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.
The "Why Poverty" folks are now making these available online, free, in full for all to access.
Within the summaries below you will find links to be to these 4 documentaries on line.
Please look for this hyper-linked text within the summaries linked below "THE DOCUMENTARIES ARE NOW AVAILABLE TO ALL. CLICK HERE TO ACCESS AND WATCH THE FULL…"
If you do view these documentaries please also complete the poll, share to your social networks and add your ratings and comments in the comments box at the bottom of the summary.
We will share the remaining four summaries soon.

Problem HI3- revise your view of what you want from whom you celebrate and the media that makes people famous overnight.
