- “Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.” - Poet Khalil Gibran
In today's modern world, the meaning of "beauty" has become distorted. Too many of us worry about our outward appearance. But no matter how much we fuss about the external, we are our most beautiful when we are authentic.
Severs Jooste has come to realise the meaning of true beauty, particularly after a terrible accident left him scarred for life. One’s authentic beauty comes from the power within.
To follow our film making journey - / greenrenaissance
Who is Green Renaissance? We are a tiny collective of 3 passionate filmmakers (Michael, Justine and Jackie). We live off-grid and dedicate our time to making films that we hope will inspire and share ideas.

Despite being uneducated, he is the smartest man ever built. The most good-looking even caught up in an accident. The most loving and loved. He is a specially blessed soul!
What an absolutely beautiful soul!!
I am A Man and I can say that old Man is the Must Beautiful Man I have ever seeing. his words are Wisdom to the rest of the human race.at first I saw his Scars but at the end I saw His Beautiful Heart. and the Scars were not there anymore. Priceless.
That smile, his smile from within, is so precious
Absolutely Niko - Oom Severs just shines with beauty from within. We loved spending our time with him to make this short film.
Yes! That spark from within... Beautifull
True
What a beautiful man. What a beautiful heart. What a beautiful life. This is love.

What a wise and gentle-old-man he is with so much love in his beautiful heart! 🤍🕊
@Deseré Makaroff - He does indeed have the most beautiful heart - treating all those in his life with gentle kindness. We're also working on so many more stories in our spare time, so keep tuned in for a brand new release, out every single Wednesday. Justine x
The man with a damaged face has the most beautiful smile 💖💖💖. Green Ranaissance, thank you for conveying these thoughtful messages in such a wonderful way. I have no words good enough to describe your videos. And all the people in your videos, they inspire me to be a better human being. 💖

"Nature gives you a sense of perspective and lifts your soul" Love the way he says this. I feel it too 💚
Me watching your videos this April 19, 2020 here in the Philippines. I've never commented on any other youtube videos before, but with you, I really really want to express my sincerest appreciation.. THANK YOU VERY MUCH for your videos from the heart.. very remarkable and uplifting. How beautiful it is to share positivity and inspiration to anyone across the world. Your kind of videos are worth watching a million times. Every video has touched my heart and left a mark in my soul. It's just sad that our generation is becoming more and more superficial, that we constantly taking truly wonderful things for granted..we forgot to look at the true beauty that lies beneath..
I pray that more and more people will get to watch your wonderful creations, so that more and more people will be uplifted and inspired, just like me. I hope that you may come across people or organizations who are willing to help in funding your videos so that you will be able to continue creating more amazing videos for us in the future. God bless you!
@Maricar Castillo - THANK YOU for your message here on our UA-cam channel, and also for the little Facebook note. It is people like you who lift our spirits and add sparkle to our days. That you can see the beauty and value in each story - that is precious to us. Thank you for joining us on this journey, for taking the time to share your thoughts, and for choosing to comment on our film. We LOVE hearing from you, so please do keep telling us what you have of each new film that we release. We're working on so many more stories, so keep subscribed so that you don't miss each new film, out every Wednesday. Justine x
Also from the philippines! I agree. I wish i discovered their videos earlier. Such wonderful videos. Truly inspiring and it gives us a sense of hope that humanity is not truly lost.
He has a very beautiful soul, you can feel it through the light in his eyes when he smiles.
I find his spirit really beautiful and I would love to meet him!
@Elise Khoury - He is truly a very inspiring man x
she’s an inspiration❤️ I’ve struggled a lot accepting my flaws, it took me so long to accept who I am. this channel changed something in me and never regret it🥰
@Nicz TV - Ah, thanks so much for the words of support x
Love the message here about what is really important. Inner beauty over transitory appearance.
This film deserves a billion views.
:)
Such a great man. Sending him a big hug🙂
Ho what a intense level of heart he has got and his intellect is obedient to his heart. I understood that here we find true meaning in life. Thank you for sharing his life to us.
@Sachin Monteir0 - and thank you for taking the time to listen to his story and appreciate his words.
What a beautiful person. Puts most of us to shame.
Severs the love and joy of life shines through you and makes me so happy. Thank you
this video make me cry. I really love this video
thank you
💚
Absolutely beautiful and so very true, beauty is inside, and this incredibly beautiful hearted human shows us! Thank you so much!
Touch my heart and feel beautiful within. She so beautiful!
💚💚💚
However you deviate,there is a strong connection between yours and Earth's soul
Beauty is the aura of one's soul
She is inspirational. The way a person looks can be a challenge for them but it's really a test for us because they don't walk around with a mirror but our perception of them tells a lot about us.
The perception of outward beauty is dependent on the seer. Take any beautiful actress or handsome actor and you will find that some think they are beautiful while others will not. How we are born looking is not up to us, the beauty that we create within us, is.
💚
such a beautiful video, and that beautiful smile though.
@Naila Khan - Thank you for seeing such beauty in that smile :) 💚
Wow! such a rich life. Simply beautiful!
We come to this world and we participate in every moment that is ours. We enjoy the good moments and we get through the terrible ones, sometimes not believing how we got to the light at the end of the blackest of black of tunnels. And we think to ourselves, “ How did we gather all the shattered pieces and put them together in such a way as to make us more beautiful than we were before ? That is not possible !!”
Then we watch a video of yours and meet Oom Severs and we can actually feel our hands holding his face and knowing that it IS possible !
Thank you, Oom ! Thank you 🙏🏻🌺
@Indirá Camotim - Your appreciation for the small details, for the intimate connection with each character, for your genuinely kind words of support - we THANK YOU for it all. Much love from South Africa to you. Justine x
Accept life like this uncle and live it without worry. LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL!
You must stay positive...
So glad you enjoyed his positive message. Enjoy life! Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚

This is a great man, a real gentleman. Every single word he expressed is great wisdom. His smile shows his tenderness and compassion towards people and his tragedy. He has transcended his lost to a high spiritual level which makes his life even more beautiful. I'm really amazed by the excellent work of your team, like a treasure hunter you have a very special talent to perceive people not by their appearance, races, age and social classes. I am from Hong Kong, I'm very delighted to find this channel that inspire me everyday. These film should be played in schools.

U really defined d true meaning of life
"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly: what is essential is invisible to the eye." From "The little prince" .
So interesting that you add this beautiful quote to this film. We are working on a new story, which we'll be sharing in a few weeks time, in which the character quotes this exact passage as well! Synchronicity. Sending you love Justine and Michael x

Que pena que no estén los subtítulos en español o italiano como es mi caso.Yo no sé inglés pero bueno veo todos los que si puedo leer y por eso estoy feliz porque este canal aporta mucho a mi vida .Gracias.
@MC ME - Sorry that we haven't added subtitles to ALL our films. But we rely on the input of volunteers to do this, and we're happy that all our new films DO include subtitles in over 20 languages. Hugs to you. Justine and Michael 💚

I was just reading a book called The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren, and in Day 2 it says this, Long before you were conceived by your parents, you were conceived in the mind of God. And this poem is for you, This poem by Russell Kelfer sums it up: You are who you are for a reason. You’re part of an intricate plan. You’re a precious and perfect unique design, Called God’s special woman or man. You look like you look for a reason. Our God made no mistake. He knit you together within the womb, You’re just what he wanted to make. The parents you had were the ones he chose, And no matter how you may feel, They were custom-designed with God’s plan in mind, And they bear the Master’s seal. No, that trauma you faced was not easy. And God wept that it hurt you so; But it was allowed to shape your heart So that into his likeness you’d grow. You are who you are for a reason, You’ve been formed by the Master’s rod. You are who you are, beloved, Because there is a God! 11
Those socks tho. Great video!!!
❤❤
💕👍
Please subtitle in spanish or portuguese 🙏 Abraços aqui do Brasil 🇧🇷 💚🇧🇷
We'd love to add subtitles, in all languages, to all our films. But we rely on the kind volunteers from around the world who help us subtitles our stories. So slowly, as they have time, we'll keep adding subtitles. For now, please know that all our newer films DO include subtitles in Spanish and Portuguese - so we hope that you enjoy these. Warm hugs to you. Justine and Michael 💚
It would better if every time you indicate location and language.

Where does Severs comes from? He looks like a Khoikhoi, is it South Africa or Namibia?
He lives in the tiny town of Prince Albert - in the Western Cape of South Africa
What country is he from? It would be interesting to know what language one listens to while watching a video. Thank you.
He is from South Africa - he is speaking Afrikaans - it is one of the 11 official languages here.
The title is exactly conforming to how most people perceive beauty on a superficial level.
The title kinda suggests this man has to have it from his pretty soul because his appearance isn't beautiful?
You are doing the very same thing you want to address.
Props for trying.
The message is that beauty within is the kind of beauty that matters. The judgmentalism is your own projection.
