I came across this amazing documentary and story yesterday. The story documents photographer, Joey L, and his return to Ethiopia to give back to the subjects of his photography what was rightfully theirs - their photographs. He visited remote villages and captured the unique traits of each of the tribes, the personality of the people.
Below is the trailer for the documentary, but also take time to read his summary of the project here. It captures the essence of Addis Ababa and the beauty of the people combined with the hard realities of life there for so many.
He even talked about exchanging money on the black market, something that we did our first trip back in 2007 as well, although unknowingly until we were in the middle of it.
Enjoy and thank you Joey L. for capturing the essence of these tribes for today, and for future generations.
