Jean Ziegler’s mission to Ethiopia. He must deal with daily malnutrition and commonplace deaths that don’t make the statistics because no one records them. We follow him to a village that cannot survive without food aid and where the only source of water is a polluted stream that causes serious illnesses, even death, among the many children who drink from it. This documentary, which follows this dedicated man and remains highly respectful of his contact with the population, provides a glimpse into the tragedy of malnutrition, a reality for 820 million people around the world, of whom 35 million die of hunger every year.
