On Friday 22 November at 7pm we will be hosting the screening of The Do Gooders, followed by a Q&A with director Chloe Ruthven and protagonist Lubna Masarwa. Ruthven’s grandparents were aid workers in Palestine. Growing up, she avoided getting too involved in the subject, recalling how mention of it made all the adults in her life angry. Inspired by a book written by her grandmother about the aid projects in Palestine, Ruthven explores the effects of foreign aid and the potential damage the continued reliance may have for the future. The film features interviews with international aid workers, Palestinian project managers, Western volunteers, local farmers and videos of Ruthven’s grandparents at the time.
