Why do half of the world’s children live in grinding poverty? The Same Heart features a growing number of global economists and moral leaders who agree that an extremely small financial transactions tax, the “Robin Hood Tax,” could place the needs of all children at the heart of the global financial system for the first time. Suggesting a sustainable approach, The Same Heart follows a dynamic Kenyan community organizer who devotes his life to making programs work from the bottom up.
Hosting this beautiful film that was just hailed at this year’s Nobel Peace Prize Forum, islander Charlayne Hunter-Gault, award-winning journalist and the first woman of color to attend the University of Georgia, will introduce The Same Heart and moderate a Q&A with the filmmakers after the screening.
Charlayne Hunter-Gault is an award-winning journalist and author.
Hunter-Gault joined NPR in 1997 after 20 years with PBS, where she worked as a national correspondent for The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer. She joined CNN in April 1999 from National Public Radio, where she worked as the network’s chief correspondent in Africa and was awarded a Peabody in 1998 for her coverage of the continent. In 2005, Hunter-Gault returned to NPR as a Special Correspondent. She began her journalism career as a reporter for The New Yorker; then worked as a local news anchor for WRC-TV in Washington, D.C.; and as the Harlem bureau chief for The New York Times.
