Sometimes a video is more than just a video

  • FilmAid

Virgin Red Room veterans The Joy Formidable are the inspiration for an incredible new video to mark World Refugee Day.

Watch the moving video for the hit single ‘A Heavy Abacus’ by The Joy Formidable below, directed by award-winning filmmakers Paola Mendoza and Topaz Adizes in honor of World Refugee Day.  

It stars young Sudanese refugees living in the Kakuma Refugee Camp in Northern Kenya and is presented by FilmAid.

If you're interested in finding out more about the project, Russell Simmons wrote a beautiful piece about it over at the Huffington Post.
