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."
