Hola,

This is a beautiful story! simply amazing. My favorite line "Why are we rushing? What are we chasing? We need to slow down? "
I mostly agree, but Id imagine some of the people in his town are rushing because theyre starving. Im in the Western world and have rarely faced such calamity. Still, his message is sound, and hopefully inspiring to many.
Yes Yes !
i have no clue why there are so many dislikes on this video
like i legit dont know
Most likely from South African's themselves...
James L. some people just hate spinach...
James L. Its probably from the TH-cam algorithm itself, because if the video has no dislikes, it will look like as if this channel is using some bots.
Racism probably

I don’t want to use the term “environmentally friendly” because friendly people just smile and wave, I want to use the term “environmentally conscious.”
*That hit me hard.*
I didn't want this video to end....I could listen to Lufefe speak all day. This was a pleasure to watch, to listen to, to understand, and a great inspiration. Thank you for the exposure, Dan and a Great Big Story!
Inspirational...Lufefe for President!!

Amazing film! and also what the spinach king is making so inspiring! make a change
Not only he's an excellent farmer, but his words amazed me! Inspirational deep quotes!
This stuff is just awesome!
Dan and Lufefe have done an amazing job showing us how there is hope in these communities!
Respect!
Lufefe has a wonderful message! Really great work he is doing and you can see his passion. Wonderful film. Great work!
The Spinach King is a true hero and example for people to follow. Thank you truly.
This is amazing. The way the guy talks. The way he cares so much. A real life hero. A man of the people. Why can't our government be full of these guys
how did I miss this beautiful story? This is the type of empowerment and development we need. With the spinach grown by the people themselves, he is does a lot and more than all the companies dumping foods in the community
This is amazing!
This is beautiful. I even cried as he's walking with his family!
From the way it's filmed and edited, through to the message of happiness and community.
I can't wait to see more.
A product that helps feed families. The best thing to be a king of, especially with a kind and generous heart.
Something we should think about!
Great film Dan!
this man is truly incredible, magnificent, and inspiring. Lufefe Nomjana is the true definition of living with purpose. I felt his strength, his drive, his devotion, his spirit. He didnt just speak to me, he spoke through me.
635 haters. This man is actively doing something to uplift his community from poverty. Why hate?
What a amazing short film! Great work of bringing this story to the world!
we have a lot to learn from this guy. we need to help our local communities if we all lived like him the world wouldn't have food shortage or chronic disease
Dan's work is amazing. Let's make the world a better place!
we need more of this people also in europe.
A wonderful example of one man changing the world, by first changing his community.

Had the pleasure to meet this legend called Lufefe Nomjana, what a awesome guy! Great video!!!
What an amazing, beautiful, brave man. This is wonderful.
'friendly people just smile and wave'. Got me there 😢
We need more people like him!!

My man ! He's so wonderfully passionate about spinach, love it !
The baby is the most adorable ever!!!!!!
This is so amazing and breathtaking! It changed my view at some things!
Love Dan the Director, awesome to see him get this opportunity.
he's so determined about his spinach and his community, this is great.)
Inspiring story- the man sees a need in the community and creates a business model and cultures change the make use of community resources to make them sustainable.
What an inspiring and awesome person. Lufefe you are a legend! If your positive thoughts could only be instilled in all of us what an amazing place this world would be!
I want Lufefe to be my spirit animal. I live in America, I'm not well off. I have it leagues better than others yet that doesn't mean my worries are invalid. However, why is it that I cannot summon the courage and drive this man has. He sees a future where I see despair. He's not blinded by what could go wrong and only works to improve. Where has that drive gone in the rest of us?
Garlic bread vs spinach bread the movie
Back in africa......
The feels hit you hard when you're growing spinach
Dan this is a magnificent film and a great series. Lufefe is very a very articulate spokesman as he tell his own story of the Spinach King.
I look forward to more in this great series One Big Story.
I love the video and what he does, but can we just notice how GODDAM ADORABLE his son is
why does this have so many dislikes?
?
Long live the spinach king!!
I love the background music,it made the story much more moving😇
Well done, Dan! Another amazing story captured in a beautiful way!
everything about this was so beautifully done; the story, the subject, the cinematography, the music. i love this channel
Great story. Dan's work is so incredible, I admire him as a director and cinematographer. Ben Brown also made an awesome story for Great Big Story, that was equally impressive. Great talents. Thank you Great Big Story!
Such an inspiring video!!! well done Dan can not wait to see the next 2!!!
ive liked 5 videos in my 2 years on TH-cam and i wish i could like this twice!
great film. you know canada used to supply farming equipment and technology to help various african countries and communities to help them farm and produce they're own food up until the 80's. ... i wonder whatever happened to those programs... again, great film.
Beautiful. Great work dan.
Why are we rushing? what are we chasing? we need to slow down. Damn that was deep as fuck!
