Through no fault of their own, many nations in the Global South are pushed further into debt and poverty due to World Bank and IMF economic policies that wrongfully assume that neoliberalism (trade over aid) will lift them out of poverty and make them self sufficient.Just one example from the film: The US (via the World Bank and IMF Structural Adjustment programs) forced Jamaica to reduce tariffs on their imports in order to prioritize paying back development loans (that didn't develop the country). This made it cheaper for the US to dump a bunch of powdered milk into their economy which destroyed their FRESH dairy industry. The film shows dairy farmers having to dump their milk down the drain. Because the IMF forced them to devalue their currency it was cheaper to buy imports than local produce.The most criminal is that the US has subsidized their produce and dairy industries, but Jamaica and others under SAPs are told they have to eliminate subsidies to create "revenue," but really it just makes it so the US can off load their cheap products onto the Global South destroying economies in its wake. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stellar Documentary *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 7, 2022* Had to watch this documentary for a course I'm taking and I'm so glad I did. It encapsulates the devastating effects of globalization on Jamaica and ties it into what it means for developing countries as a whole. Not only does it cover political and economic concepts to help the viewer understand the policies at play, but it also delves into stories that will pull at your heartstrings to show the impact these policies have on the lives of people. 10/10. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Life And Debt review *by E***O on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 25, 2014* I was speechless after watching this movie. First of all I would like to thank our Professor Loraine for recommending this movie, it gave me (hopefully other students in the Principal of Export and International Business) the sens of real life out there, how the deals are signed, the conditions and terms of the IMF, Word Bank, with the Emerging Countries.What really blew my mind is how the Jamaican's Prime Minister and his government had sign these crazy deals, their hands were tight, they were screwed. The movie showed how difficult was for the Jamaican government to make any better deal, then the hypocrisy of the IMF official, who every time was speaking on the camera, you could see the carelessness and fake smile on his face, then you have the people of Jamaica who didn't know what was in the deal, when the deal was sign? So, pretty much they had no idea of those senseless deals, but they were the ones who paid the price (specially those Farmers and factory workers). To summarize my review, the Life and Debt movie made me think about what goes on in Africa (heavily in debt) and other poor countries, who don't have muscles to wrestling with the IMF, World bank, people think that they are there to help, but in reality they are there to keep them strangled, YES THE RULES & TERMS OF IMF, WORLD BANK, WERE MADE BY THE USA, EUROPEAN COUNTRIES (SOME), THEY MADE FOR THEM. NOT FOR ANYONE ELSE. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1490232-life-and-debt](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1490232-life-and-debt) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
