Indymedia Film Screenings - 8 Days Against the G8

****************************************************************************************


7.30 pm,  Tuesday, 11 Jul, 

International Financial Institutions 

- dominated by G8 governments, bodies like the World Bank and IMF shape our world using our money; 
shouldn't we know more about them, and how they could be controlled for public good?


* pumping poverty - speaker tour *
Oil, mining and gas projects have left a legacy of human rights abuses and environmental degradation throughout the world. "Pumping Poverty" follows a recent speaking tour by Friends of the Earth International activists from Ghana, Nigeria, Guatemala and Georgia. They came in 2005 to Amsterdam, Paris and London to demand that International Financial Institutions, like the World Bank, stop investing taxpayers' money in such destructive projects.

* Invisible Hands - How the European Investment Bank Shapes Europe *
Highlighting two projects financed by the Bank in the Slovak Republic and the UK, the film illustrates how the European Union's Investment Bank (EIB) does not stand up even to its own to minimal social and environmental standards.


Plus short films and speakers
Hannah Ellis: Friends of the Earth 
Zoe Young - film-maker and www.IFIwatch.tv co-ordinator


Venue:
Inn on the Green, Thorpe Close, Portobello Green, London W10 (bar above the sports centre)

***********************************************************************************************************


7.30 pm, Thursday, 13 July

Debt

- from local loan sharks to the IMF, indebtedness enables unequal access to resources worldwide;
what does this mean, and what can be done?


* Life and Debt *
Jamaica, land of sea, sand and sun. And a prime example of the complexities of economic globalization on the world's developing countries. The impact of the IMF, the World Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank and current globalization policies on a developing country such as Jamaica. Breathtaking full length documentary film featuring poetry, reggae and a clear eyed expose.


Plus short films and speaker
Jonathan Glennie - Christian Aid 


Venue:
Rampart Squatted Social and Creative Centre, 
15-17 Rampart St, London E1
Nearest tube: Whitechapel and Shadwell
