Hell to Pay: A Mira Films Production
A moving and politically sophisticated analysis of the international debt situation through the eyes of the women of Bolivia, the poorest country in Latin America. As a result of the government’s austerity programs adopted to satisfy the International Monetary Fund, thirty percent of the nation’s public schools were closed. Though most directly affected by these measures, peasant women are assumed not to understand the working of international capital and foreign policy. This video contradicts such assumptions as teachers, textile workers and miners’ wives speak vividly and with great comprehension of the causes of the debt crisis and the burden they are forced to bear.
