EDUCATIONAL FILM TO ORGANIZE AGAINST THE WORLD BANK AND IMF

Dear friends,

I am pleased to announce an updated version of the acclaimed 30 minute
documentary by Liz Canner entitled, "Deadly Embrace: Nicaragua, the World
Bank and the IMF."  This documentary provides first hand accounts from
Nicaraguan farmers and citizens of how the IMF and World Bank Structural
Adjustment policies have threatened the stability of the Nicaraguan economy
and endangered the lives of citizens.  It also includes interviews with IMF
and World Bank employees claiming that structural adjustment policies help
developing nations.  A great tool to understand and see how structural
adjustment policies effect the countries they are implemented in.

We are asking you to screen this video to groups or at meetings you have in
your community about globalization, the debt, The World Bank and IMF.  It
makes a good introductory tool to first, educate, and second, to stimulate
further discussion and questioning of the World Bank and IMF policies.  Also
please spread the word by including this video in your newsletters or
resource guides.

"Deadly Embrace," is available for $30.  A 51 page informational and
educational guide is also available for $6.
Postage and Handling is $5.
If you would like to order please send your mailing address, phone number
and a check to:
Liz Canner
164 Hudson St.
Somerville, MA 02144
