Storyline

The documentary reflects on the impacts of the development aid in Africa. With the help of three case studies from Mali, Kenia and Tansania it critics the results of development aid from the point of view of the africans.

500 billion US dollars in a half-century — and no end to the aid is in sight. Prominent "do-gooders" of the entertainment industry such as Bono, Bob Geldorf, Angelina Jolie and Madonna, pressure the politicians to pump more development aid into Africa. 
An ever-increasing number of African economic experts and sociologists have begun to criticise this flood of aid.
Our documentary film project follows the voices of protest that are being raised in Africa. Working in cooperation with scholars and journalists from West and East Africa, we will attempt to present the problems of development aid from an "African" perspective.
