"The End of Poverty?" (2009) is a provocative documentary from the hands of award winning documentary maker Philippe Diaz.

The film shows that current poverty is no accident, but that it is in fact rooted in history. This history of conquest, slavery and colonization will be revisited in this documentary. The film does not only deal with the past, it will illustrate the connection of the past to the present in the form of unequal debt, trade and tax policy.

This evening is organized as a part of the Modern Slavery themed Photo exhibition 'Open your Eyes' that is to be seen @ Impulse from September 21st until October 11th.
