Life & Debt--a film by Stephanie Black (2006). Utilizing excerpts from the award-winning non-fiction text "A Small Place" by Jamaica Kincaid, Life & Debt focuses 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 telling with a stylized narrative framework, Life & Debt illuminates the complexity of international lending, structural adjustment policies, and free trade in the context of the day-to-day realities of the people whose lives are impacted.
