Description

This years OXFAM scandal brought to light some serious questions for the international development community. At a time when aid agencies and charities are prone to seemingly widespread sexual abuse and impropriety, best-selling author and journalist Antony Loewenstein's new film Disaster Capitalism investigates whether the industry is exploiting development and aid funds to profiteer from growing inequality and poverty.

"Disaster Capitalism is a compelling documentary that goes inside Afghanistan, Haiti and Papua New Guinea to reveal the dark side of moneymakers and aid exploiters unafraid to make a killing from the misfortune of others. Antony Loewenstein joins award-winning film-maker Thor Neureiter on a six-year journey through the world of shady miners, resilient locals and secretive governments."

Following the screening the CIJ is pleased to welcome a panel of experts to discuss the film, and the operations of international development agencies and aid organisations.

Antony Loewenstein, Writer/co-producer of Disaster Capitalism.

Ala'a Shehabi, Deputy Director of the Institute for Global Prosperity at University College London and founder of Bahrain Watch.

Jason Hickel, Anthropologist, author of The Divide, Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and serves on the Labour Party task force on international development.
