Filmed by Indonesian workers during their working hours on rubber and palm oil plantations, this film exposes the devastating role of militarism and repression in building the “global economy”. Through chilling first hand accounts, hilarious improvised interventions, collective debate and archival footage, the film explores the relationships between trade, Third World debt, and international institutions like the IMF and World Bank.
