[Pen-l] The End of Poverty?

[Louis Proyect <lnp3@xxxxxxxxx>]

Scheduled for theatrical release in late March, Philippe Diaz’s “The End 
of Poverty?” was a feature presentation at the 2008 African Diaspora 
Film Festival. After watching this documentary last night, I feel 
confident in stating that there is no sharper critic of the capitalist 
system in the film world than Philippe Diaz. This amazing movie not only 
explains how global inequality has its roots in 1492, but also allows 
the victims of “Western civilization” to speak for themselves. Indeed, 
the movie will remind you of Mahatma Gandhi’s famous rely to a Western 
reporter who asked him what he thought of Western civilization. He 
answered, “I think it would be a good idea.”
