How a Free Food Shop is Fighting Food Waste and Help People in Need

In this heartwarming video, I take you on a journey to the heart of Vienna to introduce you to an inspiring organization called Verein M.U.T. These dedicated individuals have set up a free food shop to provide for those in need, while also tackling the issue of food waste.

Every year, they rescue over 60,000 kilograms of food that would have otherwise been thrown away and distribute it to people who need it most. They go even further by delivering food to other organizations that support underprivileged people in Vienna.

But their work doesn't stop there. Verein M.U.T. also donates clothes to homeless people and provides a safe, welcoming environment for those who are struggling.

I had the privilege of volunteering with them and was inspired by their passion and commitment to making a difference in their community.

Join me on this journey as we explore the incredible work that Verein M.U.T. is doing and learn how we can all make a difference in the fight against food waste.

I have a new favorite documentary!!! TROM II: A Message to the Aliens :)

I think @Tio deserves an oscar for this one! :) The documentary hasn’t been released yet, but I got to view it last night hehehe :D. It is 4 parts, about 5 hours long, and I watched it in one go, staying up until about 6AM and I couldn’t get my eyes off the screen.

I think Tio did an absolutely fantastic job and it’s really hard to believe that this doco was a one-man job.
I’ve seen him struggle with this documentary for the past 2-3 years. At first, he started to make a script and put a bunch of footage together, then he scrapped that idea and decided to interview 4 people (Dima, Aaron, Georgi, and me) + himself. Tio came up with all the questions, hoping to present his view of the world through our answers, combining our general knowledge of the world with our life stories.

We spent months filming these interviews (at night with bright lights and a black background- which later made it challenging to edit). After all the filming was done, Tio had dozens of hours of footage, all scattered in different interviews, between 5 different people. Imagine trying to create a story out of that. Little by little he went through the footage and created a story that pins our world and our human society to the backdrop of the universe, combined this cosmic perspective with 5 personal stories, demonstrated how we, humans, are influenced by our environment, and how so much of this environment is permeated by trade. Then he demonstrates some of the immense problems this has caused, and introduces a new idea on how to tackle those problems.

And of course, to make all of this, he used footage from many many documentaries, movies, video clips, etc. Finding the right footage was a huge challenge (he didn’t use any stock footage) + combining all of this with great music + many editing effects, and a lot more. All in all it was a massive challenge and Tio really nailed it. I am so proud of him :)

Can’t wait for TROM II to be released to the public!!!!

#trom #tromlive

My most awaited project of the year, the TROM II documentary, is now finally close to its release! 😃 So I just want to share a few thoughts as to why its so interesting for me:

👉 The entire #documentary, around 5 hours long and divided into 4 parts, is made by a single person ( @Tio ), using only #FOSS software like @Kdenlive for editing, and on a #linux distro (tromjaro.com) as the main OS. This in itself is a very impressive feat! And also a shout-out to the awesome #FreeSoftware / #OpenSource community for how much it has grown. I heard this documentary is the biggest project ever made on #kdenlive so far, and making such a big documentary by a single person is no joke - took years of hard work to complete.

👉 Following a #FediFirst approach, it will be released on #fediverse platforms like @PeerTube first! Free for all to watch without any ads or data collection. I don't know if this will be uploaded to proprietary platforms like #YouTube, tho I'm sure #Peertube will always have top priority 😉

👉 Unlike the first TROM documentary which was released a decade ago, this one features interviews with people like @Sasha, @Aaron, @Dima, @Georgi and Tio himself. They talk about their personal lives, how they grew up in this world and such, their stories are supposed to give us a larger perspective on how our current society works. I can't tell you much more until I get to watch the documentary and see how all of this falls into place 🙂

👉 No stock footage has been used in the documentary! If making a 5 hour documentary doesn't sound hard enough for you then this will do it, lol 😄 So for example if it shows some scientists looking at data in one scene, then its actual scientists looking at actual data that they work on, not some stock footage of actors pointing at screens and faking stuff. Finding real world footage like this is a time consuming task as it'd require going thorugh a lot of documentaries, videos, etc looking for the right clip you need.

👉 If you've ever read any of the TROM e-books or seen their videos before then you'll know how it goes - looking at the world from a scientific perspective, encouraging people to be curious about the world we live in and the universe that surrounds us, and perhaps most important of all, to cut through all of the social constructs we've been accustomed to and see the world for what it really is, because only if we truly understand our world can we solve the many problems that are plaguing our planet right now. To get a little taste of what TROM is about you can try watching these short videos they've released in the past:

Or you can also watch it directly on Peertube - videos.trom.tf/w/p/fVpfZ9VfWrW…

Based on a recent poll I made on mastodon a staggering number of people aren't even aware of this documentary yet, so please spread the word if you find this valuable 🙏

32. Prison Earth by Sasha

Video inspired by Sasha's article - bigworldsmallsasha.com/2020/01… and recorded/edited by Dima dmitrylisenko.com/

Welcome to Prison Earth. If you’re a very well-behaved inmate, you might not even realize that you’re locked up. If you never try to step outside, if you never question the guards or the other prisoners, and you do as they all do- work, work, work- slave your life away, and take “vacations” only when they let you, for as long as they let you- you might never even question the prison. You might be numb to it, quietly existing, working in the system, perhaps drinking or taking pills to cope with the lack of meaning in your imprisoned life.

I hope you’re not like that. I hope you question, and take a step outside, at least with your own mind.
