Tom Jennings, an award-winning filmmaker for PBS Frontline, has a new documentary on the The New Yorker site called Rovina’s Choice, about a South Sudanese woman whose children lived in a refugee camp in Kenya, malnourished but surviving, until food aid had to be cut last year.
The film shows the human effects of Trump’s sudden, wholesale destruction of USAID. The foreign-aid organization had sent poverty and disaster relief all over the world for over sixty years — including to East Africa, a place I know something about.
