What a treasure this is. A window into another life. And what an extraordinary man. Engineer, botanist, philosopher, teacher, father, inventor. Beautifully made, with respect.
My mind blow up
What a beautiful man; so much grace and a brilliant mind. His children will benefit from this. I have benefited from this.. thank you.
The students in the school have reverence for an education; understand the significance. Look so respectful
One student from the rest of the world gets to have one of the best botanist teacher in the world that Harvard can’t even get their hands on
This is one of the most moving, inspiring and beautifully shot films I’ve seen in some time. Thank-you for bringing this man’s light to the world in such a deserving way.
Jessica thank you for understanding. We need more people such as yourself.
thank you for this film. how beautiful and excruciatingly painful to see what people struggle so hard for. things we take for granted. i hope he gets his wish. what a brilliant guy. we will bridge this gap some day. and i love his grandbabies.
yes
I think you might misinterpret his situation. Yes he has a hard life butge is very innovative and very content with it.. it seems like a fullfiling live to me.
I love the last line, 'You can't tell what someone is like by looking at their forehead!' Thank-you for sharing.
Rich in wisdom.
Rich in soul.
Rich with humility.
Thank You MUCH.
This man is pure genius.
What an inspiring brilliant human being! I hope he lives to the hundreds because he has a lot to offer not just to his village but to the world. He lives in a difficult environment but finds happiness in it. You cannot judge a book without reading it!
Mesmerizing. Thanks to all who were involved in making this film. And my respects to Raimberdi & his people.
What an amazing man..Subhan'Allah..May Allah take care of him and his family..Ameen..
A simple and slow life gives the opportunity to experience the very moment and to get a deeper understanding of what is going on right now.
When I look around in the industrial societies where everything is under pressure and under the harsh rules of time efficiency the people are depressed and cold. And none of all the goods they collected to fill their emptiness is able to change anything.
But a pure and simple life that is not suffering under a restrictive time management or a materialism terrorism is offering awareness to realise the true aspects of a real life.
I don't think I'll be exaggerating when I say this guy is the nearest to a living polymath I have seen yet! touche to the ingenuity.
Necesscity is the mother of invention..creative thinking has given what had been needed and provided..his plant knowledge is amazing..a talent that creates his own universe..⭐..a teacher to others.
What a beautiful mind and heart this man. His education and entrepreneurship and passion for his local community should be an exemplar for all students
He is so clever and wise, amazing work
We all have a gift, and it is all our mission's to shine it.....that's it....I love plants too....
Is there anything we can do to help or I almost think it would cause more harm than good to interrupt the destiny and greatness embodied here. I admittedly squander my time, and feel almost ashamed at my wealth and good fortune, even as a middle class citizen
I thought it's another life of a botanist but its truly the story why he became a botanist!.
truly spectacular.... perfectly captured a beautiful yet underappreciated region at it's finest. the struggle and hardship of these peoples' lives was displayed so thought-provokingly and subtly it almost moved me to tears. thank you!
same here! this short film has a heart
+Flor V and +Alice Caldwell Thank you so much for your comments! Trust me, they are not taken for granted. We're so happy to see that we found a way to tell Raïmberdi's story that could resonate with you and others! We make films because we are moved by people's stories and the possibility to move others is what keeps us going.
the love you put is tangible!, hope to see more from you guys!!
I saw this documentary on The Atlantic as well. Extraordinary stuff
You just cry when you see people like Raimberdi. Meaning, persévérance and authenticity. Don't judge a man's mind from his forehead.
Thank you Maxime and Maude. The film is deeply touching
Thank you for this! If it wasn't for you I'd probably never know of this old man.
Such a brilliant way to show stories. Such a great Man (The Botanist) What amazing differents ways to live out there. This makes me wonder how far we are from that kind of context. Surrounded by mountains with no one except people in his village, with all his knowledge about plants. Well, thanks for bringing this here @NOWNESS
This story is very moving. I admire him very much.
All these films are so elegant and real
truly amazing! beautifully filmed and cut, thank you for this!

+Bubble bath Thank you!! So happy that you were moved by our film :)
Nothing but bliss!
This is incredible
This is amazing. I don't know why this doesn't have more views
Sublime landscape and a very creative and inventive man. God bless them
What incredibly beautiful people.
God bless this man and his family
Beautiful human mind and soul
Brilliant. What a great man!
don't know if i should thank technology for providing us with this kind of material or hate it for taking that life from us .anyway thanks to nowness
It’s not technology that is bad. It depends on person how he/she use it.
Inginuity is born of necessity. If one is too comfortable, their mind goes to sleep. Struggle and emerge Raimberdi.
Patrick Reardon beautifully said, Patrick
Wow what a powerful statement!
All of your videos are sooooo amazing
I pledge, if I make it to that part of the world, I will consider it my Tibetan destination.
Meaning. Truly an inspiring human.

If you let this guy say that it was better in SU then it needs to have another side. It was not better for me to be in that jail of peoples.
Goddamn MUSIC IS TOO LOUD!!
Very interesting film except for horrible accompanying music.
Not in English 😔👎
Its funny what him say in the end about the human potencial, because in another video of this channel about satisfaction i comented that i wanted so much enjoy with they in his satisfaction activie whitout they speaking one single word, and here its the funny i see this in a arid climate, political problems, and a teacher doing his life and in no one moment i ask him for participate, even that he makes the magic hapens in his comunity. We aways want go from a bad place for a good place, whitout trasforming the reality around us.
Beautiful
