Towards the Privatisation of Development Aid?
Faced with the scale of global needs and tightening budgets in donor states, new private actors (investors, foundations and corporations) are playing a growing role in development financing. This shift is reshaping the traditional logic of aid and raises questions around governance, priorities and justice. At the same time, countries of the so-called Global South are increasingly challenging a model seen as asymmetric, calling instead for more balanced partnerships aligned with their own development strategies.

Free Money
In the village of Kogutu, Kenya, an unprecedented experiment is launched: the distribution of a universal basic income to all residents over a period of twelve years. Led by an NGO backed by Silicon Valley, the project aims to combat poverty. Yet as young economists monitor the outcomes of the initiative, the villagers see their lives transformed, for better and for worse. The film explores the social, economic and human upheavals of an utopia put to the test.
