EVERY HAITIAN SHOULD SEE THIS FILM!

"LIFE AND DEBT" is an unapologetic look at the "New World Order" from the
point of view of workers, farmers, government and
 policy officials, who see the reality of globalization from the ground
up.  Former Prime Minister Michael Manley was elected on a non-IMF
platform in 1976. He was forced to sign Jamaica's first loan agreement
with the IMF in 1977 due to lack of viable alternatives- a global
pattern common throughout the third world. At present Jamaica owes over
4.5 billion to the IMF, the World Bank and the Inter-American Development
Bank among other international lending agencies yet the meaningful
development that these loans have promised has yet to manifest.
Increased unemployment, sweeping corruption, higher illiteracy, increased
violence, prohibitive food costs, dilapidated hospitals, increased
disparity between rich and poor characterize only part of the present day
economic crisis.
