This is a bank, not a charity…

Have a look at the 2001 American documentary film called Life and Debt, directed by Stephanie Black. The Film examines in a truly fascinating exposé way, the economic and social situation in Jamaica, and specifically the impact thereon of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank’s globalisation policies. Its starting point is the essay A Small Place by Jamaica Kincaid. FULL FILM HERE….Want to learn more about this about the IMF and World Bank, I recommend: Joseph E.
