Film Description

Niger: Living on the Edge of Survival is a 62 minute documentary about the Niger food crises of 2005.

Niger, West Africa is the poorest country in the world yet it possesses a wide variety of beautiful landscapes, cultures, and wildlife. In 2004, low rainfall and a locus invasion combined to create wide-spread hunger, malnutrition, and starvation.

This documentary examines the reasons for the cyclical food shortages and explores the potential solutions proposed by development and relief experts living in Niger. This film is being distributed by Chip Taylor Communications.
