So is some of the millions of dollars the movie earned going to go to uplift people, provide them with clean water and sanitary bathrooms and places to live?
Or did whitey just get rich off this and tell the brown-skinned poor to fuck off and die?
As I read this (and others like it), the kids got paid pretty lousy wages by Hollywood standards, and while they themselves are going to be given "proper" houses by the Indian government, it doesn't look like the studio is going to do much of value with its money (unless shamed into it by the media stink). It would be interesting to know how much, e.g. Danny Boyle personally will make from the project - he could help put pressure on the studio, presumably, but they're the ones with the $100mil.
