"A HEAVY ABACUS" BY THE JOY FORMIDABLE 

FilmAid presents an inspirational music video, based on the hit single 'A Heavy Abacus' by indie rock band The Joy Formidable, and directed by award-winning filmmakers Paola Mendoza and Topaz Adizes.

Paola and Topaz spent a month volunteering as FilmAid Visiting Teaching Artists in Kakuma Camp. They were inspired by the strength of the people they met and decided to make a video starring young Sudanese refugees. This gorgeous video was shot in just three days, using one camera, two light reflectors, and an iPhone.
