The Claim to Fame cast has a long list of rules that must be followed to get onto the show. The executive producers of ABC‘s hit reality competition series have opened up about those guidelines, providing a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to get cast and win Claim to Fame. Eric Detwiler and Scott Teti told People that the rules not only apply before and during the filming process but also after a player has been eliminated. In the series, 12 “nepo babies” (family members of famous people) gather in a California mansion for several weeks of competition. The goal is to keep your famous family member’s identity a secret while trying to unveil the other players’ claims to fame. The contestants are barred from internet use while filming, having only clues provided on the clue wall and through challenges to work off of when forming their theories.

In one of her first meetings with the villagers of Kogutu, Caroline Teti, an employee of the fast-growing nonprofit GiveDirectly, tells them, “I know you’ve had a lot of visitors.” She’s referring to the various NGOs that have swooped into Kogutu and other corners of the African continent with big promises that often turn up empty. In her stylish dress and heels, Teti presents a new idea to these Kenyans, a program that that would give every eligible adult villager 22 a month for 12 years. “White people,” she tells the villagers, “call it redistribution of wealth.”
Free Money is an illuminating documentary from helmers Lauren DeFilippo (Red Heaven) and Sam Soko (Softie), who weigh the virtuous goal of lifting people out of poverty against the potential adverse effects of white-savior syndrome.

Everyone over the age of eighteen (those fifteen and older become eligible on their eighteenth birthday) will receive twenty-two dollars a month for twelve years. That’s the promise GiveDirectly (represented by co-founder Michael Faye) made to the poor rural Kenyan village of Kogutu and, to their credit, has met in full. The idea is that too many NGOs (non-governmental organizations) have ravaged third world countries by making assurances they never follow through on. People would give them money, they would disburse it as they saw fit devoid of oversight, and too much would get wasted with little change. So Faye’s company seeks to give it directly to the people in need via a universal basic income while studying the results and extrapolating the impact onto a larger scale.
