Kepha engxenyeni enkulu yempilo yakhe ubelokhu ebhekene nobuhlungu obuhlukile: usizi lokulahlekelwa ngubaba wakhe eneminyaka emithathu kuphela.

USteve Rusch, umshayeli wendiza ye-U.S. Air Force, wadutshulwa emzileni weHo Chi Minh eLaos phakathi neMpi YeVietnam. Indawo yakhe yokuphahlazeka yatholakala ngo-2003, ngawo lowo nyaka indodakazi yakhe yaqala ukuya eVietnam. Ubekhona ngomjaho wokugibela izintaba, ukugibela ibhayisekili, nokuhamba ngesikebhe ehlathini—futhi kwakuqala ngqa ukuthi azibuze ukuthi ingabe yilokhu ubaba wakhe ahlangabezane nakho ngenkathi esebenza.

Lapho umhlahlandlela ekhomba umzila weHo Chi Minh buqamama, uRusch ukhumbula ecabanga, Ngifuna ukuya khona ngelinye ilanga.

Kwathatha eminye iminyaka engu-12 ngaphambi kokuba uRusch abuyele endleleni. Ngo-2015, uRusch wahamba ngebhayisikili amamayela ayi-1 200 eningizimu-mpumalanga ye-Asia ngethemba lokuthola indawo yokushayisa kukayise.

Kodwa kwakuyisici esingokomzwelo salolu hambo esashiya uphawu olungapheli kumuntu oneminyaka engu-48 ubudala.

Ungabuka Umgwaqo Wegazi mahhala ku-Red Bull TV (i-trailer engezansi). Lapha, uRusch uvula mayelana nokuthi lolu hambo lumshintshe kangakanani.

Umumo: Yisiphi isici salolu hambo esasinzima kuwe: ukwenza ngokomzimba noma isici somzwelo?

URebecca Rusch: Ngikuqeqeshele impilo yami yonke ngokugibela okude kanjena. Nakuba kunzima, kuyindawo eyaziwa kakhulu. Kepha ukuvula inhliziyo yakho ngokomzwelo, angikuqeqeshelwanga lokho. Abasubathi (kanye nabantu) baziqeqeshela ukubeka le ngaphandle kanzima futhi bangabonisi ubuthakathaka, ngempela, ngakho lokho bekunzima kimi. Futhi, ngangigibele nabantu ababengabazi ekuqaleni. Angijwayele ukuba sengozini kangaka phambi kwabantu engingabazi. Ngicabanga ukuthi yingxenye yokuthi kungani bekumele ngigibele lawo makhilomitha ayi-1 200 esikhundleni sokuya endaweni yokuphahlazeka ngemoto nokuhamba ngezinyawo. Ngangizidinga zonke lezo zinsuku nawo wonke lawo makhilomitha ukukhumula izingcezu zokuzivikela engazakhela zona.

Umumo: Ukwenza uhambo lomuntu siqu kanjena nomuntu ongamazi kuyingozi enkulu. Kuthiwani uma engakwazi ukuqhubeka? Kuthiwani uma ningazwani? Bekunjani okuhlangenwe nakho kwakho njengokugibela no-Huyen?

RR: Nganginovalo olukhulu ngokugibela nomuntu engingamazi, umuntu olimi lakhe lokuqala kwakungelona elesiNgisi. Kepha engikutholile emkhondweni ukuthi sifana kakhulu kunokuba sihlukile. Kuyena, ukugibela amamayela ayi-1,200 kwakukukhulu ngokuphindwe ka-10 kunami. Umjaho wakhe, noma esemncane, wawude ihora nohhafu. Emzimbeni, nganginguthisha wakhe, ngimbonisa indlela yokusebenzisa i-CamelBak nendlela yokuvivinya, indlela yokusebenzisa ilambu kanye nendlela yokugibela ebusuku, nokuthi angenza okungaphezu kwalokho ayecabanga ukuthi angakwenza. Kodwa ngakolunye uhlangothi, cishe wayekhanyiselwe kakhulu kunami ngokomzwelo, futhi wangiphelezela ngempela waya endaweni entsha engokomzwelo.

Umumo: Izinselelo eziningi zokukhuthazela zimayelana nokufinyelela entanjeni; lolu hambo belumayelana nokufinyelela indawo yokuphahlazeka kwakho. Uzizwe kanjani lapho ufinyelela isayithi uqhathanisa nalapho ufika ekugcineni?

RR: Ukufika kusayithi kwakungicindezela kakhulu emoyeni. Ngijwayele ukwenza izinto ngedwa, ngakho-ke ukusebenza neqembu futhi ikakhulukazi ngizama ukubhala lolu hambo, bekufanele ngihambe ngejubane leqembu. Cishe bekungaba lula ukube ngikwenza ngedwa, ngoba bengingeke ngiboshwe, bengingeke ngiphoqeleke ukuthi ngehlise ijubane-kodwa ngicabanga ukuthi ifilimu noHuyen bangiphoqa ukuthi ngehlise ijubane bekuyisifundo engasithola. okudingekayo ukufunda.

Endaweni yengozi kwakunjengokungathi lesi sisindo esikhulu sisusiwe, njengomgodi engangingazi ukuthi wawukhona ukuphila kwami ​​konke. Ngakho-ke ingxenye yesibili yohambo ibikhuluma kakhulu ngokumunca lokho, futhi ukufika eHo Chi Minh City bekujabulisa kakhulu. Ngagibela ukuyobheka ubaba wami ongasekho, kodwa ekugcineni, umndeni wami ophilayo wawukhona ungilindile futhi ugubha lolu hambo. Kungenze ngabona ukuthi nami ngidinga ukubambelela kulokho, futhi ngibatshele ukuthi ngiyabathanda futhi ngibe sesikhathini nalokho enginakho phambi kwami.

Umumo: Ngabe uzizwa sengathi ukuthole obukufuna?

RR: Abantu abaningi abangakayiboni ifilimu bafana, oh, kufanele ngabe usuvaliwe, kodwa yeka ukuthi kudabukisa kanjani, ngiyaxolisa kakhulu. Kodwa empeleni ngizwa sengathi ifilimu enika ithemba nejabulisayo, ngoba ngaxhumana naye. Uhambile futhi angeke ngikushintshe lokho, kodwa ngizwa sengathi ngibushintshile ubudlelwano enginabo naye manje. Ngokwenza lokho, ngajwayelana nomndeni wami wonke, udadewethu nomama, okungcono, futhi-ngakho-ke kuyisiphetho esijabulisayo, ngombono wami.

Umumo: Ingabe itholen kulula, kusukela uthathe lolu hambo futhi ukhuluma ngokuhlangenwe nakho kwakho, ukuze uvuleke futhi uvikeleke kubantu ongabazi?

RR: Yebo, kodwa hhayi ngoba kulula kimi. Ngifunda ukuthi lapho ngithembeke ngokwengeziwe, kungcono ukuxhumana enginakho nabantu ababuka ifilimu. Ngicabanga ukuthi abantu bacabanga ukuthi umgijimi onzima uzoba namandla kakhulu futhi angalokothi abe nokwesaba noma ukuba sengozini noma akhale noma abe nokuzithemba, kepha ngifunda ukuthi lapho ngivula ngokwengeziwe futhi ngivuma lezo zinto, kulapho abantu bathola amandla kulokho. Esikhundleni sokukugxeka, abantu bazibona bekuwe, futhi ngibona sengathi ukwethembeka kubalulekile ekuxhumaneni kwabantu. Futhi kuyakhathaza ukuzama ukuqina nokuqina ngaso sonke isikhathi.Ukuvumela ukuthi uqaphe futhi uthi, yebo, ngiyesaba noma lokhu kunzima, cishe kunenkululeko ekukuvumeni.

Umumo: Yini elandelayo?

RR: Esinye sezendlalelo ebesingalindelekile salolu hambo bekufunda ngokuthi le mpi eyaphela eminyakeni engama-45 eyedlule isababulala kanjani abantu-kunamabhomu angama-75 wezigidi ezingafakwanga eLaos kuphela. Ngeqiniso ngizizwa sengathi ubaba wami ungilethele lapho ukuze ngisize ekuhlanzeni nasekusizeni ukuthola kabusha i-ordnance engaxhunywanga (UXO). Okuningi kwefayela le- Umgwaqo Wegazi ukuvakasha kwefilimu bekulokhu kuqoqwa ngemali yeMines Advisory Group eLaos egameni likababa wami. Ngiphinde ngabambisana nenkampani yobucwebecwecwe, i-Article 22, eNew York, eyenza amasongo amahle impela avela kusimbi yensimbi yensimbi yamabhomu namabhomu aseLaos asuliwe, futhi ngisiza ukuthengisa amasongo ukwenza imali ebuyela eLaos Hlanza izikhali ezingaqhume ngegama likababa. Futhi-ke futhi ngisingatha uhambo lwentaba ngebhayisikili emuva lapho; Ngikhuluma nje ngilungiselela ukuya kowesibili. Yinto ebengingalindele ukuthi izovela emjahweni wami webhayisikili, futhi iyindlela kimi yokusebenzisa ibhayisikili lami njengemoto yoshintsho. Ukugibela sekuphelile, kepha uhambo lusaqhubeka.
