Mustapha's Strength
"Mustapha's Strength" tells the story of Mustapha Massaquoi. Born and raised in Sierra Leone, West Africa, Mustapha, whom after losing his wife to ebola and himself barely surviving, works tirelessly as a humanitarian to those most in need in his community.
I directed and edited this video to, through Mustapha's personal story, showcase how The Tzu Chi Foundation works with local leaders on the ground to help bring aid to communities in need.
This production involved working with fixers, constantly adjusting our schedule in real time, and above all telling the story in collaboration with Mustapha to tell his story with dignity.
