www.christianaid.org.uk www.christianaid.org.uk Despite being the 7th largest producer of copper globally, Zambia is still desperately poor and struggles to meet the needs of its population. This film explores the mining industry in Zambia, and how suspected tax dodging by unscrupulous multinational companies is costing Zambia millions in lost revenue. At the same time it looks at the fledgling healthcare system, which can barely provide the medicines, staff or facilities to meet the needs of the average Zambian, let alone those living in desperate poverty. Christian Aid and its partners believe that tax dodging costs the developing world an estimated $160 billion each year in lost revenue — money that could be used to provide essential services such as education and healthcare. Together, we are campaigning for fairer and more transparent tax rules that work in favour of the poor, and could potentially help countries like Zambia to lift themselves out of poverty.
