| Dear Friends,
BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND…The End of Poverty? is now playing in NYC thru Feb 11th! If you missed it the first time, this powerful documentary will open at Cinema Village starting January 29 for at least two weeks! As some you may know, we had capacity crowds and sold out shows with people sneaking in and sitting on the ground to listen to the Q&As! “****…Excellent” - Kam Williams, NewsBlaze.com “POWERFUL” - Andrew O’Hehir, Salon.com “A blistering probe into historical and enduring capitalistic manipulation and the type of systemic exploitation and subjugation that most Americans consider ancient past.” – Wayne Trujillo, Huffington Post “…for all of the film’s sober analysis, Diaz never loses sight of the human cost of global capitalism.” - Andrew Schenker, The Village Voice
“…should be required viewing by every politician in the world.” - Eric Monder, Film Journal International As we return to New York, we hope that you will help us spread the word to encourage people to see the film and start thinking, talking then acting on true reasons for poverty. Global poverty will only end once solutions based on economic justice, and not charity, become the mandate. Organize a group over opening weekend (showtimes listed below). Director Philippe Diaz plus other guests will be at the main evening shows on Fri (1/29), Sat 1/30 and the matinee on Sun (1/31): (Groups of 30 to 39 = $8/ticket, Groups of 40 or more = $6/ticket).

Thank you again for all of your support. Narrated by Martin Sheen, The End of Poverty? is a daring, thought-provoking and very timely documentary by award-winning filmmaker, Philippe Diaz, revealing that poverty is not an accident. It began with military conquest, slavery and colonization that resulted in forced labor and the seizure of land and minerals. Today, global poverty has reached new levels because of unfair debt, trade and tax policies — in other words, wealthy countries exploiting the weaknesses of poor, developing countries. The End of Poverty? asks why today 20% of the planet’s population uses 80% of its resources and consumes 30% more than the planet can regenerate? Can we really end poverty within our current economic system? Think again. At Cinema Village thru Feb 11! Cinema Village 22 East 12th Street New York, NY 10003 (212) 924-3363 Showtimes Daily: 12:45pm, 2:55pm, 5:05pm, 7:20pm, 10:00pm General Admission: $11.00/Students (with valid ID): $8.00/Seniors (65 & older, with ID): $6.00
