 ****..EXCELLENT”

 “…should be required viewing by every politician in the world.”

Eric Monder, Film Journal International

 “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.”

Louis Proyect, The Unrepentant Marxist

 Filmmaker Philippe Diaz on Amy Goodman’s DemocracyNOW!

Challenging 500 years of globalization…”

-          Lucy Komisar, The Komisar Scoop

 

 

 

SOLD OUT shows and garnering #1 box office in NYC at City Cinemas Village East beating out Disney’s ‘A Christmas Carol’ starring Jim Carrey!

 

Narrated by Martin Sheen, The End of Poverty? is a daring, thought-provoking and very timely documentary by award-winning filmmaker, Philippe Diaz, revealing that poverty is not an accident. It began with military conquest, slavery and colonization that resulted in forced labor and the seizure of land and minerals. Today, global poverty has reached new levels because of unfair debt, trade and tax policies — in other words, wealthy countries exploiting the weaknesses of poor, developing countries.

 

The End of Poverty? asks why today 20% of the planet’s population uses 80% of its resources and consumes 30% more than the planet can regenerate? Can we really end poverty within our current economic system? Think again.
