[MONTRÉAL] Yesterday, I found an interesting video by Jason Brooks. He produced it during a visit in Juba, in May 2007. The interview-based short film considers the effect the massive presence of international non governmental organizations (NGOs) has on the development of South Sudan: inflation, cultural differences, living conditions, priotiry development, etc.
The population of Juba his increased exponentially since 2005 with returning refugees and internally displaced persons and with the influx of international aid workers to the city. Some of the interviews provide articulate insight into the local population’s perspective of the huge influx of foreign capital to the city and some of the hidden cultural effects of this capitalist development.
Shot on location in Juba, South Sudan in May 2007. This 20-minute version was submited for his Master’s of Arts dissertation in Visual Anthropology at Goldsmith’s College, London, Britain by Jason Brooks.
