You can find similar short biography videos on famous people in You Tube. Just type 'Biography' or 'Biography: Need to know' and you will come across lots of them.
Why don't you get together with an English-speaking friend and decide to prepare a short comprehension activity for each other? Make sure you choose a different video to start with. Then prepare a few questions on the video about information you have actually understood. You don't need to understand everything to do that. Simply prepare questions on information you are confident you have the answer for. Make sure the answers are short, or true/false. Then exchange the questions and do the listening activity your friend has created for you.
This way you can greatly benefit from your own skills and those of your friend's while you do activities that are sometimes difficult to find.
