Life and Debt, A Film by Stephanie Black, General Admission

Ukrainian Hall-General Admission 6 Cottage Place, Utica,NY

Stephanie Black will be present to speak about her film at Utica, NY's Premier Showing of "Life and Debt" at the Resource Center for Independent Living-Dorothy Smith Advocacy, one of the two venues that will simultaneously show this film. The second venue Ukrainian Hall will have a live feed of Ms. Black's speech, and of the panel discussion after the movie.

This film, which documents economic and fiscal policies of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank on the economy of Jamaica uses text from Jamaica Kincaid's short story "a small place" to add literary texture.

Ms. Black will have just returned from Jamaica, so patrons will receive an current eyewitness account of events occurring surrounding opposition to IMF and World Bank's policies. Ms. Black will speak at 6:30, before the movie is shown at 7pm.

This is a fundraiser for the St. Sophia Scholarship Fund, to raise tuition funds to teach women household management skills through the Family Place. The Prodigal Daughter Course is a program of the HeartSoul Ekonomia Institute.
