Palm bunches that can weigh up to 50 kilograms are no small challenge for workers on oil palm plantations. To overcome this, they rely on a traditional tool called a tojok, which is specially designed to pierce the palm bunches so that they can be lifted without being hit by their sharp thorns. The process is no joke: once the bunches are pierced, the workers lift them onto their shoulders and then push them with all their might up to the level of the truck bed. The scene culminates when the bunches are thrown into the truck bed in what appears to be a feat of strength, creating a scene that is both awe-inspiring and inspiring.
