<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">The debt burden of southern
countries is still a tool for the rich world to control the poor world.
"Debt cancellation" from the G8 have failed. However, Norway
unilaterally cancelled some of the unjust debt owed to it by developing
countries and Ecuador is now auditing its debts. Activists across Europe need
to build on these initiatives if we are to eradicate the injustice of debt once
and for all.</span></p>

incomes of people in Europe decline. Access to food becomes again a social
issue in Europe. Consumers pay increasingly high prices for food, while peasant
and family farmers in Europe continue to struggle for survival. We will
consider who benefits from exploding food prices, what the root causes are and
how new alliances between farmers and consumers can be built.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">With so much wealth in the world,
why is there still so much poverty ? Looking beyond the orthodox discourse this
film, narrated by Martin Sheen, travels from the Barrios of Latin America to
the slums of Africa to explore how the true cause of poverty stems from actions
taken during and since colonial times to perpetuate exploitation. Leading economists,
politicians and social movement activists explain how rich nations are
plundering the planet, thus creating more inequality and poverty, and further
jeopardizing sustainability. <a href="http://www.Theendofpoverty.com">www.Theendofpoverty.com</a></span></p>
