From Global Voices: an examination of chronic poverty, its causes and why it has always existed, through a series of eight films that address a timeless question.
In November 2012, seventy million national broadcasters around the world shared the Why Poverty? series to raise awareness about this ongoing problem. The effort raised awareness and won the producers a Peabody Award for their exploration of aspects of that human condition historically and here and now.
It was originally broadcast in Boston on WGBH World.
