Russia’s Hidden Poverty | Documentary, Elderly, Poor, Village Life, Social work, Volunteering

In this video, I will show you what real poverty looks like. I traveled through small towns and villages in Russia to see how people live below the poverty line. Together with volunteers and social workers, I visited people who lost everything because of stroke, scams, disabilities, or just old age. Forgotten by society, these invisible people barely get by, and only the care from volunteers and acts of kindness help them keep their dignity.

This video is about those we don’t notice and why helping them can make life better for everyone.
