Suits and Savages - Why the World Bank Won't Save the World| 37mins
Director: Dylan Howitt & Zoe Young | Producer: Zoe Young & Dylan Howitt
Focus Years: 2000 | Country: United Kingdom
Synopsis:
This film penetrates the smokescreen of a global bureaucracy. The Global Environment Facility (or GEF) looks promising on paper - with two and a half billion dollars from the world's governments to spend on global green aid, and an inclusive, democratic model of governance. But does this international financial institution live up to its own rhetoric, or must it reflect the politics of the economists who run it - from inside the World Bank? "Suits and Savages" looks at a GEF/World Bank "ecodevelopment" project from the ground up - traveling between one remote tribe in India and another, more powerful, in Washington DC. Spanning the gulf between their environments, the film features an emotional "video letter" from forest-dwellers to the World Bank, and a Bank economist's response.
