Description
Its investment in global development programs tops $150 billion. It dwarfs other United Nations agencies both in size and scope. Yet until this two-hour program was filmed, no camera crew had ever been allowed access to the inner workings of the World Bank. This two-part documentary provides a rare glimpse into both the inner workings of the World Bank and its efforts to bring economic stability to Africa. A case study tracks the fortunes of proposed development projects in Uganda over a twelve-month period. Through it, we become privy to how decisions are made, who benefits and why, and what happens when World Bank and Ugandan policies clash. Actual footage of closed-door meetings and private conversations between officials provides insights into negotiations conducted at World Bank offices in Washington, DC, and in Uganda.
