This short film by documentary filmmaker and award-winning author Gerard Thomas Strab is a photographic mediation on the plight of the poor and our responsibility to help. The film features more than 250 powerful and poignant B&W photographs from Mr. Strab's new book "When Did I See You Hungry?"

Gerard Thomas Strab spent months living among the poor in the impoverished sections of 29 cities in nine nations: India, Brazil, Kenya, Jamaica, the Philippines, Mexico, Italy, Canada, and United States. The Photographs document the life of the poorest of the poor in a startling and disquieting series of intensely personal, black and white photographs. Mr. Strab uses the camera as an instrument of contemplation, and his photographs, with wordless gentleness, allow us to see more closely things we know about but are not attentive to. More than just capturing the agony of life in the slums, Mr. Strab's photographs revewl the hidden humanity of the poor, their spirit of joy and will to survive.
