Welcome to the World⎜WHY POVERTY?⎜(Documentary)

[@horizontal_____1]

I am a Japanese college student and studying International Politics. My professor advised me to watch this video and think about it. I'm so lucky to watch this valuable documentary because now I am sure that it would definitely effect my mission in life.

[@brooksanderson2599]

Ayaka Shimizu A wise and good man your professor.

[@compilationrex124]

That's good to hear

[@teekolinski491]

I hope you picked a major that pays a good salary.

[@carmay3600]

To carry a baby for so long dreaming of the day that you will meet him/her only to have it be delivered to you still born is beyond heart breaking.

[@laloveisbad88]

I cried like a baby hearing that little boy saying how he's going to take care of his mother and sisters. He's a damn baby! It broke my heart.

[@MUMMASCHILD]

+La Love it broke my heart also....i would fly from Australia to his country just to save him.....hes so beautiful.....wished his mother would think about contraception.....

[@kantirana3160]

i cried too like a baby seeing that lil Cambodian boy taking care his mother and sisters...god give him strength!

[@王丽阳]

+La Love I cried also T_T Wanted to fly from Europe to his country now..He was sort of stuck in a weird poverty loop: not enough education-cann't make much money-his children cann't afford education then...Felt sorry for him.

[@loveteeooms7693]

La Love at the moment my husband and me just hugged in tears😢😢😢. Aww poor baby. His heart is as pure as snow😍❤️. My God always bless him, his mother and his sister. Sadly his mom is Hiv positive😢

[@tsunderechild2777]

In many countries, it isn't the woman's choice whether or not she has kids

[@LD-cc2de]

this doco broke my heart!!the things we take for granted while other people struggle for it...

[@RahulKulkarniS]

That Doctor is so proud even though he is doing his job in Sierra Leone. He really has greener pastures awaiting for him outside his own country. But, he chooses to serve his own. I think that is what Patriotism is all about. You do not always need to pick up guns and go hunting humans in Middle East to be Patriotic! God Bless him!

[@HavanaSaint]

Rahul Kulkarni yes... God bless that sweet precious man!!!

[@yangguo343]

mycherierose If there is bless why people live in poverty?

[@MattBiden]

+Rahul Kulkarni Two sentences is all it took for you until you starting bashing America.

[@RahulKulkarniS]

Matt Biden I did not bash America! I just mean to say that there are different ways of expressing Patriotism. America is the country I like after India..so I won't bash either! ^_^

[@MattBiden]

Rahul Kulkarni Very well young urban demographic. The white man will let you slide on this one, but rest assure I will be watching for any anti-american comments.

[@ASartori86]

What wonderful job that Dr is doing in Sierra Leone. I felt so proud of that young Cambodian boy who said he would look after his sisters. I'm going to watch this with my 11 year old grandson, so that he can see how blessed we are in Australia. I want him to see the Cambodian boy, and what little he has. So that Billy can be thankful for having a mother who had both good pre-natal care and good food that helped him to grow to the almost 10 pounds he weighed at birth. For the education he receives, which will be way above that which the child in Cambodia would receive. Sometimes we don't think how much, or forget, just how MUCH we have in the 1st world. That 27 weeker born to the 13 year old mother, may have lived if she was born in the West. That country is beautiful, if only there could be a more equal distribution of wealth. The USA needs to lower its CSection rates, which have gone up exponentially during the last 25 years. I've read some REAL SHOCKERS of what happens when unnecessary CSections occur. Hence the increase in Maternal death. Great documentary!

[@nisha13139]

Its amazing how Neang, as poor as she is, adopted a child. So many of us who have a decent life would never consider it and we'd blame it on the harsh economy smh

[@YYBWDL]

Goes to show who really cares for children

[@serenaDM]

nthembe kenisha Ngalande yes that's what struck me the most. what a selfless woman to take that little girl in. Most wealthy people wouldn't commit to someone else's child.

[@apacademy]

Between nannies, boarding schools, and babysitters, many wealthy people don't even take care of THEIR OWN CHILDREN. That's why they don't know he's got 10 guns and 10 bombs he's building in the basement. THEY HAVEN'T SEEN HIM.

[@serenaDM]

cried my eyes out when that woman with the ruptured uterus and her baby died 😑😑 the fear in her eyes was heart breaking

[@sydneyjane9222]

Has the doctor in Sierra Leone received the Nobel peace prize or something yet? He sure as hell deserves it. Not only does he work his ass off for these women, but you can tell how emotionally involved and committed he is to these patients and his work. We pay athletes and entertainers so much money. These people deserve some of those fans and support too, not just in 'likes'(although that is nice too), they deserve some kind of luxuries, even if it is just work-related equipment and help for their clinics and workers.

[@msqn3270]

Born in Singapore, got a home, clothes, food & loving husband. Thank u God..

[@loveteeooms7693]

Awww I cried like a baby seeing the love and responsibilities of that adorable 12 year old Cambodian boy😢😢😢😭. May God keep providing for him and his sweet mother and sisters. Sadly the woman is HIV positive😢😢😢😢. My tears can't stop flowing😭😢😢😢

[@QueenAdvocate625]

[@tammenjnobaptiste]

YuorMomFcuk That's because you are carnally minded not spiritually minded. Your disregard for God will never take Him out of existence, and will never extinguish the eternal flame of His love for you dear one.

[@julioclp1994]

54:48 "I will have more children because I'm so poor, maybe one of my children will be somebody great" Can't believe it. Why do they think like this? How can the child be "somebody" if their parents can't give him food nor education? Great documentary, learned a lot watching it, and it changed my mind and my perspective about the world.

[@bavonmolly9566]

The Doctor in Sierra Leone and the entire team. . God bless you. . very very sad

[@amandatav]

The part where the 13 year old had the premature baby and it died just broke my heart.

[@becjust_bec5586]

I know so sad 😭

[@serenaDM]

Really Hard to See Babies die. It's Really hard that to see innocent Children broken, forced to become adults. It's really hard that we as a world Choose not to help the situation. Oh how I wish I could fulfil their needs. I really hate to see people suffer.

[@MegaBrandnewday]

God bless the Dr.& the staff who worked to try to save this woman's life. They are compassionate people who care about the human race.

[@lashinka2574]

That doctor, and all medical staff like him, are angels. Hope to aspire to be more like them.

[@Lonsoleil]

This has got to be the most depressing, morbid, and sickening documentary I've ever seen in my life. I'm sure I will be having nightmares tonight from seeing dead babies being cut frim their suffering mothers' wombs due to lack of medical services. But I'm glad I watched this cuz now I'm aware. I'm gonna send this vid to my friends and donate. I'm unemployed and can't donate much, but every little bit helps!

[@probliss2193]

watch earthlings..... then this documentary will seam heavenly

[@estrellaoverdijk7476]

Watch dominion. Both will look like a heaven

[@CT-mc3sy]

All these documentaries on poverty to spread awareness are incredibly valuable, but it makes me wonder what these producers have done to help improve the lives of those they chose to tell this story.

[@taniagudka1966]

I’ve just discovered this!!! Where have I been??? This was the best documentary I have seen in a long time. Thank you!! 😊😊😊

[@rubij1989]

watching this 8 months pregnant, feel like I'm going to pass out hearing them screaming in pain..... bad idea for me to watch this.

[@SapphiresWay]

After watching this made me realize how ignorant I have been especially when it comes to other parts of the world. I am so blessed for the things I have and I feel especially spoiled. I have not truly appreciated the things I have and the life I have. I wish I could do something but how and where would I start there has got to be a way I can help and others can even if its small if we all helped our fellow brothers and sisters this could change. This video really made me think. Thank you for sharing

[@veronicasmith274]

Thank you for creating this mind blowing documentary. It show how the lack of compassion & willingness to spread the wealth can lead to the death of a country all because those who are wealthy do not see they're responsibility to give back to their community & world.

[@sasharoberts1858]

I liked Pisey, determined to help his mother and sisters. I pray they get live better somehow in this crappy world.

[@aguynamedbob212]

Unlikely.

[@joaobangu6895]

Looks like a Lottery of life Children are born without free will, depending on the family and the country where born, they can have a full life or an empty passage, just to experience the worst suffering of human misery We are living in a very stupid world

[@carryclass]

with stupid people. having many children is a great luxury. I grew up in a middle class neighborhood. a big family had 3 children, a huge family was 4 children. In the poorer areas, a tiny family was 5 children, the norm was 8-10 children, and 12 + children was not unusual. having more children than one can support is one of the most antisocial things a person can do.

[@HH-xs2gm]

Is sad to see Americans with their new president killing off any hope to these problems. Americans are so selfish. So conservative. The once liberating America is dead.

[@schatzeeone6230]

H H Selfish? Oh please. We have a huge homeless population, our infrastructure is falling apart, we have a city where the water will kill you, our inner cities are like war zones, our education system is crap with kids graduating high school who can barely read, 59,000 Americans died of drug overdoses last year, our healthcare system sucks, etc. We have handed out billions in foreign aid, just to have it gobbled up by corrupt governments. We need to take care of our own before we worry about the rest of the world. A lot of Americans realize that, and that's exactly why Donald Trump won.

[@apacademy]

EXACTLY.... TO TAKE CARE OF "OUR OWN" BILLIONAIRES. YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT !!

[@MySnaz]

The problem is, and forgive me if this comes out wrong, I am working a night shift. But the problem is, some people have too much, some people have too little. The ones with too much don't want to share with those who don't have enough. The more you have , the more you feel you need.

[@blobbyblob2573]

MySnaz and the ones who have too little want to keep breeding irresponsibly

[@fntwister241]

[@Gingagirl]

You've brightened my day

[@lincolnthinking]

bless all care workers ~

[@monp.4903]

It doesn't help to have an attitude of ignorance like Hawa in 54:58 saying she will continue to have more babies so maybe one of her children will get her out of poverty. A problem not mentioned is the lack of men in the picture for all these babies, no problem making these babies but nowhere in sight to take care of them. Statistically, a single mother is 80% likely to stay in poverty. And with 16 million teen girls getting pregnant worldwide every year, with no education and no money, poverty will continue. The only person in this documentary that made me sad was the Cambodian boy picking trash, he had to work for his mom's irresponsabilities of getting knocked-up.

[@dawndeisig1895]

Monica Parra We aren't told how she became "knocked up". Might not have been her choice.

[@7101jy]

+Dawn Deisig That's right. For all we know, it could have been her abusive ex-husband who gave her HIV and could have made her pregnant. A lot of women around the world live in situations where they have no autonomy over their lives as human beings let alone, their sexuality. Sadly, there are just too many strings holding them back from breaking out of such situations and the society's tend condone it.

[@tashw7941]

+Monica Parra i thought she said she will have more children because she is POOR ( 17% of the country is on contraception i doubt the poor are offered it). also out of the children she has she hopes at least one is successful , As any parent would wish. i find your words a bit harsh (not sure why) but living in absolute poverty with a husband that I'm assuming is not going to take "no honey I'm not in the mood" for a decade or more very well.

[@tashw7941]

+Monica Parra i don't know what kind of life you live ,but by the way you just classify a person as ignorant without firsthand knowledge of them or how they are beyond this documentary is sad. i hope you never suffer this type or any type of pain or turmoil and be judge by someone looking in.

[@inzoria7727]

+Tash W Ok not having sex is contraception. Pulling out is contraception. Focusing on the kids you cant feed instead of having sex is contraception. If my kids are unhappy and hungry im not going to be thinking about a orgasm. She should be focused on bettering herself and preparing her kids for the rough road ahead rather then imagining having more hoping over 20 yrs from then one will take her out of poverty. Shes saying SHE GIVES UP wth is she gonna be doing until one makes it. Who are they going to look up to.. to be influenced to do better. Stop trying to fix that ignorant comment she played herself saying

[@ruchiradietu]

its really funny that many of us fight to resist study while many others are dying to have it...

[@vout2970]

I am asian and sometimes I resent asian men, seems like the little cambodian boy is the man of the family. God bless you!

[@shaylastephenson4721]

It is very ignorant of many you saying how these women should "just stop having babies" they can't take of etc. Perhaps in countries like America...I can see your point. That being said, in other third world countries, many women don't have THAT CHOICE to make and have no availability whatsoever to birth control. It's easy to judge when we sit in our nice comfortable living rooms on our laptops while ordering a pizza! Their lives are so different and so far removed from our world that we can't begin to imagine what they go through just to survive on a daily basis. And as far as the American woman goes...we shouldn't judge her either. She's obviously going through a tough time and said that all she needed was a hand up and not a handout! I hope none of you ever fall on hard times and need the help of others! Your lives may not always be picture perfect and one day it could be YOU. Remember that.

[@Trickytrickify]

There is so much poverty in the world because among the wealthy and powerful elite there are people who want it that way. - Jim Marrs - reporter, author and commentator.

[@AidaExplorer]

Puglous hello! Thanks for the recommendation, I just read the article and there is so much truth in it... but also looks quite impossible to make it happen since we live in a selfish society that ignores poverty. I often think about solutions, but they seem not effective enough since people will not follow me. I live in Thailand and I see unfair things everyday... I believe change is only possible through education and politics. If we educate our children in a different way and we show them the truth, there might be hope, but also Politicians need to stop being corrupt and selfish bastards. If I donate and help people in a direct way is because of my education, we can increase the number of concern and donations by letting the world know that we can actually change things. I just see it's so hard and almost impossible to do since not everyone cares... sorry about the long comment, maybe I didn't explain myself properly... and thanks for reading

[@AidaExplorer]

Puglous thanks for the comment, I learnt a lot

[@skywriting33]

+Puglous I like your ideas and passion. I recently listened to an author (sorry, his name escapes me at the moment) who was raised in Guyana tell of his experience growing up in poverty before immigrating to America. He said he loved growing up in his village, the people were very poor but there was a real sense of belonging and community. If a family was going through hard times they could always depend on the generosity of neighbours, even though they also had very little. Then, as a young man, he moved to the States and he said for the first time in his life he felt poor. When everyone around you has basically the same as everyone else one doesn't think in material terms, it's about the people not things. In contrast, while in America he saw in person, in print, on tv, all things he didn't have. He saw others make obtaining these things a real focus and priority because the people who didn't have these things were treated as less than. I think it's a powerful observation.

[@vickyhv89]

Puglous thank you for your insight.I will be reading that article.

[@blobbyblob2573]

B1RD3Y B1RD3Y while I agree with what you've said...why do they keep repeating the same cycle why keep breeding?

[@jasonjames4254]

Graft, corruption, and failure to share wealth, certainly contributes to poverty. BUT it is NOT the real cause of poverty in the third world. The root cause of poverty in third world is HIGH BIRTH RATES, and OVERPOPULATION! This is caused by ignorance, culture, and intentional stupidity. Sharing wealth with poor people depicted in the video will only create MORE human suffering. What they really need is family planning, contraception, and sterilization. ONLY then will poverty programs produce results. That should be abundantly clear from watching this video. At about 54:50 minutes into the video we hear the African woman say, "I WILL HAVE MORE CHILDREN BECAUSE i AM SO POOR. MAYBE ONE OF MY CHILDREN WILL BE SOMEBODY GREAT, AND REDEEM ME FROM POVERTY." Having more children when you have no resources is child abuse!

The one word that comes to mind after watching this documentary is sadness. I know I say this all the time to myself, "... I should never complain about anything in life because I have access to so much and take so much for granted." My country has its faults, but I'm glad I can say I am a United States citizen, particularly being a woman, being woman that has access to healthcare, a woman that can work and make life better for herself and future children.

[@AmandaOnData]

This is an absolutely shocking documentary. 1 in 23 women in Sierra Leone will die from a result of pregnancy. The babies who are born into some of these poverty stricken areas and survive the first year, have very little hope for the future. So much preventable suffering. A few parts are quite gruesome, and hard to stomach.

[@salenebrom6476]

Not in areas where wemen are treated like cattle married off and not allowed to tell there husband no take this into consideration please before sounding uneducated

[@JacquelineHoman]

+Amanda J Williamson That''s what the US was like for women as recently as 1950 because of women not having the legal right to, nor the access to, reliable contraception and safe legal abortion. Except for rich women-they always were able to get the contraception and safe abortion care they needed. Poor women, nope.

[@sugarwells20]

we all should be able to have as many children as we can. its our rights as living beings.

[@cloudweaving]

Pisey is my hero.

[@ludwigvanbeethoven5005]

The reason why there is so much poverty is because politicians run their respective Countries for the benefit of the richest - it is always the rich first and everybody else comes second. If you're unlucky enough to be one of the jobless, sick or disabled, you don't even rate as second best, you're considered to be much lower. Just trying to find a politician who cares more about the people than his rich mates is like trying to find a horse that speaks English. It is the rulers of the World who are responsible for poverty - the sooner we stick them all on a space ship and send them (and their psychopathic Big Business cronies) into Outer Space, the happier we will all be.

[@carryclass]

In the United States the poor and disabled are taken care of better than anywhere else in the world. that is why the world's poor want to come here. the cause of poverty is not political. people having children they can not afford to support is the cause of poverty.

[@ludwigvanbeethoven5005]

***** I totally agree with you. The World's Super Elite are actually worth trillions not billions. Rothschild has an estimated personal fortune of around 700 trillion, and the Queen 33 trillion. These people could wipe out World poverty overnight if they wanted to, and they'd still have trillions left in their bank accounts. They make me sick the way they pretend to care. I wouldn't mind but most of the super rich are old to boot, and even though they're coming to the end of the road, they're still so insensitive, avaricious and greedy.

[@loverrlee]

***** Greed is the root of all evil. I am not a religious person in the truest sense of the word, but I do deeply care about ALL people and think that everyone should have the bare minimum to survive. I want to make it my life's work to figure out a way to infiltrate this system of greed and start actually giving back for a change (the trick is to not let those who are the most greedy know your true intentions, because those who horde trillions of dollars might think that Gandhi the evil one). I want to use my education and talent to invent something that can improve the lives of those in these so called "third world" countries.

[@ajallen9674]

Good idea, but what will happen when a new class of rulers springs up? You can't get rid of people in power, because the next richest class will just step up to replace them. This is the result of every revolution in history. Here's how it works: first you have a large number of oppressed people and a few rulers. Then a revolt starts. Now, there are always leaders at the front of the revolt, watch out for them. When the ruling class is overthrown, the people who led the revolution and have the most resources become rulers. They then oppress the majority. Thus in essence, the world is the same as before.

[@littlelulu5675]

i do not think being rich is the problem.....to have a heart that is moral is what is lacking in rulers alot

[@inzoria7727]

The little boy in the end (Pisey) is gonna be blessed. His heart is shining all around him graciously. I know he took it hard when lyly passed because he looked his happiest when playing with her and his sis. I love him and its sad because hes taking on the man position of the family making it his business to get everything done. God is building him to be a strong soldier. That one hospital that specializes in difficult pregnancies needs to stop throwing babies around. (5:50)

[@becjust_bec5586]

don't really care about the American side of the stories! I mean at least they get free shit given to them just like that. the most part that touches my heart was "pisey" the 12 years old boy! 😭 so sad to see him growing up and had to go through this lifestyle 😕

[@katsan88]

I agree with the doctor. The problem is the lack of distribution of resources in this world. Look at the US and how is that this country with so many resources has the highest birth rate in the world? How are we proud of a country that allows this? and yet we boast to the world that we are the greatest democracy in the world? One that lets its children grow up in shelters, and not have access to a quality education.

doctors without frotiers...respect them a lot..I saw a documentary how a doctor and his team fought the radical soldiers and saw massacres...but they stuck to their guns and finished the job they were su pposed to do

[@voiceofinfp]

most heart breaking video i've ever watched!

[@cinyaca]

People making "light" of this video are fucking sick ass people. Imagine if you had to live like this. Who in God's name would want to live like this? It makes me grateful that despite my father being born in Nigeria, I was born right here in America. I see now how lucky I am when I see a video like this.

[@cinyaca]

Kould B I'm a fool because I think making light of poverty is disgusting? Umm... okay. =/ To be honest, I thought your reply was somewhat diplomatic until I read the last sentence. I never said anything about people breeding so I don't know where that it came from. I, myself, don't have kids and I believe that if you can't take care of yourself you shouldn't have kids either. However, that's not what I was even talking about in my comment so I don't know what specifically you think you're replying to.

[@cinyaca]

Kould B Again, I disagree with you. There are people who encourage poverty because there are people who heavily profit from the suffering of others. And like I said before... those who make light of poverty are Sick Ass People.

[@cinyaca]

***** It's okay. To "make light" of something means to view it as something that's a joke or not to be taken seriously.

[@imatcarletonuni]

This documentary shows the dark side of reality. Thank you so much for sharing this with the world. I am deeply moved and want to give to the poor and the orphaned with all my heart. Please show us more, of the truth.

[@johnyblaze3020]

im poor you can give to me?

[@imatcarletonuni]

You are not poor.

[@Belle2505]

Johny Blaze you wouldn't know what being poor is like...be thankful for what you have!

[@lisamarie6548]

"If I lived in one of those really impoverished countries I would try to find a way to get sterilized" Yeah, RIGHT!! A tubal ligation is $5,000. I bet living in an impoverished area you would have $5,000 cash for an elective surgery. Give me a break.

[@blueyedhusky]

This is ridiculous. You can't hear the narrative because of the "background" music. It's called BACKGROUND for a reason!!!

[@Moe-nm4nv]

I don't hear it..

[@livcromwell9538]

This documentary is very sad. I cried too many times. Bless those doctors and nurses working in Africa, most likely working for pennies, helping those unfortunate woman.

[@Trickytrickify]

Such a good boy 12 years old already has a responsibility to replace dad 😢

[@eratoisyourmuse659]

What, the same God that put these women in these situations to begin with..? Your god, if he exists, is a sadistic asshole.

[@jamier3089]

[@nitaynunez7555]

[@jaydencolour1072]

And for those who say being able to have children is not a right its a luxury, it is not a luxury it is a blessing. God/ mother nature has decided that some poor person somewhere else in the world or in your neighborhood who make a more caring & loving parent than you and would bring up a more well rounded child than you ever could and probably out of that person lineage someone or something great will happen.

[@Joke9972]

Food is wasted by the tons, just to have the prices kept at a certain level. Ships filled with wheat are floating on the Mideterranean, and only 'released' by Wall Street, when wheat prices are sufficient enough to do so. Mass production makes everything so plentiful, that the problem of shortage of supply is compensated by shortage of money.

[@carolynmccollins4145]

I'm soo soo sad looking at the conditions that they live, forded to have babies at very Early ages.Makes me cry uncontrollable.Something needs to be done to Help

[@MultiManono]

my heart broke down for all the women who die in Labour, their little kids who just die as well.

[@lysagreen2314]

As an American, living in the richest country on earth, it breaks my heart to know that convicted prisoners live better than the homeless, and poorest in our country. It is a travesty that prisoners are housed, fed and protected, at tax payers expense, while the poor, and homeless are neglected, scorned, blamed, and ignored. Why is it okay in America, for children to be born homeless, be hungry, and die in America?

[@TheICEgirl6100]

america s not the richest country on earth, lmao

[@roxanclark5254]

BH unfortunately birth control is not free and not most of the time these births occurs because the rights of women in these countries are low. They must fulfill the wishes of men or suffer their wrath. We need to educate women to help them realize they have rights and support the women through the education til the end. It is proven when you educate a women the birth rate lowers, child poverty decreases and so does crime.

[@magnificent6668]

You said it ---the males in these countries control what little money there is, and only value placed on women is being breeding machines for men.

[@kaygeeRandomness]

Go Pisey! I hope that you're having a great time at school, and I'm happy that your mom is working now too!

[@anuradhabiswas7324]

When I read about celebrity babies getting gold rocking horses as gifts and I think life is truly an wonderland for children but when we see such circumstances where boys like Pisey are being adult at such a tender age ... Mothers dying , babies being guest for a few minutes then I really think what kind of world we live in?? Why such a huge gap is there ? Why can't we share a little and make this world a better place for every baby that born irrespective of class creed and community . Is it so hard??????

[@ambiencefirst]

There are heroes of everyday. Thank God

[@zararatcliff5113]

Why poverty? because you have poor parents. Why your parents are poor? maybe because you have poor grand parents. Stupid question.

[@blobbyblob2573]

zara ratcliff and yet they continue the cycle

[@zararatcliff5113]

Yes. Unless one generation breaks the cycle. But if you keep having many babies, it is hard to break the cycle. When you have less babies, you can direct all your resource to him/her to be a better person. When he /she becomes successful, the cycle is broken..
