| description | Soros Documentary Fund
A feature-length documentary which addresses the impact of the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank and current globalization policies on a developing country such as Jamaica. Utilizing excerpts from the award-winning non-fiction text "A Small Place" by Jamaica Kincaid, the film focuses on the stories of individual Jamaicans whose strategies for survival and parameters of day-to-day existence are determined by foreign economic agendas. By combining traditional documentary telling with a stylized narrative framework, the complexity of international lending, structural adjustment policies and free trade will be understood in the context of the day-to-day realities of the people whose lives they impact. |
