the
interview
I met Baraka at the
Serengeti
Sopa Lodge when I was staying there while working and traveling in May
2008. He was so nice, articulate and charming every day that
we
worked with him that on the morning I was leaving, I just randomly
asked him if he would like to share his greatest realization in life
with me on camera. I wasn't even sure if he knew exactly what
I
was asking for since English was his second language. Once we
got
set up, this beautiful man simply and clearly gave me his story to
match both him and the breathtaking scenery behind him. He
knew
exactly what I was asking for.
