Life and Debt, a film by Stephanie Black
With excerpts from the award-winning non-fiction text "A Small Place" by
Jamaica Kincaid, Life and Debt tells the stories of individual Jamaicans
whose strategies for survival and parameters of day-to-day existence are
determined by the U.S. and other foreign economic agendas. Traditional
documentary and stylized narrative exhibit the complexities of
international lending, structural adjustment policies, and free trade in
the context of the day-to-day realities of the people whose lives they
impact.
