Poverty, Inc.
Description
The West has positioned itself as the protagonist of
development, giving rise to a vast multi-billion dollar poverty industry — the
business of doing good has never been better. Yet the results have been mixed,
in some cases even catastrophic, and leaders in the developing world are
growing increasingly vocal in calling for change. Drawing from over 200
interviews filmed in 20 countries, Poverty, Inc. unearths an uncomfortable
side of charity we can no longer ignore. From TOMs Shoes to international
adoptions, from solar panels to U.S. agricultural subsidies, the film
challenges each of us to ask the tough question: Could I be part of the
problem? Spoken languages English and Spanish (dubbed), subtitles in English
and Spanish Review “This documentary will be required viewing for our entire
team.” – Philip Sansone, Whole Planet Foundation “Moving. I confess there were
parts where I cried.” — Russ Roberts, EconTalk “I will definitely operate
differently in the field.” — Myra Khan, Pakistan | World Bank “Compulsory
viewing for anyone interested in social issues.” — Rathna Ramamurthi, India |
