The Jury’s comments:
This video is the epitome of ‘poverty pornography’ as it focuses solely on the bare lives of the suffering children and fetishizes their bodies (e.g. their swollen bellies because of starvation). It presents people in the South as helpless and unable to overcome their sufferings without help from the outside. 

The Jury’s comments:
The video presents children as passive and helpless victims. Rather than focusing on local agency and initiatve, it tells that their suffering can easily be solved by Western donors. The children are depicted as mere objects without any context.

The Jury’s comments:
This video promotes deep-rooted perceptions of Western superiority over the South. It reinforces the white savior complex, and depicts that there is nothing the parents can do for their children other than to wait for the sponsor who can save their lives and their future.
