Presented in association with Sons & Daughters of jamaica. 'Life & 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. This searing documentary examines how the policies of the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and other aid organizations have changed the Jamaican economy over the past quarter of a century, leaving the local people to struggle in poverty and work in sweatshops. Panel discussion follows screening.

I WOULD LOVE TO ATTEND, UNFORTUNATELY, I AM HOSTING A BANQUET ON THE SAME DAY. WILL THERE BE ANOTHER DAY OF STEPHANIE BLACK'S 'LIVE & DEBT' IN NEW YORK? IF NOT, WILL VIDEOS OF THIS DOCUMENTARY BE AVAILABLE?
