What the creator captured
Davud Akhundzada navigated the massive Mercato market in Ethiopia, feeling a mix of tension and curiosity due to safety warnings and locals' hostility toward his camera. Despite the challenges of finding a working ATM and being told not to film, he managed to find a moment of peace while drinking traditional Ethiopian tea at a small stall. He concluded that the market's intensity and the local obsession with TikTok made it a uniquely chaotic environment for exploration.
