Could you live on $1 per day? An interview with a man who tried

I WAS FORTUNATE enough to grab a quick interview with Chris Temple, whose project Living on One is pushing boundaries not only in the world of filmmaking but also in international aid and development.

In the summer of 2010, Chris and three of his friends from university embarked on a project of living on $1 per day in rural Guatemalan village. Armed with cameras and questions, the team entered into a world of extreme poverty. To share their story with friends and people back home, they released short YouTube videos about their experience. The videos quickly received over 700,000 views, inspiring Chris and his team to produce a full-length feature film, Living on One Dollar. The film has since won Best Documentary at the Sonoma International Film Festival and received endorsements from Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus, USAID Administrator Rajiv Shah, and Hunger Games director Gary Ross.

You were discussing subjects such as finance, a touchy conversation to have regardless of the culture. Were there any times during the project where conversation was uncomfortable?

When we first got to the village a lot of the community members were very confused as to why we wanted to live in this ‘mud hut.’ Why we wanted to be here for eight weeks.

This is a key part that I think journalism often forgets, is when you go in for a news piece and you stick a camera in someones’ face and ask them personal questions, you know, why would they ever tell you the reality of their lives or their stories?

Imagine if someone came and knocked on my door, right now, and asked me — Where do I save my money? Where do I hide my money? How much money do I make? There is no way I would ever tell anyone that kind of information.

It was the kids who were our first introduction to everyone. This is what really started to build our relationships. Throughout this time, during the first two weeks, we didn’t even bring our cameras. We were just there, living, making friends, not filming.
