Description

We ask, “how do we alleviate poverty?” But the real question is, how do people create prosperity for their families and their communities? Poverty Cure is a six-episode DVD series on human flourishing. Three years in the making, this high-energy, 152-minute documentary-style series challenges conventional thinking and reframes the poverty debate around the creative capacity of the human person, made in the image of God. Listen to the voices of entrepreneurs, economists, political and religious leaders, missionaries, NGO workers, and everyday people as host Michael Matheson Miller travels around the world to discover the Christian foundations that allow human beings, families, and communities to thrive. The purpose of this series is to encounter our brothers and sisters in the developing world not merely as people in need, not as aid recipients, not as charity projects, but as human beings created in the image of God and endowed with His divine creative spark. The program argues for a shift in focus from aid to enterprise, from paternalism to partnerships, from poverty alleviation to real human flourishing.
