    That was a sad but very powerful lesson in life and karma if you didn’t earn it the correct way then it’s not yours!!!
  • @Atraslin
    Wild story! Ryan played on your minor hockey team in North Van!
  • Finally! A full Banged Up abroad documentary in high quality. Always tired of people uploading videos with broken audio or where there's constant zooming in and out. Hope to see more.

    I was watching this video and then my neighbour came and we watched it together. He said that this video changed his life and touched his heart. I then went and rented a projector in a big field and my entire town watched it and it changed their lives too. We all are so grateful. Thank You for your video's ….

    1,000 to move 20 pounds over the border? That was pennies for the risk.
  • @DabuDave
    dude looks like the Toby the HR guy from the office
  • Great story! I'm glad he changed his life and was able to see his daughter again!! 🥰
  • @scsg11
    I don’t like it when someone basically lays the entire story on blaming parents and friends for one’s actions. They teach this in rehab… bro, it’s just your bad decisions…
  • Wow unbelievable how darkness works what a griping and❤ felt story which could happen to anyone so glad some peace was found in a crazy young life! God bless you Ryan
  • This was the absolute best episode of Locked up Abroad I have watched. Thank you for showing the whole story.
  • @dmbjj1956

  • @DALTONVISION

  • @JohnnyMobutu
    The fact that we get free documentaries on YouTube by National Geographic is truly a gift; keeping the education and entertainment alive. 👍👍👍
  • @willisattack
    lol $1,000 to take 20 lbs across the border sounds like a bad deal to me.
  • @NewYorkJay1982

  • @atmosrepair
