How did a YouTube trip captured the Nepal Revolution for the world

When Harry Jackson pushed his small motorcycle to Kathmando on September 8, there was no idea of ​​the city in protests. He didn’t even know there was a bedroom. The people of Nepal, mainly driven by General Z Youth, were taken to the streets, and the uprisings began that day when nearly two two people were shot and killed by authorities. In the middle of it, Jackson was a travel Volgar from Thailand to England with his bike.

Within a day, the widespread demonstrations that filled capital were seemingly impossible: from the enforcement of a happy law, it storms the land of the parliament and burned the building and dismissed the prime minister. Jackson, who has been involved in YouTube, Instagram and other social media under the WehateteCold channel for months, became one of the main ways people seen around the world in Nepal, as the leadership of the youth leadership of the government.

Months of anger in Nepal were shaking, most of which were due to widespread corruption among politicians. Many of the children of these politicians are often gaining their wealth on social media. They, in turn, were called online by the Nepali people, and on September 4, the government banned 26 social media operating systems. The protests began and major demonstrations began on September 8, and police using tear gas, rubber bullets and living ammunition on the crowd of young demonstrators, who are predominantly young. This is when Jackson arrived and filmed through the marches and recorded bullets.

The movie still offers wehaatethecold with goodwill

Jackson was in Nepal in early June but returned due to other geopolitical issues. He intended to be in Kathmando for a short and easy stop to carry his Honda CT125 for the next phase of his journey. He has been in India and is trying to cross Pakistan. But the border was closed, so he moved north to Nepal. After getting the hotel and capturing the events, he decided to label some people and see the protests the next day. He is told that he was not safe for tourists, but he said he was willing to rotate the dice, especially after he mounted his bike on some insecure roads for weeks. On September 9, he left the protests for a few hours and decided to return to his hotel until the end of the afternoon to edit and publish the film quickly.

“This movie just has to go online. I watched it again and I thought time and thought, wow, this is insane,” he says. “They’re burning parliament, it’s so much!”

Jackson, as he moved on the narrow streets, was a crowd and eventually landed in the large area around the parliament building. Jackson’s film, which was recorded on that day, shows a combination of chaos – including hundreds of shooting shooting – and mutual aids, while people stop, to release the water, check to each other and help them harm tear gas. In this video, Jackson, 28, moves through the protesters and asks what is the last case, looking for a crowd close to the power chair. His video was turning off, showing millions of views in just a few hours and having more than 30 million views on YouTube.
