"Money" ("L'argent"): Director Isaac Isitan follows the story of thousands of people in Turkey and in Argentina who took to the street, attacking the banks when their life savings evaporated overnight. Isitan takes us to Turkey, Argentina, and the U.S. in a moving portrait of citizens who have lost everything. How could these relatively wealthy countries possibly have gone bankrupt in less than a decade? "Money" dissects the macro-economic policies, demanded by the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, that have plunged entire nations into economic crisis. But the film also shows how, faced with a lack of money, the people have begun to reinvent it, initiating credit and barter systems and inventing local parallel economies. 65 minutes, 2003.

Antonia Juhasz, Project Director at the International Forum on Globalization, will speak and lead an open discussion after the film.
