Unconditional tells the stories of people who participated in and ran the workfree basic income pilot.
‘What would it mean to help the poor without preconditions? To address the precarity at the heart of poverty? And to stand in solidarity with, rather than offering charity to, those who are marginalised and forgotten?
Unconditional tells the story of two inspiring policy experiments in India and Bangladesh. Combining unconditional basic income with community organiser support across five slums in Dhaka and Hyderabad, these experiments showed what is possible when social assistance is rooted in principles of care, connection, and justice. Told through the stories of participants, this 30-min documentary points towards a future where unconditionality is the foundation stone of social policy’.
We will be joined for a Q&A with the film’s producers and directors following the screening. Hosted by Transition Bath.
