From pbs.org:
Jamaica - land of sea, sand and sun. And a prime example of the impact
economic globalization can have on a developing country. Using conventional
and unconventional documentary techniques, this searing film dissects the
"mechanism of debt" that is destroying local agriculture and industry while
substituting sweatshops and cheap imports. With a voice-over narration
written by Jamaica Kincaid, adapted from her book A SMALL PLACE, LIFE AND
DEBT is an unapologetic look at the "new world order," from the point of
view of Jamaican workers, farmers, government and policy officials who see
the reality of globalization from the ground up.  An Independent Television
Service (ITVS) Co-presentation.
