Give Us the Money. How Do You Change the World?
Description
From Live Aid to Drop the Debt, celebrities have become warriors in the fight against poverty. But have their efforts really made a difference? In this program, Bob Geldof, Bono, and Bill Gates speak candidly about the lobbying, strategizing, and backroom deals involved in their decades of activism, and about the valuable political currency of being a star. The video goes behind the scenes of some humanitarian crusades associated with rock musicians, including Bono's advocacy for debt relief and Geldof's Make Poverty History coalition, and investigates the successes, challenges, and legacies of these campaigns. A viewable/printable instructor's guide is available online.
