- Summary:
- 'Ours is the very first generation in history that had the possibility and the ability to feed every hungry person on earth,' says Professor Adil Najam. 'We had the technology, we had the food -- we just didn't have the will. And that's where the MDGs come in.' At the turn of the new millennium, the world looked forward to an end to absolute poverty, avoidable disease, oppression of women and children without education. The United Nations embodied these hopes in a series of eight targets -- the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). This introductory program to the series intercuts sequences from China, Bangladesh, Jamaica, India, Sri Lanka, Zambia and Ethiopia with comment from key academics and activists, to explore the ambition and scope of each of the individual MDGs, and the obstacles to their achievement.
