This film is about the hunger and poverty brought about by Globalization. There are 10,000 people dying everyday due to hunger and malnutrition. This short film shows a forgotten portion of the society. The people who lives on the refuse of men to survive. What is inspiring is the hope and spirituality that never left this people.

Thank you so much for sharing. As part of our MBA "edge" class on using web 2.0 to mobilize action for a cause, we are bringing attention to child hunger in Niger. We set up an Amazon webstore and all proceeds go to globalgiving. http://cookingthingsup.amazonwebstore.com/
