Poverty, Inc.
explores the hidden side of doing good.
From disaster relief to TOMs Shoes, from adoptions to agricultural subsidies, Poverty, Inc.
follows the butterfly effect of our most well-intentioned efforts and pulls back the curtain on the poverty industrial complex - the multi-billion dollar market of NGOs, multilateral agencies, and for-profit aid contractors.
Are we catalyzing development or are we propagating a system in which the poor stay poor while the rich get hipper?
