The Global Environment Facility (or GEF) looks promising on paper - with two and a half billion dollars from the world's governments to spend on global green aid, and an inclusive, democratic model of governance. But does this newest of the international financial institutions live up to its own rhetoric?

SUITS AND SAVAGES looks at a GEF/World Bank ecodevelopment project from the ground up - travelling between one remote tribe in India and another, more powerful, in Washington DC; spanning the gulf between their environments.
