Living on $1 a Day

Students at Claremont McKenna college, Chris Temple and Zach Ingrasci chose an unusual path to learn about and address global poverty.

In 2010, they left the comforts of their school and headed south to Guatemala to live on a dollar a day themselves. They did this for two reasons – to gain a deeper understanding of what the extreme poor go through and to make a documentary film that would engage other American youth. Now, they've finished a documentary, begun a tour, and launched a movement.
