A Suite Of Films Poses The Question ~ Why Poverty?

Why Poverty? uses film to get people talking about poverty.

We’ve commissioned award-winning film makers to make eight documentaries about poverty, and new and emerging talents to make around 30 short films. The films tackle big issues and pose difficult questions, but they’re also moving, subtle and thought-provoking stories.

They transmit around the world in November 2012, on 62 national broadcasters reaching 500 million people. They’ll be accompanied by events designed to spark global and national debates and an online conversation to get people asking “Why Poverty?”

And if you picked A.) Because there is not enough to go around, you are most abundantly wrong.
