This is amazing! I came across this great promo clip provided by Guinness which was shot sometime between 2013-2014. These gentleman, despite all the conflict in the region, break out their threads and keep their spirits high. The short clip reminded me a bit of the 80’s doc “Paris is Burning“. Despite their circumstances, the rise and create unity through fashion. Peep!
