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.
