This film looks at the effect of the International Monetary Fund on the economy of Jamaica. The result, the film maker argues, has been the destruction of Jamaican industry and agriculture, the end of Jamaica as a self-sufficient economic entity, its conversion into a market for North American goods and a source of underpaid labor.
