Poverty inc

If you have not thought much about the global aid system, the trailer below for "Poverty, Inc." will stimulate your thinking.

Magatte Wade says  "I'm glad people want to help . . people give us food, dig us wells, bring us shoes . . the problem is - it does not work . . Emergency disaster relief has become the permanent model. We don't need one more celebrity doing one more campaign . . If you really want to help, the poverty industry as we know it has to go."

"After 40 years, if you're still here - that's a problem."



"No one wants to be a beggar for life."
