Bappa Shota: YouTuber Reveals the Reality of Dangerous Places
Go undercover with camera in hand in the world's largest refugee camp, a gang-ruled city, and Europe's largest cult organization: ......
The streets are overflowing with smiles.
Shota continues to travel to numerous remote areas, but he has found discrepancies between the information presented by the media and the world he has seen.
“The media portrays the slums of Venezuela as very dangerous, but in reality, most people are kind, and the streets are overflowing with smiles. There are hardly any homeless people in Venezuela. This is because the locals help each other out. While they may be struggling with inner conflicts and worries, in their daily lives, everyone is smiling. I want to share that reality while learning by myself.”
He conducts his interviews primarily alone, with a camera in hand. He usually stays for about a month, utilizing local connections to immerse himself in the areas he reports on.
“I consciously approach these situations without any preconceived notions and with an open heart. You might be surprised, but in the slums, I was hardly ever asked for payment in exchange for interviews. In areas with a lot of negative information, residents likely have a strong desire for their reality to be shared.”
Just a week after his interviews, Shota flew off to his next destination. He will continue to delve into the true voices of people living in the world’s dangerous regions.
