4th Annual Anti-Corporate Film Festival: "Apology of an Economic Hitman"

Victoria Theatre
San Francisco, CA

APOLOGY OF AN ECONOMIC HITMAN (Greece, 2008, 93 min) is a film adaptation of John Perkins' controversial book, 'Confessions of an Economic Hitman', which seemed to confirm what critics of international "development" have long suspected: that the U.S. uses economic aid to trap poor countries in permanent debt and advance corporate interests. Opening with Perkins' public apology for helping to overthrow the populist president of Ecuador, the film documents Washington's ongoing use of this strategy in Panama, Saudi Arabia, and elsewhere -- including, most recently, Iraq.
