Premiere of "What are we doing here?"

What are we doing here? is an important new documentary taking a desperately needed look at the status quo of foreign aid in Africa. The film follows three brothers and their cousin on a six-month journey from Cairo to Cape Town as they seek answers to all of the right questions... How is foreign aid spent? Who spends it? How is it delivered? Who benefits? When does it help and when does it harm?

Exposing the complicated and sometimes counterintuitive patchwork of aid, What are we doing here? is a must-see for anyone concerned with poverty relief and international development.

Don't miss one of the two screenings at the Landmark Uptown Theatre in Minneapolis on May 4th at 7 pm and May 6th at 11 am. The film will be followed by a discussion with the filmmakers and panellists. Complete details including ticket information is found on the What are we doing here? website.

Oxfam Action Corps - Minnesota is pleased to help promote these screenings. When you're at the theatre, pick up some information on Oxfam America's Aid Reform Campaign from an Action Corps volunteer. Although there is no formal relationship between the film and Oxfam America, the aid effectiveness campaign is advocating for lasting solutions to many of the problems highlighted in the movie. You can take action today by asking the U.S. House to pass the Foreign Assistance Reform Act. We hope to see you at the Landmark Theatre!
