UK Premiere: The End of Poverty?

Philippe Diaz's award-winning polemic, followed by a panel discussion.

  • Sat 12 Dec 14:00 NFT1 book

French film producer, Philippe Diaz's award-winning polemic asks why, in a world where there is so much wealth, we still have so much poverty. The media bombard us with images of famine but rarely explore the cause. Tracing colonial history and incorporating a mass of historical detail through a range of speakers, it challenges a system in which one person's comfort depends on another's misery. The film will be followed by a panel discussion.

This film was selected in conjunction with the African Caribbean Consultative Committee.
Panel discussion chaired by Colin Prescod, chair of Institute of Race Relations / Race and Class.
