When a country is in crisis, the world responds with aid and development, but how much of that money reaches the real people in need? And how is it diverted to serve surprising ends? Disaster Capitalism is an explosive documentary that goes inside Afghanistan, Haiti and Papua New Guinea to reveal the dark side of moneymakers and aid exploiters unafraid to make a killing from the misfortune of others. Best-selling journalist and author Antony Loewenstein joins award-winning filmmaker Thor Neureiter on a four-year journey through the world of shady miners, resilient locals and secretive governments.
