Re: "Why Poverty?" Documentaries now available to view in full online
Greetings Chris
Poverty is perhaps the major development issue - one that certainly underpins most other development priorities.
Public debate is a key key element for effective change - and a major strategic principle of communication for social change.
The "Why Poverty?" documentary series - see
http://www.comminit.com/whypoverty/category/sites/global/why-poverty - seeks to expand critical public review, engagement and debate on poverty.
In December 2012 those documentaries were broadcast in over 70 countries.
