DESCRIPTION:Friday, April 20 at 7:30 pm \n\nLIFE AND DEBT \nPresented by Ashley Sabin 
 \n\nThis eye-opening documentary about Jamaica is a tapestry focusing on 
 the stories of individual Jamaicans whose strategies for survival and 
 parameters of day-to-day existence are determined by U.S. and other foreign 
 economic agendas. The complexities of international lending, structural 
 adjustment policies, and free trade will be understood in the context of 
 the day-to-day realities of the people whose lives they impact. The film 
 opens with the arrival of vacationers to the island. We immediately begin 
 to understand the profound contrasts behind the scenes of the breathtaking 
 natural beauty of the island. The legacy of the country's colonial past and 
 its present-day rising unemployment, sweeping corruption, increased 
 illiteracy, increased violence, prohibitive food costs, dilapidated 
 hospitals, increased disparity between rich and poor characterize Jamaica 
 as much as its physical beauty. The Jamaica of tourists is well known. Now 
 have a look at the Jamaica of Jamaicans. \n\nBefore and after the film, 
 everyone's invited to our Humanist Tea House. \n\n$5 donations are 
 accepted. \n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2007/04/02/18387745.php
