COMPASSION

Affirmation of life is the spiritual act by which man ceases to live thoughtlessly and begins to devote himself to his life
with reverence in order to give it true value.

Prisoners of Debt: Inside the Global Banking Crisi...

Prisoners of Debt: Inside the Global Banking Crisis:

http://www.nfb.ca/   National Film Board of Canada

I know what you're thinking: "another global financial crisis video!"... but this gem is not from the sub-prime banking crisis which  eventually morphed into the global banking and financial crisis of 2008-9 (which eventually transitioned to a sovereign debt crisis). No, this extremely well done video offers and inside view of the 1980's third world debt crisis. 





This feature documentary reveals how Bank of Montreal chairman William Mulholland dealt with his debt-laden customers Dome Petroleum and Mexico during the global debt crisis of '82. Interviews with bankers and financial experts demystify the causes of debt crisis, confirm the fragility of the international banking system and outline the problems to be solved if the system is to survive.
