Hunger in the World
Explained to my son

Jean Ziegler, Swiss sociologist and United Nations food specialist, wrote the book on which this video is based 'because I didn't want my son to grow up blind without knowing the world as it is'. Ziegler has spent much of his life campaigning for an end to world hunger.

In an increasingly rich world, thirty million human beings die of hunger every year, and hundreds of millions are malnourished. The personal wealth of the fifteen richest people on the planet is equivalent to the gross domestic product of all the countries of Sub-Saharan African, and a child in the first world consumes as much as fifty children in the third world.

How is this possible? Why do we accept such a monstrous injustice? How can we even begin to explain such an absurdity?

The program explores regions of the world that have suffered catastrophes, natural disasters and famines, such as Somalia, Afghanistan, Cambodia or North Korea, whose governments subject their populations to the bitterest poverty. But importantly the video also shows men and women whose work it is to carry out development projects that not only are contributing to mitigating hunger, but are also managing to recover vast desert regions where, until very recently, life was impossible.
