DANCE LEST WE ALL FALL DOWN by Margaret Willson

I have serious questions about the poverty statistics presented in this video. A UNESCO report in Portuguese tells me that in 2003, 13,7% of Brazilians lived in extreme poverty while 35% were considered poor. A more recent study, published in August 2008, reveals that in the last 5 years there has been a significant reduction in the poverty and extreme poverty rates, to 24,1% and 6.6% respectively. This is a far cry from the 80% poverty rate presented in the video!!!!

@assistech2000 it doesn't sound too far fetched to me. America is not that much better with all of it's wealth and social programs, or why else would African-Americans account for on a national average approximately 50% of the prison population and high school drop-out rates, all directly correlated to poverty?... Those numbers make easy sense.
