What the creator captured
Davud Akhundzada sought out an honest street experience in Addis Ababa by avoiding a vendor who attempted to overcharge him 2,000 birr for a shoe shine. He eventually found a humble worker named Gish who charged the fair local price of 50 birr, leading Davud to reward his honesty with a secret $50 tip. The experience highlighted the stark contrast between the city's rapid luxury development and the daily struggle of its hardworking residents.
