Review
Jamaica; a beautiful, tropical land, but also a prime example of the impact of economic globalisation on a developing country. This startling, authoritative and award winning documentary provides a shocking insight into a Jamaica not seen by the hordes of tourists. "Life and Debt" portrays a troubled nation and details how the forces of globalisation, the World Bank and the IMF have effectively crippled Jamaica's economy and robbed it of its natural resources.
