Summary:

Discusses U.S. donations of food for famine relief in foreign countries, through a case-study in Zambia, and the complex relationships between international aid, international media, American business and politics, and the impact on local agriculture, public health and international trade relations. Questions how America's well-intentioned foreign-aid program has spawned a self-serving relationship between humanitarian aid and American business and politics.
