Jamaica, land of sea, sand and sun... and a prime example of the complexities of economic
globalization on the world's developing countries.
With twenty-five years of "help" from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the
World Bank intended to bring Third World nations such as Jamaica into the fold of free
market economies, these "restructuring" policies have crippled Jamaica's efforts toward
self-reliant development while enriching the lenders. This scathing film is unapologetic
look at th e"new world order" from the point of view of Jamaican workers and farmers, as
well as government and policy officials. Featuring a dynamic reggae soundtrack and a
searing voice over based on text by Jamaica Kincaid, as well as interviews with former
Jamaican Prime Minister Michael Manley, Deputy Director of the IMF Stanley Fisher and
President of Haiti Jean-Bertrand Aristide, Life and Debt portrays the relationship between
Jamaican poverty and the practices of international lending agencies while driving home
the devasting consequences of globalization.
