BBC documentary on Kids Company scandal

[DRW50]

There was a big scandal in the UK last year about Kids Company, a charity that got many millions of pounds from the government. Accusations of mismanagement, waste, and even abuse led to an already increasingly threadbare organization being shut down. 

 

The founder, Camila Batmanghelidjh, had asked a documentary filmmaker to follow her around some months before all this broke. While some have said she was too generous to Camila and the organization, it's still a fascinating look at a woman who is, while likely very serious about wanting to help troubled kids, also very delusional, paranoid, and controlling, to the point where she pretty much destroyed any last lifeline for her charity.
