The most basic right?

 

Featuring in the Melbourne Human Rights Arts & Film Festival, the film Good Fortune looks at the experience of two families living in extreme poverty.

The Global Poverty Project is offering one lucky blog reader the chance to win a double pass to see Good Fortune on Tuesday the 4th May at Cinema Nova in Melbourne.

To celebrate the inclusion of a development focused film in the Festival, and to raise awareness of the link between human rights and extreme poverty, we're asking you...

What is the most basic human right for people living in extreme poverty?

Leave your response in the comments section below to go into the draw. We'll announce the winner on Saturday the 1st of May. 


The Human Rights Arts & Film Festival is Australia's premier cultural event - devoted exclusively to the exploration of human rights issues through art and film. It showcases 43 of the most powerful, thought provoking and moving human rights feature films.

Good Fortune asks the question 'do international efforts to alleviate poverty in Africa actually benefit the communities they seek to help?' Landen Van Soest and Jeremy Levine follow the struggles of two courageous families in Kenya who confront large development projects that threaten their livelihood and their homes.To learn more about the issues we've raised, visit the Global Poverty Projevct Info- Bank.
