US foreign aid under-performs and often fails to reach the people who need it most. Oxfam seeks reform of US foreign aid to make it more efficient, more modern and more focused on ending global poverty.
Join us for a film screening of Good Fortune at the IMA on Thursday, September 30th at 7pm. The film explores how massive international efforts to alleviate poverty in Africa may be undermining the very communities they aim to benefit. The film poses questions about the intentions and methods of global philanthropy. The film is open to the public and ticket prices are $9 for the public, $5 for IMA Member and free entry for IUPUI students with ID. The film will also be followed by discussion.
The film screening is hosted by the IMA and the IUPUI Committee on African and African American Studies, with support from Provocate.org, Cold Spring Institute, The Village Experience, Indianapolis Oxfam Action Corps and the IUPUI Office of International Affairs. To learn more about the film visit the IMA website.
