An excellent portrait of a disgusting time:
a young teacher, a doubtful missionary, the unUN and the people they serve

Life & Debt

A film by Stephanie Black

Life and Debt is a 2001 American documentary film directed by Stephanie Black.
It examines the economic and social situation in Jamaica, and specifically the impact thereon of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank's globalization policies. Its starting point is the award-winning non-fiction essay A Small Place by Jamaica Kincaid.

Kathleen C. Fennessy's review of the documentary states:

“Set to a beguiling reggae beat, Life and Debt takes as its subject Jamaica's economic decline in the 20th century. The story has reverberations in the plight of other third-world nations blindsided by globalization, like Ghana and Haiti. After England granted Jamaica independence in 1962, the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) stepped in with a series of loans.”

Mapuche, 'people of the land'.

Mapu means land and Che means people.

They are both sedentary and nomadic communities and the original inhabitans of the southern Cone of Latin America, which today covers half of Chile and half of Argentina.

the Mapuche Land was invaded again...
