Hi everyone! It’s been a long time (almost a full year since my last upload). <br> <br>I had to step away because of some personal challenges, but thankfully, things are much better now. I want to sincerely thank you all for your support and for being so many on the channel today. Seeing this community continue to grow despite my absence genuinely means a lot to me ❤ <br> <br>What did you think of this documentary? Let me know in the comments! I absolutely loved making it, even though each video takes hundreds of hours of work. If you enjoyed it, sharing it is one of the best ways to support and reward that work 🙏 <br> <br>I’m planning to upload much more regularly from now on, so make sure you’re subscribed and have notifications turned on if you don’t want to miss the next documentary 🔔 <br> <br>Thank you again for being here!

This is hands down the best mob channel on YouTube. The first person narration is a lot of fun. New susbscriber!

Well if it’s been a year since your last upload, I guess I am lucky you landed on my queue because I have never watched your channel. So far so good!

So glad to see another video from you! You are so talented in your craft. Thank you for bestowing a valuable viewing experience. Reading about your absence, just wanting to say nothing is more important than a clear mind. It takes a smart person to have the discernment to step back when needed. Wishing you the best!
