IRIN Humanitarian News

Set against the background of a global economic crisis that has hit media houses and broadcasters hard, and which has resulted in relentless cost-cutting by private sector media, the world’s poor are slipping further off the global media agenda.


IRIN Films has produced more than 50 documentaries tackling issues ranging from the changing face of HIV to violence against women; from the human cost of climate change to the curse of unexploded cluster bombs in southern Lebanon.
