"life and debt" movieLife and Debt - (35mm 86min) A documentary film by Stephanie Black

Winner Critics Jury Prize
Honorable Mention "Best Film of the Festival" Los Angeles Film Festival, April 2001 (World Premiere)

Jamaica - land of sea, sand and sun. And a prime example of the complexities and dangers of economic globalization for the world's developing countries. Utilizing Jamaica as an example of a country which has been under the tutelage of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and other international lending institutions for nearly twenty-five years, this searing film dissects the "mechanism of debt" that is destroying local agriculture and industry in Third World countries while substituting sweat-shops and cheap imports. With a voice-over narration written by Jamaica Kincaid, adapted from her non-fiction book A Small Place, LIFE AND DEBT is an unapologetic look at the "new world order" from the point of view of Jamaican workers, farmers, and government and policy officials who see the reality of globalization from the ground up. With music by Mutabaruka, Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers, Sizzla, Bob Marley, Buju Banton, Yami Bolo,among many others.
