Four College Kids Try Living On $1 A Day

Say what you will about these college kids–that their 56-day adventure in poverty is an unescapable daily nightmare for most, that this documentary is yet another example of the West exploiting the poor for their own gain, what have you. Despite its obvious issues, the series (which can be found here) provides valuable insights into how 1.1 billion people live from day to day through a familiar–and therefore potentially more powerful–voice box. It’s worth a watch.
