Introduction
How do over 1 billion people across the world live on one dollar a day? Often times one dollar is stretched to provide shelter, food, medicine and clothing for a family of six or more. In comparison, the world’s 1,200+ billionaires make, on average, $273, 973 a day. That daily figure is more than 20 percent higher than what the world’s poorest citizens will ever make in their entire lifetimes. This great disparity in wealth is extremely alarming and worth much needed attention.
The documentary film Living on One Dollar follows the experiences of four friends as they live on less than one dollar a day for 56 days in rural Guatemala. They must battle many of the devastating elements that millions of people often have no escape from; the hunger, deplorable living conditions, illness and the realization that there are often no easy answers. This film is a sobering reminder of the incredible suffering that a vast majority of humanity must endure in this world of mass production and technological efficiency.
