- Summary:
- Niger is a landlocked country in West Africa, which constantly struggles with the problems of overpopulation and food shortages. One of the poorest countries in the world, Niger is often the focus of controversy as to how world organizations handle food crises. In this program, independent filmmaker Daniel Balluff enlists the aid of local guides, including Moussa Hima, Amadou Windi and Illiannou Loko, to present an eye-opening look at this fascinating African republic, while objectively examining the reasons for cyclical food shortage and exploring potential solutions proposed by development and relief experts, such as John Roche, Karl Erdmann and Issifou Montari.
