Welcome back to Stories from Earth, we’ve been busy…

I just got back from Malawi, and I have to share this story with you. We were hired to direct a documentary about a project that is truly changing lives, and I was able to tell it in my own style, focusing on the people, their community, and the incredible impact of generosity.

This film isn’t about anyone’s brand. It’s about a village where small acts of kindness are creating real, lasting change.

The Documentary is OUT NOW, available to everyone on here for Free 🎬 🍿

*Let me know your thoughts in the comment section, so excited for you guys to watch this!

Education, Health, and Community: What is the film about?

For the past three years, donations from Samir through the AIM Foundation have built the heart of Tangozala Village.

Here’s what they’ve created:

• A school giving children their first chance at education.

• A medical center treating malaria and HIV, saving lives.

• A community hall and football pitch where villagers gather, eat, and support each other.

• Clean water flowing from new pumps.

During our visit, we watched children graduate from the school. We met parents, elders, and teachers. We saw lives transformed in real time.

Visiting the Clinic: Battling Malaria & HIV

Malaria is deadly without treatment. With the right medicine, it’s manageable. At the clinic we saw children whose lives were saved because medication reached this remote village. Access to care is transforming this community.

Creating Hope in a Refugee Camp: Feeding 1,000 people

We also visited a refugee camp with survivors of the Rwandan genocide and conflicts in Congo. Over 100,000 people live there with little access to food or water.

We handed out rice, oil, flour, and water to 1,000 of the most vulnerable families. Seeing hope return to their eyes was unforgettable. Small acts can create massive change.

I directed this documentary in my style, capturing the stories of the people whose lives have been transformed. This is a story about community, resilience, and the impact of giving.

What’s Next?

Our Thailand cannabis documentary is still in post-production. We had to pause it briefly to focus on getting the Malawi documentary out, but it’s coming soon — within the next month.

This film tells a personal story about addiction and the booming cannabis industry in Thailand. We explore how local people are adapting to these changes and highlight the human side of an industry in transition.

One of the most incredible people we met is Molly, a breast cancer survivor who started her own cannabis farm to produce CBD oil to ease the pain of chemotherapy. Her story is moving, inspiring, and a window into how passion, healing, and business intersect in unexpected ways.

Look out for this story. We’ll be updating you as it comes together.
