WBAI producer, Gary Null, has won a prestigious Award of Excellence from the IndieFEST Film Awards. The award was given for the exciting documentary, Poverty Inc., which examines the influence of corporate globalization and exposing the destructive nature of our modern financial system. Poverty Inc. offers a sobering look into how the predatory economic policies instituted by America's new elite class have contributed to the nation's descent into Third World status. Engrossing in-depth interviews with some of the world's finest economists, progressive politicians, investigative reporters and philosophers, as well as the voices of America's downtrodden reveal the terrifying threats posed by unregulated capitalism and corporate power.
