Filmmakers Brandon, Nicholas, Daniel and Tim Klein (3 brothers and a cousin) travel overland from Cairo-to-Cape Town, across 12 countries, transporting viewers to aid projects on the ground as they explore some of the most important (and most misunderstood) issues in the world; issues of poverty that effects hundreds of millions of people across Africa. The filmmakers hear firsthand how foreign aid inadvertently prolonged the genocide in Rwanda and how food aid may actually increase famine and hunger. The filmmakers look at the root causes of famine as they follow a Kenyan TV, CNN award winning journalist as she covers the 'annual' famine in Kenya. This film challenges the world's understanding of Africa, and poverty, asking the question: why is this incredible continent still impoverished after billions of dollars in foreign assistance?

What an original documentary. The way the filmmakers addressed such an important issue through the opinions of Africans as well as their own travel story was excellent. Both entertaining and informative, i would highly recommend this film.
