Introducing with indymedia.org, coverage of the protests in September 2000 against the IMF and the World Bank conference in Prague. Interviews with activists and campaigners from the southern hemisphere give damning criticism of the IMF and World Bank policies as the film charts the preparations for the day of action in Prague, the day itself and its aftermath.

This event on the IMF's role during the global financial crisis featured Mark Weisbrot, Co-Director of CEPR, James Roaf of the IMF, Public Citizen's new president, Robert Weissman, Asia Russell, the director of Health GAP, and Jo Marie Griesgraber, Executive Director of the New Rules for Global Finance Coalition.

In a rare debate at the IMF/WB Fall meetings, CEPR Co-Director Mark Weisbrot debates Petya Koeva Brooks, Chief of the World Economic Studies Division at the IMF. In this unique and perhaps unprecedented event, the two economists debate whether IMF policies are appropriate for the current global economic recovery.

Financial markets in turmoil, energy price rises, food riots, violent conflicts and environmental disasters. And whatever the disaster, poor and marginalised people are always affected the most.... It doesn't have to be this way.
