What Are They Doing Here?

What Are We Doing Here, the documentary film by a lot of brothers and one of their cousins is interesting. While it’s nothing new that people are beginning to question the effectiveness of developmental aid, it’s a subject that hasn’t been explored much on film. A least not until somone makes Dead Aid or White Man’s Burden….THE MOVIE (little joke =).

From the film’s website…

Daring to ask the questions no one else will, the filmmakers invite the world to rethink the fight against poverty in Africa. Could our good intentions be causing more harm than good? Have humanitarian interventions prolonged suffering? Who is actually benefiting from our good intentions? These questions and many more are addressed for the first time ever in this groundbreaking feature length film. If you ever wanted to know what happened to the $10 dollars you donated to charity last year, look no further. This film will change the way you look at charity in Africa forever.

Are the Klien brothers the would-be Micheal Moore’s of developmental aid? Judge for yourself here. One thing’s for sure, the World Food Program can’t be too happy about all the free advertising they get on this site.
