This video follows AN8 with a deep love for farming. Despite the constraints of camp life, she has cultivated a small garden where she grows spinach and other vegetables, not only to feed her family but also to sell to her neighbours. As she prepares Saak (spinach) from her garden, AN8 reflects on the vast agricultural lands she once tended in her homeland, Myanmar. Her memories of kheti (farming) bring both sorrow and nostalgia, highlighting the deep loss experienced by the displaced Rohingya community.
