Crazy Money
Steven Janssens
2020 - 93 min - Video Full HD - Couleur - Belgique

What happens if all the inhabitants of a Ugandan village suddenly receive a basic income for two years, not a single string attached? Can you dream without money? The answer lies in the inhabitants’ personal stories.
Their successes and tribulations illustrate the impact of one of the most daring projects in contemporary development cooperation. Their life stories unexpectedly prove to be all too familiar. They make us laugh. They move us.
Blending in together, they create a colorful and poetic reality portrait, illustrating the big consequences of a small sum of money.
