Dear Colleagues:
Many of you responded to this inquiry (a few suggesting films, many asking for suggestions to be passed forward). I've therefore put together a blog post on films relating to power and privilege in development planning - along with links to other social justice film resources. Here's the post: Power, Privilege, and Film. I'll also follow-up on that site in the future with an additional post on power, privilege, and representation in film - a related and challenging topic.
All the best,
Eric

Dear Colleagues:
Yesterday I was planning to write you in search of suggestions for films that portray the unintended consequences that often come with development efforts planned and executed from un-reflective positions of power and privilege. I'm aware of Darwin's Nightmare focusing on Tanzania / Lake Victoria, but I am seeking other films that specifically address power and privilege in development / service as part of the narrative. This could be power and privilege in domestic or international contexts. I'd deeply appreciate any suggestions.
Ironically, I got distracted yesterday by the firestorm of controversy around the recent release of the Invisible Children Advocacy Film, Kony 2012. I say ironically because at the end of the day so much of the controversy relates to power and privilege within advocacy and film-making itself. I've assembled some resources and reflections on the topic under Joseph Kony and Invisible Children Top the Charts.
All the best to all of you - may we all find ways to honor International Women's Day!
