White Charity

This film examines images of blackness & whiteness as seen in charity ad posters, and their impact on how Black and White identities in Germany are constructed. In Germany, billboards of charitable organizations such as 'Brot für die Welt', 'Welthungerhilfe' or 'Care' are omnipresent in streets, on squares, and train stations in Germany. This film analyses these charity aid posters from a post-colonial perspective within the general discourse of Self and Other, xenophobia and racism. Interviews with experts aid our understanding the complex history of colonialism and racism and examines White self-image of charity organizations.
