side of al jazeera. that's our website, social media and podcast. now for many people around the world, this is a festive time of year. so this week we've got a mix of stories that all have something uplifting about them. call it art, feel good episode. if you want. we got a story from jordan about female footballers, you surprise themselves and the people around them with the power of sports. and we'll show you a beautiful film from italy about a photographer taking an old school approach. and by that, i mean, really old school with a camera from 19 o 7. the cameras are for later in the show, we're actually going to start with refrigerators. because all across the u. s. fridges full of free food have been popping up on street corners. the idea is you take what you need and you donate what you can in this episode of the 80 plus series. eat this yara, i'll am sure he goes to philadelphia to see how it all works. ah, this is me opening the fridge in the middle of the street in philadelphia, and it's bursting with free food. here's another one, and another one, and another one, b yogurt. o waffles, though, and again, all the food is completely free. these are community fridges, basically bridges full of free food that anyone can help themselves to. they're popping up in major cities all around the world, from hancock to one osiris. and there's a ton of them here in filling. many of these community fridges were started as a local form of covered relief. helping neighbor struggling to feed themselves during the pender, but now they've become a massive grassroots movement for food justice. a lot of supermarket closed in our community storefront on the ferry street were knocked down. how can you expect us to thrive when you are not allowing us to? hi, i'm your and i'm here to talk to the organizers behind this 900 pound fridge, a fridge, they say, gives out 1200 pounds of food every week. it's a story about how a community came together to help one another when the powers that be couldn't act fast enough. it's not left over. it's not you can have whatever i don't need, whatever i have you have and whatever you have i have. and that's what makes it a mutual aid. i'm traveling to west philadelphia to check out the people's fridge and find out how community fridge works and what it takes to keep it running. you fill it when you can and you take from it when you need it. that's own empiric. so it has been running the people's fridge with their sister sonia, since they opened it in september 2020. and it's such a simple idea. anybody who feels that they are able to of you can contribute. it's kind of an autonomous zone for giving the food is a human right? everybody should be able to access food at all times the longest. something can stay in the fridge is like an hour and a half maybe can stay or like literally say day before someone or someone takes it yet. it's not just sonya and so them, we're working on the fridge. they have an incredible team of volunteers who put in some serious hours to keep this thing running. we do grocery runs around like 9 am, 12 pm and, and 3 pm. and then we do it like a nighttime run, which is really, really important to do. that's when supermarkets clear out their stocks outside of us. there's about 60 hours of labor put into the bridge on a weekly basis at lee. and of course, the bridge couldn't run without electricity. that comes from mean as a cafe in community space that sony owns with their partner key a car. but electricity isn't the only thing that powers the people's fridge and it needs a lot of food. since donations alone aren't enough to keep the people's fridge operating . we're heading out on a grocery room for sonya and sona, the people's fridges about more than just keeping people, flew to survive or try to make things really like work together somehow. but people concrete meals, we just thought 360 ag, 30 counting very car egg, 1200 baby carriage. we bought about 48 apple. this is a very thoughtful sort of purchase of produce. it's really important not to just tell people. here is what's left over here is what you've asked for here of ingredients that you specifically requested from me here for the immigrant population in westborough adelphia and as the children of immigrants, it feels really good sometimes to see something from home in a place that isn't at home, you saw a lot of community for just during our time in philly. most of them were well stocked with good nutritious food. this was pretty good. apple onions pasta. most of all the bridges by to use the service in their communities to there's a specific philosophy behind the people's fridge. more on that later. for now, we're heading over to village products. it's like a truck market. it's like an impromptu ad hoc truck market to grab some more fruits and veggies that you might not find in your typical supermarket. better men? oh, wow. maybe on coconut a. how much do you guys spend on the bridge every week? we probably send $3500.00 a week. wow. yeah. every week. that's a lot of money, which mostly comes from grants and venmo donations. anyway, after that, we loaded up the truck and i did my best to help. oh spits. pretty perfectly, i think. until i was invited to stop helping you do good at the interview and i thought it might be my then headed back to the fridge to fill it out. how long after we started loading up the shelves, people were arriving to see what the fridge had in store. suddenly books showed up to drop off even more supplies. so oh, don't and people are shown up to donate food. this is like better calles the supermarket. now my uses the people's fridge. i spoke to some of the folks stopping by to find out we had a very, very hot month where the health related financial needs that, that really impacted our budgets. and i come from 3rd year have their, their home, and it is great. it keep me live. little feet is one of the poorest major cities in the u. s. as of 2018, nearly a quarter of philadelphia with and poverty. the city council had an action plan in place to help 100000 people out of poverty by 2024. but then the pandemic happened . a lack of healthy shopping choices was already a problem in philadelphia. and as the spread of coven 19 worsened, started to close down. oh, food space is shut down in our community, having no place to buy food is its own agony in 3 months into the pandemic. 90000 pennsylvania workers still have not received any unemployment benefits. when the stimulus checks finally came through, it was too little too late. as it was for many americans. a number of things inspired the freds. there is a huge up 2nd police violence. there was a pandemic that was global. and fortunately, affecting black and brown communities, especially this one communities like ours had been taking care of each other for hundreds and hundreds of years because the government has failed to. we strongly encourage folks to just open their own fridges, we can all share this incredible active, giving and doing together. so if that doesn't get you feeling all the fields are next story, definitely. well, i just love this film. it was made in jordan where football is not usually a sport that's open to women, but that hasn't stopped this group of women getting a kick out of playing

against allowing the women to continue to play a wooden schwab. alma couldn't eliminate any best method in the lip lip sit a little yellow or lab leggett and that's the laddie key, a leprosy mcclellan, libya and we any is shape. it took an incredible amount of courage from these women to decide not to give up even under a tremendous amount of pressure from at home and from the community. gillian martin delivered death and had went away with him and him him dilemma for a bill. and i mean, they meant to how, in the ethic, the messing museum and a lot of the money and better the cotton

bus up up, lex said, it had been the nf upon ma. hm. oh, good him. so it must have a chance to look down hammer or bummer, what he had a better. and what's your me not a letter ah, [000:00:00;00] with i would give a handful with was not because of that and no i had, you know, i had a kid go with the guys. a team didn't win the overall champion trophy, they were awarded the action champion trophy because of the incredible transformation that they were able to achieve both for themselves and for their communities. a year and a half ago, there was a dilapidated field in the middle of the guy's account, where boys and men were allowed to play that women. i know they have a brand new field in the cam where they have their space to to bring about that change of perception is one of the hardest things to do in the community. and in just one year, they were able to do that and they were able to do that through football, through sport these days we've all become so used to snapping away on our funds. we barely even think about the photos we take, but one photographer in italy is taking the complete opposite approach, spending hours to capture just one picture. and it all started when he came across a camera that's more than a 100 years old. take a look. ah it's catching light it's catching a kind of visible light. very different. i don't know whether i catch dreams most probably my own dream sir. ah my name is kirk moser, and i am the light kitchen ah, ah, i was born not very far away from here really in the middle of the mountains on the 1000. let me just see load. if you grew up in this mountains, then of course you have a kind of relationship to this month. this month you would, if we're down here since $200.00 millions of years, most burglary, they will be here audit $200.00 millions of years. and when you go up there, you can feel it's just a little small person up there in the middle of this immense, huge nature. and i spent 30 years as a cameraman. i was slowly over the planet working. i think this was something deep in me after shooting in wards though, and sent on shooting scenes that you really should not see something gross in you. it does a deep neat of they can picture of something completely different. the exact opposite beauty with something like 3 years ago by mistake i found or maybe she found me this beautiful old camera that was covered with blankets were 5 centimeters of dust on it. we took the blank, had softened, we discovered this piece of history and i restored it for 4 months and then worked . there was this big question, what to do now with this camera? i mean, it was really nice to look at, but that's not enough. this camera was made for taking pictures and not for being in a museum. i don't go to a shop and say, i would like to have this lance that would like to have this light meter. and i would like to have this filters. nothing exists. so i have to look for everything that i need in 8050. they found out about this kind of photography, the system, this anson photographic system. i think this was amazing. i could not even imagine that to day somebody could invent something like this. so for me, this guys were here us, there are a huge amount of terror. was emily, this 90 have to get rid of one by one. so the learning process and it never stops. you take like glass blades and you cover it with collodion, which is a substance made of gun powder and bottom and it with some alcohol on eater in it and different salts. and then you put it on the glass plate and thrice down and you bring it in a silver, but it completely absorbs the silver crystals. you expose it on the camera for fear . but and as soon as you have done the picture, you go back in your dark room immediately because you have only 5 minutes and you have to develop it. if i make him mistake just by one second, that's kind of a catastrophe. when you've succeeded with your developing, then you fix it, you wash it and you varnish it. it's like complicated system, sometimes slow as the on the actual say, hey, come on, forget about. but then there were photographers in 1850, they were able to work with isms or why should i not be able to when the 1st time a picture showed up, i was kind of blown away to us and see like wow war. it was kind of a miracle. now what i'm doing is one photograph every 3 days and it's just this one. i can catch it. i can feel it. it lasts for some 100 of years, earth and believable in this kind of time said we are living now. i photographed something that we don't see a photograph, some kind of invisible light with u. v. light. and that makes it very interesting. i think it's worse doing this if you have this one acre in front of you and you look at it than you say, ok, that's why i do it. if i take a photo of, of his own camera, it takes me something likes 2 or 3 hours just to make the light to fix the camera, to prepare the plates effect. so i have a lot of time to speak to this persons and they kind of learn something of them. you have this huge camera in front of you, or you have this really strong lights in front of you, and you are sitting there for a long time. that changes you, you don't even try any more to have to smile for a 2nd. so something very, very sincere, of your soul comes out. i wait exactly for this moment. and the reaction when people see their portray is wow, yes, that's me. but i have never seen myself like this an i completely quit my job as a camera man, and i'm focused on completely concentrated on what i do just in this photographic project. other people still don't understand what i'm doing and for them it's completely crazy when i'm doing and in a way to write because you kind of risk your whole existence. and just to follow a dream, there is no guarantee that it will work. i don't have insurance. i'm, i'm living my life today because i have no idea if in 10 years i'm still alive. i have to live my life now. my aim is not to send the message to the word. i just tried to a little bit the eyes of the people. you know, it is a love, sorry, as in a way it is another. it's a kind of a crazy love story about wraps up this season of portal. we hope you've enjoyed the mix of content that we brought you, and that has given you a taste of some of the original audio and video you can find on our website and social media
