Synopsis: This World Food Day is marked by one of the worst famines in recent history. But, with the right planning a few new ideas, it could be the last. Get the latest from the Horn of Africa and beyond in this special report from Oxfam America and ViewChange.org.
Opinion:
- Great introduction to Oxfam (at least our international work)
- Could be perceived as an advertisement for Oxfam
- Effectively addresses small-scale farmers, work for insurance, managing risk, Rural Resilience Initiative
- No consistent narrator/titles
- Jumps from famine to Vietnam-- slightly disjointed
Recommendation:
- Show for: People not yet familiar with Oxfam's work
- Use as auxiliary component to events
- Break down the video into parts
- Perhaps end with "Is microinsurance the silver bullet..." to lead into a discussion of how it is not a silver bullet
