NOTES

Title from title frames

Margaret Atwood’s visionary work *Payback: Debt and the Shadow Side of Wealth* is the basis for this riveting and poetic documentary on “debt” in its various forms—societal, personal, environmental, spiritual, criminal, and of course, economic. Filmmaker Jennifer Baichwal (*Manufactured Landscapes*) strikingly interweaves these debtor/creditor relationships: two families in a years-long Albanian blood feud; the BP oil spill vs. the Earth; mistreated Florida tomato farm workers and their bosses; imprisoned media mogul Conrad Black and the U.S. justice system. Nominated for the Grand Jury Prize for World Cinema - Documentary at the **Sundance Film Festival**. *"A thoughtful and compelling meditation on global interconnectivity..."* - Andrew Schenker, ***Time Out***
