This lucid film untangles the complexities of the debt crisis, the most urgent economic problem in the world today. Most developing countries, having borrowed heavily in the 70's, are unable to service their debt. This in turn has hurt industrial nations as potentially large export markets have faded away. The general threat of political unrest in many Latin American countries has increased the urgency of finding a solution.
