THE END OF POVERTY? premieres in New York at the African Diaspora Film Festival on Dec 3 and 10.

“A sort of ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ for global economics…a powerful description of how Western policies since colonialism have subjugated Third World countries.”

-Charles Masters, The Hollywood Reporter

Narrated by actor Martin Sheen and filmed in the slums of Africa to the barrios of Latin America, THE END OF POVERTY? explores how the true cause of poverty stems from actions taken during and since colonial times to perpetuate exploitation.

Panelists include: Director and founder of Cinema Libre Studio, Philippe Diaz, co-producer Matthew Stillman (Robert Schalkenbach Foundation), actor/author/activist Brian Jones. (Additional panelists to be finalized).
