Life and Debt (2001)
10/10
The destructive nature of "Foreign Aid".
9 December 2022
This socially conscious film tells a disturbing story about a poor nation, Jamaica, but I get a feeling that it could be about any so called third world country that is duped to make a deal with the devil. The devil being wealthy and powerful nations (eq. The USA) who are in cahoots with the IMF. That human beings can be so destructive to one and other is shocking. It is difficult to reconcile the level of corruption in the name of foreign aid that has gone wildly off the rails. That the film is a documentary makes it all the more devastating.

There's a lot to process here and viewers should draw their own conclusions. But this is a serious film that will get under your skin and it will haunt you for a long, long time to come.
