Cash Back

Shot in Brick Lane in the heart of London's East End, this film reveals the extent of remittances.This is money sent by migrants and Diasporas to friends, families and villages in some of the world's poorest countries. They don't wear their heart on their sleeve or a wristband to show they care and they go on sending money when the shocking TV images have faded. Remittances outstrip aid and foreign direct investment for many developing countries. There are no strings attached and as the film suggests, remittances better represent the aspirations of our peers globally than much of contemporary charitable giving and celebrity pleading to buy a hoe or a goat.

In response to the 1st 4 comments (if thats what you'd call them). If it wasn't for people like those in this film, Third World countries would be much, much poorer and probably have more deaths due to problems caused by their poverty. Is this what you want? I know I don't.

A question for the 2 goons... If it's that bad and the 'worst film' you've ever seen in your life, why have you obviously been back for a second time?

What is wrong with this film? I think it is a great little piece highlighting what immigrants are doing to help themselves, and it shows that their ambitions rise ever so slightly (!!!) beyond our poverty of ambition for them, aka the Millenium Development Goals.
