Corruption in Africa,... enough seed for war???

A few months ago, while sitting at home watching tv,... I come across a documentary by Sorious Samura. He is an african domumentalist whose work has been widely recognised. Perhaps his first documentary on the civil war in Sierra Leone was one of the best as it showed the naked events of a brutal war.

This docuemntary about corruption is interesting, as right at the beggining Samura makes it clear that Kenia is or was the african country with some sort of long run stability and good economy and so on,... now most of that has gone to the waste,... and all for what?

Althought the documentary is done in several locations it makes the point of pointing out that corruption is an african widespread practice and furthemore that the poor are the ones paying that bill.

The poor have to pay for everything, even those good and services supposedly provided by the state. Not only they have to pay for receiving the 'international help' but also to work,... it is a moving documentary, maybe helpful to begin to understand what is happening in Kenia, Uganda, Zimbawe, en most of Africa.



I have just to clarify about quality of the video,... well I recorder from vhs to my computer, but have to use low quality in order for the file to be managable,.. in any case ,... please buy the original, and support one of the best african docuemntalist.
