Life and Debt
Video available from W A M M!

Many W A M M members have found the video Life and Debt helpful in understanding what is happening in Haiti, the Caribbean, and throughout the world.

“Utilizing excerpts from the award-winning nonfiction text, A Small Place, by Jamaica Kincaid, Life and Debt is a woven tapestry of sequences focusing on the stories of individual Jamaicans whose strategies for survival and parameters of day-to-day existence are determined by the U.S. and other foreign economic agendas.

“By combining traditional documentary technique 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.”
