Originally produced in 2013.
"How do 1.1 billion people around the world live on less than one dollar a day? Four young friends set out to research and live this reality. Armed with only a video camera and a desire to understand, they spend just 56 dollars each for 56 days in rural Pena Blanca, Guatemala. They battle E.Coli, financial stress, and the realization that there are no easy answers. Yet, the generosity and strength of their neighbors, Rosa, Anthony and Chino gives them resilient hope. They return home transformed and embark on a mission to share their new found understanding with other students, inspiring and challenging their generation to make a difference." -- IMDb.

Make a difference! submitted by leea on July 27, 2017, 4:20pm This movie show the poverty problems with the working poor. I hope it shows the upcoming generation how we could make a difference still. Appreciate the mother earth and what we had!!

Excellent! - Great for middle school submitted by TeacherN on July 3, 2021, 3:51pm I found this to be a fascinating documentary. I have shown it to 7th-grade World Geography students and it always generates a lot of discussion and empathy. We often donate money to kiva.org soon after watching.
