Jamaica — land of sea, sand and sun. And a prime example of the
impact economic globalization can have on a developing country. Using
conventional and unconventional documentary techniques, this searing
film dissects the "mechanism of debt" that is destroying local agriculture
and industry while substituting sweatshops and cheap imports. With
a voice-over narration written by Jamaica Kincaid, adapted from her
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.
An Independent Television Service (ITVS) Co-presentation.
