Simone Giertz

In support of World Refugee Day, We Were Here is an original documentary series from YouTube and UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, that seeks to challenge stereotypes and perceptions about refugees by focusing on what unites us rather than sets us apart - our shared passions. This episode features YouTube inventor Simone Giertz and toymaker and Syrian refugee Mohammad, currently living in Azraq Refugee Camp in Jordan.

Based on the animated series Adventure Time, these four specials explore the unseen corners of the world with both familiar and exciting brand-new characters.
