Good Fortune

I was fortunate enough to catch a fantastic, thought provoking documentary courtesy of PBS and POV, entitled, "Good Fortune," which traces two examples of "development" in Kenya through the eyes of both the "developers" and the "developees." The film brought to light many of the moral and political issues involved with poverty alleviation; seldom are there black and white, cut and dry issues when dealing with the human condition and human variables; this film shed some brilliant light onto some of these human predicaments.
