This YouTube interview features Ousman Umar recounting his childhood in a small West African village (about 100 inhabitants), where he grew up without shoes and made his own toys. At ~12–13 years old he saw a flying "pájaro metálico" (airplane), which sparked intense curiosity about how "the whites" built such machines and motivated him to learn trades (chapistería and welding) and eventually leave for Europe. He describes idealized expectations of Europe (seeing it as a "paraíso" where everyone is highly skilled and generous) and the harsh reality he found upon arrival—sleeping on the street, relying on a stranger named Eva who gave him ~40 euros and a backpack, and the emotional resilience required to persist.
