New Movie Trailer – The End to Poverty?

Though this blog focuses on the effects of poverty in Chicago and the hardships of people who have been forced into homelessness because of poverty, in truth the problem of poverty and homelessness is far greater in other parts of the world. The poor in the poorest parts of the world have far fewer opportunities than the poor in Chicago.

A new documentary called The End of Poverty? looks at the policies of the U.S. government and U.S. business that have led to crushing poverty in places like sub-saharan Africa. The movie is narrated by Martin Sheen and is directed by Philippe Diaz, who has experience with making films about U.S. politics (Uncovered: The War in Iraq) and Africa (The Empire in Africa).

Watch the trailer below.

You can see more videos from the movie on their YouTube Channel. The film will be showing in NYC on November 13 and in LA on November 25.
