Artist interview: filmmaker Tom Nazario, director/producer of Living on a Dollar a Day

Living on a Dollar a Day is produced by the non-profit organization, The Forgotten International. Their mission is to develop programs that alleviate poverty and the suffering associated with poverty both in the United States and worldwide, in particular, that experienced by women and children.

Over the course of a year, from 2010 to 2011, The Forgotten International sent Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Renée C. Byer and videographer George Rosenfeld on a journey to ten countries on four continents to examine and report on how the world’s poor often survive on less than a dollar a day.
