FriendlySOCIAL MOVEMENTS FEATURED
Poverty is a huge topic. With a limited travel budget we had to narrow our focus. We chose five countries with two criteria: first, countries with governments that were open to acknowledging and talking about the poverty challenges they faced; and secondly, countries that represented a specific issue in the broader scheme, such as land rights in Kenya. Unfortunately, we weren't able to make it to Asia although we spoke with activists from Asia while we were filming at The World Social Forum in Nairobi, Kenya.
The making of the film brought us to four continents: South America (Venezuela, Brazil, Bolivia), Africa (Kenya and Tanzania), Europe and North America. In addition to the experts, these are the people and social movements fighting against poverty who were featured in the film (organized by the order in which we visited their countries).
