Film to Probe Poverty
Later this year, I'll be traveling to Uganda with a program that's part of Notre Dame's Kellogg Institute for International Studies. The program works with a small village outside of Kampala, Uganda. I'll be there for two weeks this summer and three months in the fall, forming relations with the people living there, and making a documentary film for my senior thesis project.
In my film, I want to examine the idea of solidarity across the world. Christianity teaches that we are all created and equally loved by the one living God; why must we make it so that some have so much material wealth while others have so little? I hope to create a film that lifts up the people in Uganda and examines solidarity and poverty in a way that makes the viewer really reconsider preconceived notions.
