Save The Children: Crisis Thinking
In this mini documentary, Evelien and I (Hilde) had a closer look at a video published by Save the Children to ask for donations for fighting malnutrition in Somalia. We discuss crisis thinking, harmful discourses, a white saviour complex, and commodification of the black body. Our question remains: How ethical is crisis thinking?
Special thanks to our respondents for participating in the interviews.
This video is solely intended as an assignment for the course Researching Africa in the 21st Century taught by Mirjam de Bruijn.
