VIDEO:  The Faces of Poverty (Film Your Issue)
 
 
This is a documentary targeted towards the evils of poverty, demonstrating its devastating effects on the people of Mexico, and calls upon everyone to help end poverty world wide. It shows the faces of poverty and how each individual can join hands and together make a difference. My name is Abigail and I'm 18 years old and I'm ready to change those faces of poverty. I currently live in El Paso, Texas near the bordering country of Mexico.
