The Big Sellout: Nov 28th, 7pm SUB Norm Theatre

By ,

Stephanie says:

The Big Sell Out showcases the abstract phenomenon of privatization, depicted in stories about very concrete human destinies around the globe. The documentary tells tragic, tragicomic but also encouraging stories of the everyday life of people, who day by day have to deal with the effects of privatization politics, dictated by anonymous international financial institutions in Washington D.C. and Geneva, such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank and the World Trade Organization (WTO).
