So let\u2019s look for places that have little inequality. Try Madagascar, the fourth largest island in the world with sandy beaches and the pure waters of the Indian Ocean. If there is little inequality there perhaps it\u2019s because 98% of the country live on less than $2 a day! And boy do they have children! Maybe those earning $2 a day are envied by those making $1.50, but it\u2019s probably unlikely that the 2% who make money are gobbling up almost all the wealth of the island.<\/p>\n<p>So how do you live on two bucks a day, supporting children, paying rent, eating mostly white rice? Not too well, and yet there are smiling faces that we see in Cam Cowan\u2019s documentary. This is Cowan\u2019s freshman entry, though his next feature, \u201cOpeka\u201d to be released in 2020, deals with a similar subject: how an Argentine priest is teaching people who live in a Madagascar landfill to build a functional city.<\/p>\n<p>In this mostly Catholic island that practices traditional religions as well, Pedro Opeka, a priest with a large white beard and shocks of snow-white hair complains that when he arrived to the island in 1970, the poverty rate was thirty percent, then became worse: in 2009 the rate hit ninety percent and by now it\u2019s even worse. So much for calling this part of the world a \u201cdeveloping nation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The name of the movie, \u201cMadagasikara,\u201d sound like something Disney would call it if that company were to set up a Disneyland of sorts, but instead it is simply the name that the local people of the island call their nation. Though there have been protests with populations marching on the capital city, there has been no civil war, no foreign expeditions of conquest, and no natural disasters.<\/p>\n<p>Then again, maybe a Trump-like poltician is responsible for some of the starvation there as one half of the children are malnourished, affecting their growth and intellectual potential. A rich guy who assumed the office of president despite losing an election (apparently the military supported him) aimed to sell off half of the good land to South Korean businesses. President Obama hit the land with sanctions, perhaps not realizing that Madagascar desperately needs foreign aid.<\/p>\n<p>However most of the film focuses on a few women, one of whom named Lin is busy raising seven children and one grandchild on, yes, under $2\/day. She takes in nine batches of laundry to earn the equivalent of 28 cents, which is 1,066 MGA or Malagasy Ariary. That gets her 2 cups of white rice, hardly enough to put meat on the bones of the kids and worth virtually nothing nutritionally.<\/p>\n<p>Deborah, another woman who once had to resort to sex work beginning at age 12, complains that some of the men do not even pay her and some even beat her up. And don\u2019t forget the wives of these \u201cmen,\u201d instead of beating the crap out of their husbands, took out their venom on the poor woman. She had determined to stay in school to become a lawyer, though I can barely think of what people would have the money to hire attorneys but had to drop out, now hoping that some of her offspring could do what she had been unable to. Not likely, though we do see one school with kids crammed on makeshift desks watching teacher put mathematical formulas on the board.<\/p>\n<p>A vocation that attracts some is breaking big rocks into small ones to make gravel, a task that looks similar to what U.S. prisoners on chain gangs had to do. The folks do not even wear gloves to protect their hands, nor can they presumably even afford them.<\/p>\n<p>The production team encourages people to make the long journey to what is called one of the most beautiful islands on earth, but at present there are few if any international hotels, though prices are incredibly low. The Anjiamaranco is $29 a night with free breakfast, the Sakamanga is $20. The most expensive hotel is about $350 a night. Now none of this is mentioned since the focus is on the lives of some women living without running water and presumably no toilets. Still the doc, in addition to enlightening us, may encourage us to look up most facts about this island in Wikipedia and to price hotels via Trip Advisor and Trivago. I also discovered, though not particularly dealt with, that the country provides the world with 80% of its vanilla and a majority of its cloves, while having coffee, lychees, shrimp and providing one half of the world\u2019s sapphires plus some titanium, chromite, coal, iron cobalt, copper and nickel.<\/p>\n<p>84 minutes. \u00a9 2020 by Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<\/p>\n<p>Story \u2013 B+<br \/>\nActing \u2013 B<br \/>\nTechnical \u2013 B<br \/>\nOverall \u2013 B<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MADAGASIKARA Global Digital Reviewed for Shockya.com &#038; BigAppleReviews.net linked from Rotten Tomatoes by: Harvey Karten Director: Cam Cowan Screenwriter: Cam Cowan Screened at: Critics\u2019 link, NYC, 6\/7\/20 Opens: June 26, 2020 Though Republican politicians in the U.S. don\u2019t know or don\u2019t care, the largest economic problem here is the inequality of income.
