How to do good?
From Live Aid to Make Poverty History, celebrities have become activists against poverty. Bob Geldof and Bono have been the most prominent voices advocating on behalf of the poor. But have their concerts and campaigns really lifted millions out of poverty? Geldof, Bono and Bill Gates speak candidly about the ‘games’ involved in their years of lobbying, and how they played to politicians’ weaknesses for starry glitz and popularity. Director: Bosse Lindquist Producer: David Herdies
Interesting doc, coming to TVO on Sunday, November 25 at 9 PM
Did all of the world's donations really do any good? This is one of many documentaries on poverty that TVO is bringing to our attention.
