[Peace] Doc. Films-IMF & World Bank: "Banking on Life and Debt""Two Trevors go to Washington"

[Jamie McGowan]

fyi...

Since Ben Cashdan, an acclaimed documentary filmmaker, will be a guest of 
Unit One on February 24th, we are adding one of his films to this 
Wednesday's Documentary Film series.  In addition to "Banking on Life and 
Debt," we will show "Two Trevors Go To Washington."  The two films together 
will be slightly over one hour.  I hope you can make it to both (details 
follow).
WEDNESDAY, 2/20 in Rm. 101, International Studies Bldg. 12:00-1:30 pm

Here's a description of the added film:

"Two Trevors go to Washington" Washington, DC, 34 min., Preamble Center, 2000
An incisive and entertaining account of the April 16, 2000 International 
Monetary  Fund and World Bank meetings and protests in Washington, DC. as 
experienced through the eyes of two opposing South Africans, both veterans 
of the anti-apartheid struggle, who differ strongly on economic issues. On 
the inside is South African Finance Minister Trevor Manuel, the champion of 
South Africa's conservative economic policy introduced in 1996. 
Johannesburg activist Trevor Ngwane joined the protesters in the streets to 
call for immediate debt forgiveness and the closure of the international 
financial institutions.
