Poor Us: an animated history - Why Poverty? Trailer

POOR US: Do we know what poverty is?

Full film available online in JANUARY 2013 - see http://youtu.be/TxbmjDngois or www.whypoverty.net

The poor may always have been with us, but attitudes towards them have changed. Beginning in the Neolithic Age, Ben Lewis's film takes us through the changing world of poverty. You go to sleep, you dream, you become poor through the ages. And when you awake, what can you say about poverty now? There are still very poor people, to be sure, but the new poverty has more to do with inequality...

I have thought of above n making documentary a decade ago after living in the UK for three decades whilst digest global events daily. I saw more impact if the programme also extrapolate the acumen of West and East, contrasting their priorities daily n longterm if any in the Third World? You can start to compare the leaders, academic to lay person both East and West. Why?

The absolute reason we have mass Poverty in the 21st century is SIMPLY because of Selfish Wealthy Persons filed with GREED! Period! Its very easy to teach a person the skills needed for a Job description with everything taught & learned on purpose " #THEY" raise the Bar! There is nothing new under the Son... of God. THX #God!
