Film description:
GOOD FORTUNE explores how massive, international efforts to alleviate poverty in
Africa may be undermining the very communities they aim to benefit. Through
intimate portraits of two Kenyans battling to save their homes from large-scale
development organizations, the film presents a unique opportunity to experience
foreign aid through the eyes of the people it is intended to benefit.
