Payback review Product Description

Payback movie was released Aug 21, 2012 by the Zeitgeist Films Ltd. studio. Jennifer Baichwal's documentary, inspired by Ms. Atwood's book, tries to keep up with that writer's agile mind and to flesh out some of her ideas in concrete images and specific stories. With Ms. Atwood herself on hand to provide commentary and intellectual guidance, Ms. Baichwal contemplates a blood feud in northern Albania, the terrible working conditions of tomato pickers in Florida and the aftermath of the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Her interview subjects include participants and witnesses, and also a smattering of experts, among them the economist Raj Patel, the ecologist William Rees and the religion scholar Karen Armstrong. The testimony is often fascinating, and the stories are gripping, in particular the grim Albanian situation, a land dispute between neighbors bound up in a deep and ancient code of honor and vengeance

Filmmaker Jennifer Baichwal draws inspiration from Margaret Atwood's famous essay "Payback: Debt and the Shadow Side of Wealth" for this documentary examining the concept of debt from not only a financial perspective, but also from moral, economical, and spiritual viewpoints. Detailed examinations of a modern day blood feud in Albania, the controversy surrounding disgraced media magnate Conrad Black, the condemnation of BP in the wake of the Gulf oil spill, and the plight of Florida tomato growers as they fight for better working conditions reveal the high cost of ignoring our conscience in the quest for money and power.
