Is this journalism, art, documentary, advocacy

or just really creepy?

Maybe all the above but it certainly made duckrabbit think.

Val:

too dark… and creepy. what do I do about it? hang myself for being so privileged? give money to charity that is going to be spent mainly in administrative cost rather than get to these people? isn’t it time to educate the rich through the media about how they can share better rather than throw pictures of misery in our faces. Why are these people not better cared for by their government?

Bill:

I disagree with Val. I admit the images are stark but that is the world of India and a lot of the world. As a citizen of the developed world, awareness of what the rest of the world lives like, can inform me in many ways. I Thought Dai did a great job of not sweat coating the realities.

Dai perhaps you’d like to answer?
