Samtu Palouki takes me through his incredible journey from a nerdy tech kid in Togo, moving to the US without being fluent in English, joining the US Army, the added challenge of the language barrier during bootcamp, isolation & lonliness, to creating short films to boost his comrades' morale - and becoming a viral video star. A story of perseverance, creativity, humor, and creating from the heart.
And see more of his work on Instagram.

Samtu and Chris met at Fort Drum, on the promo tour for Chris's documentary, Mission Mt. Mangart, about the 10th Mountain Division in WW2.
