Habeshas In The Arts: Season One

Habeshas in The Arts was born out of a desire to see more Habesha (Eritrean/Ethiopian) artists visibly in media. What started as a text message, turned into a three-hour conversation. In this three-part series, actor David Samuel talks with Filmon Berhe, Yonatan Gebeyehu, Miriam Simmons, and Selamawit Worku about what it means to be Habesha and be an artist.
