29. The Village of Korah - A short documentary
1 year ago
YEAR: 2010
SYNOPSIS
A short documentary that explores the current state of one of Ethiopia's poorest villages, the village of Korah and the challenges the people there face every day.

ABOUT KORAH
The village of Korah is a small village just outside Addis Ababa, the capitol city of Ethiopia. The village was founded over seventy five years ago by people inflicted with leprosy, seeking treatment in Addis. Three generations later, over 100,000 people live in Korah, most of whom have leprosy, HIV/AIDS, are widows or orphans. Their extreme poverty has forced many of the villagers to forage through a local trash dump to find enough food to survive each day.

    It feels so wrong to "like" this video, but I did it anyways. I'm going as a videographer to Mozambique at the end of April with World Vision, and this video helped give me some inspiration. Thank you.
