15:32But, you know, you're coming to work on a farm.

0:15:32 > 0:15:34You shouldn't be in your best outfit.

0:15:34 > 0:15:36No.

0:15:40 > 0:15:44At home in Liverpool, 13-year-old Sam is absolutely obsessed with...

0:15:44 > 0:15:46Looking gorgeous in front of people.

0:15:46 > 0:15:48If you're meeting someone for the first time,

0:15:48 > 0:15:51you want first impressions to be, like, 100%.

0:15:51 > 0:15:54Sam has a massive collection of trainers.

0:15:54 > 0:15:58His most expensive pair are a whopping £600.

0:15:58 > 0:16:01Clothes are one of the most important things about me.

0:16:01 > 0:16:03I can't wear the same clothes more than once

0:16:03 > 0:16:07because I don't want people to think that I don't have money

0:16:07 > 0:16:09to buy new clothes.

0:16:09 > 0:16:12But his mum thinks he could do with a reality check.

0:16:12 > 0:16:15I think Sam is a very, very spoilt child.

0:16:15 > 0:16:18He hasn't got a clue of the value of money and how much, how hard you

0:16:18 > 0:16:19have got to work to earn it.

0:16:19 > 0:16:23He thinks it must grow on trees.

0:16:23 > 0:16:26But when it comes to mucking in and getting the work done,

0:16:26 > 0:16:28his mum is not sure how he'll cope.

0:16:28 > 0:16:29As for being dirty,

0:16:29 > 0:16:32that will be a bit of an eye opener as well for him.

0:16:38 > 0:16:42Back in Cambodia, Sam is still worried about the mud.

0:16:42 > 0:16:44- What are you on, Sam?- My second one.

0:16:44 > 0:16:48Right, you don't seem to understand the urgency of it.

0:16:48 > 0:16:51You need... Cos they have to do it in rainy season so that they can get

0:16:51 > 0:16:54water. So get your foot in there.

0:16:54 > 0:16:57- OK.- So, Sam, I'm not trying to give you a hard time,

0:16:57 > 0:17:01I'm just genuinely curious, why have you come in your best gear?

0:17:01 > 0:17:05I really don't know. I feel like I've brought all my normal clothes

0:17:05 > 0:17:07here with me. I don't have any old clothes.

0:17:07 > 0:17:10All of it is really expensive and, like, designer and things like that,

0:17:10 > 0:17:13and I don't really want to get it wrecked.

0:17:13 > 0:17:14Look, Alice is covered in mud.

0:17:14 > 0:17:17- She doesn't mind. - Well, I thought I would, but...nah.

0:17:18 > 0:17:21I hope Sam can get his priorities straight soon.

0:17:24 > 0:17:27Up the road, I've sent our promoted pair, Joe and Ellie,

0:17:27 > 0:17:30to do a job with another group of agriculture workers.

0:17:30 > 0:17:33- Hello.- Hello.

0:17:33 > 0:17:36It's a tribe called the Bonang people.

0:17:36 > 0:17:39The Bonang people live entirely off the land

0:17:39 > 0:17:43and their way of life hasn't changed in 2,000 years.

0:17:43 > 0:17:46They are one of ten tribes in the Mondulkiri region

0:17:46 > 0:17:48and depend on their animals and produce they grow

0:17:48 > 0:17:51to feed their families.

0:17:51 > 0:17:53Ganie, one of the tribespeople,

0:17:53 > 0:17:55would like Joe and Ellie to help out...

0:17:55 > 0:17:56- There you go.- Thank you.

0:17:58 > 0:17:59..weeding pumpkins.

0:18:00 > 0:18:03I really like these kind of farming jobs.

0:18:03 > 0:18:06Like, I liked the rice fields

0:18:06 > 0:18:08and I liked the coffee beans yesterday,

0:18:08 > 0:18:10and I'm really enjoying this now.

0:18:10 > 0:18:12Joe is in the thick of it again,

0:18:12 > 0:18:14but Ellie is not happy.

0:18:14 > 0:18:16I don't like the look of it -

0:18:16 > 0:18:19it's all muddy and there's ants everywhere.

0:18:19 > 0:18:22It is so stingy and horrible.

0:18:22 > 0:18:25Ellie, how about we incorporate some of our teamwork again so maybe I'll

0:18:25 > 0:18:28- do the chopping?- It is not my thing.

0:18:28 > 0:18:31Yesterday in the coffee fields, Joe helped Ellie,

0:18:31 > 0:18:34but today he'll have his work cut out.

0:18:34 > 0:18:36Ellie is not moving a muscle.

0:18:36 > 0:18:40How important is it to you, all of this farming?

0:18:40 > 0:18:44Very. This garden provides food for my family.

0:18:44 > 0:18:47What Ellie isn't getting is the fact these vegetables mean the

0:18:47 > 0:18:49difference between eating and going hungry.

0:18:49 > 0:18:51She is still not mucking in.

0:18:51 > 0:18:55This is very much what life would have been like before all of the

0:18:55 > 0:18:56factories came around.

0:18:56 > 0:19:00At home, we'd mainly buy things from a supermarket and we'd never

0:19:00 > 0:19:04really go outside and pick our own crops.

0:19:04 > 0:19:06Before Ellie lifts a finger,

0:19:06 > 0:19:09the heavens open and everyone has to down tools.

0:19:10 > 0:19:11It's raining.

0:19:13 > 0:19:15I absolutely hate it here.

0:19:15 > 0:19:17It is just too wet and muddy.

0:19:19 > 0:19:21It is not very nice when it's raining.

0:19:21 > 0:19:23Ellie is still refuse to go budge,

0:19:23 > 0:19:25but Joe isn't giving up on his team-mate.

0:19:25 > 0:19:27I think she kind of struggled,

0:19:27 > 0:19:29but hopefully...hopefully, knowing Ellie,

0:19:29 > 0:19:31she will get back up and shine.

0:19:33 > 0:19:37I've heard Ellie could do with some motivating, so I've decided to come

0:19:37 > 0:19:39down to the tribe myself.

0:19:39 > 0:19:40We are just in here.

0:19:40 > 0:19:43If I can get Ellie talking to a family here,

0:19:43 > 0:19:45maybe she'll start working like yesterday.

0:19:45 > 0:19:47Nice to meet you. Cool.

0:19:47 > 0:19:50Ganie lives here with her mother

0:19:50 > 0:19:53and 16 other members of her family.

0:19:53 > 0:19:55Altogether, how many children do you have?

0:19:55 > 0:19:57- TRANSLATION:- I have ten children.

0:19:57 > 0:20:01- Wow.- So how many grandchildren would you say you have altogether?

0:20:01 > 0:20:03Altogether, I have 50 grandchildren.

0:20:03 > 0:20:05Five zero?!

0:20:05 > 0:20:08- Wow.- Did you and your family build this house?

0:20:08 > 0:20:11Yes, the whole family built it together,

0:20:11 > 0:20:15but it was hard work and it took us six months to finish.

0:20:15 > 0:20:16Amazing.

0:20:16 > 0:20:2080% of the people in this area are from a tribe, and many live in

0:20:20 > 0:20:24these traditional houses with their extended families.

0:20:24 > 0:20:27Do your kids help you around the house or the farm, and if so,

0:20:27 > 0:20:28what do they do?

0:20:28 > 0:20:31Yes, they help with weeding and farming

0:20:31 > 0:20:34and they can help take care of the animals.

0:20:37 > 0:20:40In our culture, you have to help your family.

0:20:40 > 0:20:43Ganie, you now have two adopted children.

0:20:43 > 0:20:46Anything you need them to do, you just let them know.

0:20:46 > 0:20:50I hope this chat has given Ellie the boost she needs.

0:20:52 > 0:20:55There is one more job to do, and it's even dirtier than the first!

0:20:57 > 0:21:01Feeding the pigs. And finally, Ellie seems to be taking an interest.

0:21:01 > 0:21:03Pigs everywhere!

0:21:03 > 0:21:05Why do pigs look so cool?

0:21:05 > 0:21:07Who wants the leftovers?

0:21:08 > 0:21:10You could obviously see, out of these three, who's boss.

0:21:12 > 0:21:14Go.

0:21:14 > 0:21:18Back on the plantation, it is also very clear that Faith is the boss.

0:21:18 > 0:21:21But motivating Sam is proving harder than she thought.

0:21:21 > 0:21:23It is quite frustrating.

0:21:23 > 0:21:27Alice has been brilliant, but Sam just seems reluctant to do anything.

0:21:28 > 0:21:31Yes, it is a bit difficult being a boss at the moment.

0:21:31 > 0:21:34She is being way too bossy.

0:21:34 > 0:21:36I know she is the supervisor,

0:21:36 > 0:21:40but I'm kind of not liking that side of Faith.

0:21:40 > 0:21:41What do you mean you don't like it?

0:21:41 > 0:21:44If you're doing something wrong, I've got to correct you.

0:21:44 > 0:21:46I can't let you do it wrong.

0:21:46 > 0:21:50I don't even mind if you don't like it because it has to be done.

0:21:50 > 0:21:54How do you think Faith has taken to her new role, Alice?

0:21:54 > 0:21:58I think she has taken the role, like, really well

0:21:58 > 0:22:01because that's probably a role she loves.

0:22:01 > 0:22:04I feel like being a boss isn't all hunky-dory.

0:22:04 > 0:22:07You do have to take in mind that these are your friends

0:22:07 > 0:22:10and you don't want to affect the relationship,

0:22:10 > 0:22:11but at the same time,

0:22:11 > 0:22:13you've got to get the job done,

0:22:13 > 0:22:15so it is quite difficult to keep a balance.

0:22:15 > 0:22:19Oh, dear. Between them, they had 150 plants to dig in

0:22:19 > 0:22:20and they've only managed a handful.

0:22:20 > 0:22:23OK, guys. That's a wrap!

0:22:25 > 0:22:29Sophorn, the boss, has one final task for our five.

0:22:29 > 0:22:31The red outer fruit on the coffee cherries

0:22:31 > 0:22:35has been stripped off and the bean left inside has been dried.

0:22:35 > 0:22:39Now our teams need to sort them into good and bad coffee beans,

0:22:39 > 0:22:40ready for roasting.

0:22:40 > 0:22:42My favourite five.

0:22:42 > 0:22:45Shoes off. Jump in.

0:22:45 > 0:22:49This will be the last chance anyone gets to impress the boss and

0:22:49 > 0:22:51potentially bag themselves a wage.

0:22:51 > 0:22:55So the idea is to sort the bad bean, it tastes sour.

0:22:55 > 0:22:57- So we don't want that. - We don't want sour coffee.

0:22:57 > 0:22:59- Yes.- When you think you've finished,

0:22:59 > 0:23:03call us over and your boss will check through them all.

0:23:03 > 0:23:04Make sense?

0:23:04 > 0:23:09It is a painstaking job and they have an hour before the light goes

0:23:09 > 0:23:11to get through 2kg of beans each.

0:23:11 > 0:23:15OK, good stuff, grab your tray and get going.

0:23:15 > 0:23:16No talking, please.

0:23:18 > 0:23:22After his earlier job in the fields, Sam is just glad they're inside.

0:23:22 > 0:23:26Yeah, I feel like this is more my thing because

0:23:26 > 0:23:29I'm sorting things out and I'm not getting muddy.

0:23:29 > 0:23:31But Ellie is back on a downer.

0:23:31 > 0:23:36Just really boring and it is quite stressful because all these beans,

0:23:36 > 0:23:37they are all different.

0:23:37 > 0:23:40And the complaints just keep coming.

0:23:40 > 0:23:42I just thought they'd grind them all together

0:23:42 > 0:23:44and they would taste the same. It's a bean, for God's sake.

0:23:44 > 0:23:47This is a bit pathetic, to be honest.

0:23:47 > 0:23:52So it sounds like it hasn't taken them very long to get bored.

0:23:52 > 0:23:55They're talking. They were told to stay silent.

0:23:55 > 0:23:58Sometimes it can be quite frustrating -

0:23:58 > 0:24:00information in one ear and out the other.

0:24:02 > 0:24:05After 20 minutes, things haven't improved.

0:24:05 > 0:24:07It is becoming, like, my worst nightmare -

0:24:07 > 0:24:09sitting down, like, not moving.

0:24:10 > 0:24:12- Hello.- Hiya.

0:24:12 > 0:24:14There is a lot of moaning going on.

0:24:14 > 0:24:16Ellie, what are you moaning, girl? Talk to me.

0:24:16 > 0:24:18It's just really boring.

0:24:18 > 0:24:20- Who realistically is going to love doing this?- No-one.

0:24:20 > 0:24:23Very few people, but they get on and they do it.

0:24:23 > 0:24:27If no-one did this, you wouldn't have the coffee back home.

0:24:27 > 0:24:30I'm hoping my chat reminds them that this is what other people do,

0:24:30 > 0:24:32day in, day out.

0:24:32 > 0:24:34Someone just threw it! Stop it!

0:24:36 > 0:24:38Ellie, stop. Ellie, stop it.

0:24:38 > 0:24:40Ellie, stop it.

0:24:42 > 0:24:44It's not going well, is it?

0:24:44 > 0:24:49# Try your best, but you don't succeed. #

0:24:49 > 0:24:53The singing is the last straw for boss Sophorn.

0:24:53 > 0:24:56So we cannot continue, and it's...

0:24:56 > 0:24:58it's already dark now.

0:24:58 > 0:25:02- We must stop.- OK, guys. You're not doing the job well enough.

0:25:02 > 0:25:06We're going to have to stop now. OK? Do you want to follow me?

0:25:06 > 0:25:09Time to find out if anyone will get a wage now.

0:25:11 > 0:25:15I'm going to hand over to Sophorn, and he's going to give you a general

0:25:15 > 0:25:18idea of how he thinks you've done collectively.

0:25:18 > 0:25:21When you're doing a job, you're doing quite well.

0:25:21 > 0:25:24Just a little bit disappointing for the last task.

0:25:24 > 0:25:26It was like it was opposite day.

0:25:26 > 0:25:28It was like I was saying,

0:25:28 > 0:25:31"Guys, don't talk," so you're talking.

0:25:31 > 0:25:34"Don't sing," so you burst into song.

0:25:34 > 0:25:38I was thinking I honestly might as well talk to this plank of wood.

0:25:38 > 0:25:41So I don't want to focus too much on the last task.

0:25:41 > 0:25:43Sophorn, if we could start with Joe.

0:25:43 > 0:25:46I think he is doing really good.

0:25:46 > 0:25:51He had a plan and some ideas and did a really good job.

0:25:51 > 0:25:52Ellie, how has Ellie done?

0:25:52 > 0:25:55The first task, you're doing quite well.

0:25:55 > 0:25:58- How has Alice done?- You tried.

0:25:58 > 0:26:00You really tried. She was doing quite well.

0:26:00 > 0:26:04Faith. Can we talk about Faith?

0:26:04 > 0:26:06You're responsible.

0:26:06 > 0:26:08- I'm quite happy with that. - Thank you.

0:26:08 > 0:26:10Sam, how has Sam done?

0:26:10 > 0:26:14So to start, I was thinking Sam is my boy.

0:26:14 > 0:26:16He really loves coffee. The same as me.

0:26:16 > 0:26:21Sam, I felt like you were going to smash this

0:26:21 > 0:26:24and then as soon as it was time to work, it sort of

0:26:24 > 0:26:26fell apart, in all honesty.

0:26:26 > 0:26:31I was trying, and it may not have been my best, but I still tried.

0:26:31 > 0:26:34Well, we know what comes next.

0:26:34 > 0:26:38We've had a chat. We've had a conversation behind closed doors.

0:26:38 > 0:26:43- Yes.- Four of you are going to receive a wage.

0:26:43 > 0:26:45And I don't know how you've wangled this, by the way.

0:26:45 > 0:26:48You've got the nicest boss in the world cos I wouldn't have paid you.
