46:33 Between these disasters East Timor clings to hope for a better life
Only agriculture and fishing allow the inhabitants to earn a few dollars a month. Today, the island is still cut in two with an Indonesian part and the other, independent Timor Leste since 2002. In the most remote villages, the inhabitants live cut off from everything. Only solution, a rocky track often flooded during the rainy season and where the slightest error can be fatal. But survival is at this price and the peasants embark on a long odyssey to sell some vegetables on the market of the capital Dili. After 10 hours of travel, the reward is not always there and there are many disappointments.
