WORLD PREMIERE AT THE LA FILM FEST
"Life and Debt"
a film by Stephanie Black
written by Jamaica Kincaid
Jamaica-land of sea, sand and sun. And a prime example of the complexities of
economic globalization on the world's developing countries. Using
conventional and non-conventional documentary techniques, 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 award-winning 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, 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.
