UNHCR x Youtube - The Permaculturist
A powerful original documentary series created by Uncommon & Lief to mark World Refugee Day. Vegan chef, permaculture enthusiast, and YouTuber Gaz Oakley meets permaculture expert Bemeriki Dusabe, a Congolese refugee who has been living in a settlement in Uganda for the last 16 years, where he has set up a foundation teaching others how to grow their food - a testament to the incredible strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity. A poignant film about self-sufficiency, growth, community and connection.
