"Breaking the Bank: A Challenge to the IMF & World Bank"
74 Minutes, VHS tape, NTSC

After the Seattle victory that stopped the World Trade Organization in its 
'fast' tracks, tens of thousands converged to challenge the International 
Monetary Fund and World Bank at their April 2000 meeting in Washington D.C. 
Once again, videomakers from the Independent Media Center were on the spot 
to provide the non-corporate coverage you just won't find anywhere else. 
"Breaking the Bank" provides informative background segments on the history 
and impact of the IMF and World Bank. The program features extensive 
coverage of the events in Washington, the street blockade tactics, the 
police repression, the rallies and the celebration of so many people coming 
together united in a common cause.

Breaking the bank features material from the two half-hour television 
programs (originally Satellitecast April 21st 2000) plus additional 
segments. This extended 74 minute version of this program is available for 
home distribution from the participating producer groups listed on the 
order form).
