The video shows a social experiment where the host interacts with a Venezuelan immigrant in Bogotá, Colombia, who is selling mints on the street. The host buys all the mints and gives the immigrant 50,000 COP (around $15 USD). The immigrant shares his story of struggling to make ends meet, having to walk 3 days from Cúcuta to Bogotá, and having a son with tuberculosis who needs surgery. The host, feeling empathetic, decides to give the immigrant an additional 100,000 COP (around $30 USD), totaling 200,000 COP (around $60 USD). The immigrant is grateful and shares his contact information with the host, who promises to help him raise funds for his son's surgery, which costs around $48,000,000 COP (around $14,000 USD). The video aims to raise awareness about the struggles of Venezuelan immigrants and to encourage people to help those in need.
