1
00:00:27,110 --> 00:00:29,821
The government cut the
national reserves...

2
00:00:29,863 --> 00:00:33,158
and civil prisons plague the nation
this late afternoon.

3
00:00:33,991 --> 00:00:36,703
Forty-one people were arrested
today on the island,

4
00:00:36,704 --> 00:00:41,291
in the worst case of civil arrests in
Jamaica in many years.

5
00:00:47,965 --> 00:00:49,842
Food and various products
basics are scarce...

6
00:00:49,842 --> 00:00:51,927
and several Jamaicans remain
trapped in their home.

7
00:00:52,135 --> 00:00:55,264
Several people were shot and
were injured or killed.

8
00:00:56,098 --> 00:00:57,432
Shortly after three,

9
00:00:57,516 --> 00:01:01,520
a bullet pierced the chest of a
25 year old woman who was going to be a mother,

10
00:01:01,562 --> 00:01:05,065
while passing the crossroads
of Grant's Pen Street and Short Hill.

11
00:01:05,148 --> 00:01:07,318
His family surrounded the
lifeless body.

12
00:01:07,361 --> 00:01:09,445
Hospitals, airports and
sellers...

13
00:01:09,488 --> 00:01:12,031
suffer from the wounds of a
violent protest.

14
00:01:12,073 --> 00:01:16,535
An IMF team, which is already
in Jamaica, he is dedicating four days...

15
00:01:16,577 --> 00:01:19,872
to carry out a technical assessment
the country's financial situation.

16
00:01:20,497 --> 00:01:23,625
The question is to make
globalization works...

17
00:01:23,667 --> 00:01:25,711
for the benefit of all.

18
00:01:26,753 --> 00:01:29,673
There will be no good future
for the rich...

19
00:01:29,674 --> 00:01:32,759
if there is no perspective
of a better future...

20
00:01:32,801 --> 00:01:34,678
for the pure...poor.

21
00:01:34,803 --> 00:01:38,223
Stay tuned for details on this and
other stories after the break.

22
00:01:46,565 --> 00:01:49,276
Baskin Robbins, where
the world eats ice cream.

23
00:01:51,778 --> 00:01:56,783
<i>The fortune of the rich
is in our cities.</i>

24
00:01:59,494 --> 00:02:04,708
<i>The extermination of the poor is
our indigence.</i>

25
00:02:07,002 --> 00:02:11,798
<i>The extermination of our
souls to vanity.</i>

26
00:02:12,424 --> 00:02:16,553
<i>Well, you heard. Now,
Natty Dread wonders... </i>

27
00:02:16,554 --> 00:02:17,972
<i>if agent...</i>

28
00:02:22,181 --> 00:02:25,354
<i>want to control the
our destiny?</i>

29
00:02:36,238 --> 00:02:37,658
The system chooses.

30
00:02:39,326 --> 00:02:42,996
If you don't fight yourself,
you will have problems.

31
00:02:43,497 --> 00:02:49,336
If they see you join
with yourself, they want to grab you.

32
00:02:49,337 --> 00:02:53,674
to

33
00:02:54,341 --> 00:02:56,009
b

34
00:02:56,635 --> 00:03:01,640
"If you lend money to someone in the
my people, to the poor who are with you,

35
00:03:01,641 --> 00:03:04,977
you will not be like a creditor to him;

36
00:03:04,978 --> 00:03:07,896
You will not demand interest from him."

37
00:03:07,897 --> 00:03:11,942
"Even if you take into account
Pawn your neighbor's dress,

38
00:03:11,985 --> 00:03:16,864
You will give it back to him before sunset;"

39
00:03:21,451 --> 00:03:26,456
LIFE AND DEBT

40
00:03:27,291 --> 00:03:30,836
<i>The seven most
rich people in the world...</i>

41
00:03:31,587 --> 00:03:34,548
<i>they will do a small
meeting.</i>

42
00:03:34,590 --> 00:03:38,760
<i>They plan to perpetuate
and oppress the poor...</i>

43
00:03:39,178 --> 00:03:41,638
<i>so they can
hold a small meeting.</i>

44
00:03:41,681 --> 00:03:43,140
We would like to take advantage
this opportunity...

45
00:03:43,182 --> 00:03:47,519
to welcome everyone
who are visiting this wonderful island.

46
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,689
We hope that
enjoy your stay.

47
00:03:50,647 --> 00:03:53,360
<i>These countries want
stay on top.</i>

48
00:03:53,984 --> 00:03:56,488
<i>And for this they
they will do anything.</i>

49
00:03:57,112 --> 00:04:00,242
<i>For them, life
third world countries...</i>

50
00:04:01,074 --> 00:04:03,661
<i>� just a small
price to pay.</i>

51
00:04:03,994 --> 00:04:05,955
If you come to
Jamaica as a tourist,

52
00:04:05,954 --> 00:04:07,539
you will see this:

53
00:04:08,373 --> 00:04:12,129
if you come by plane, certainly
will land in Montego Bay.

54
00:04:12,418 --> 00:04:14,173
And not in Kingston.

55
00:04:14,213 --> 00:04:16,675
<i>Welcome to Jamaica</i>

56
00:04:16,718 --> 00:04:18,800
<i>So many acquaintances
like the new ones.</i>

57
00:04:18,842 --> 00:04:21,514
<i>We are happy that you
join us.</i>

58
00:04:21,595 --> 00:04:23,807
<i>We were waiting
for you.</i>

59
00:04:24,014 --> 00:04:26,099
<i>Welcome to Jamaica</i>

60
00:04:26,142 --> 00:04:28,769
<i>where you are at home.</i>

61
00:04:28,810 --> 00:04:30,896
<i>Welcome to Jamaica</i>

62
00:04:30,939 --> 00:04:33,815
<i>feel like you
was at home.</i>

63
00:04:35,067 --> 00:04:37,112
<i>We are proud
from Jamaica...</i>

64
00:04:37,153 --> 00:04:42,702
Are you thinking about all those long
and cold days you spent working,

65
00:04:42,742 --> 00:04:46,119
earning money so that
could stay in this place: Jamaica,

66
00:04:46,453 --> 00:04:48,497
where the sun must always shine,

67
00:04:48,539 --> 00:04:51,959
where the climate is delightfully
warm and dry.

68
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,088
At least during the
ten days he will spend here.

69
00:04:58,006 --> 00:05:00,719
You are indifferent to the fact that
for you to enter this country...

70
00:05:00,761 --> 00:05:03,013
just present your
driver's license.

71
00:05:03,846 --> 00:05:06,806
You are indifferent to this fact
because you can travel anywhere.

72
00:05:11,353 --> 00:05:14,273
The idea that a citizen of the
Jamaica would have to account...

73
00:05:14,314 --> 00:05:19,486
exhaustively explain why and how
lives to visit his native country,

74
00:05:19,528 --> 00:05:21,363
never passed
for your head.

75
00:05:27,202 --> 00:05:29,705
Since you are a tourist,
No need to travel...

76
00:05:29,746 --> 00:05:34,210
with cardboard boxes full of clothes
cockroaches and food for your relatives.

77
00:05:34,252 --> 00:05:35,335
What do you have in your bag?

78
00:05:37,004 --> 00:05:40,340
This has nothing to do with
with counting, my dear.

79
00:05:40,757 --> 00:05:44,094
You go through customs
quickly and easily.

80
00:05:44,511 --> 00:05:46,180
Your luggage is not
are inspected.

81
00:05:47,639 --> 00:05:50,893
Before leaving the airport,
you stop to exchange money.

82
00:05:57,232 --> 00:05:58,901
Twenty, please.
How are you?

83
00:05:59,526 --> 00:06:02,446
You get excited about
amount of Jamaican dollars...

84
00:06:02,487 --> 00:06:04,948
that he achieved with
your twenty dollars.

85
00:06:07,868 --> 00:06:09,536
I'm feeling
rich now.

86
00:06:10,162 --> 00:06:11,830
How much does a shirt cost here?

87
00:06:11,873 --> 00:06:12,749
- Never...
- I'm sorry?

88
00:06:12,791 --> 00:06:14,541
How much does a shirt cost here?

89
00:06:14,958 --> 00:06:17,700
And you haven't even been to a store yet
to see how much exactly...

90
00:06:17,711 --> 00:06:19,254
its large quantity
of money can buy.

91
00:06:20,589 --> 00:06:23,759
It won't cross your mind that the
fragility of your new bargaining chip...

92
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,304
It is the result of many
imposed devaluations...

93
00:06:27,346 --> 00:06:29,765
by the International Monetary Fund.

94
00:06:29,848 --> 00:06:33,101
The International Monetary Fund, the IMF,
is encouraging Jamaica...

95
00:06:33,144 --> 00:06:35,395
to reverse the fiscal deficit,

96
00:06:35,396 --> 00:06:37,899
to drive growth
economical.

97
00:06:38,315 --> 00:06:42,277
To understand the IMF,

98
00:06:42,361 --> 00:06:46,657
It's better to turn to history.

99
00:06:47,574 --> 00:06:50,161
We will travel to the
year 1944.

100
00:06:52,496 --> 00:06:55,708
War is almost
coming to an end.

101
00:06:56,667 --> 00:07:01,463
The Allies were determined
not to let, after the end of the war,

102
00:07:01,505 --> 00:07:04,174
the same mess happened
like in the 30s.

103
00:07:04,174 --> 00:07:06,051
At Bretton Woods,
new hampshire,

104
00:07:06,093 --> 00:07:09,388
delegates from 44 allied countries
and associates arrived...

105
00:07:09,429 --> 00:07:12,724
for the inauguration of the conference
monetary and financial framework of the United Nations.

106
00:07:13,350 --> 00:07:18,774
The main institution
founded was the IMF.

107
00:07:19,606 --> 00:07:24,403
The Fund's objective was to create a
Bank where I would lend...

108
00:07:24,444 --> 00:07:29,616
short term money for
finance commercial interests...

109
00:07:29,658 --> 00:07:31,285
of the countries that won the war.

110
00:07:31,326 --> 00:07:35,247
The Secretary of the Treasury of the United States,
Morgenthau, leads the American delegation...

111
00:07:35,372 --> 00:07:38,792
and will discuss our plan
to stabilize the world currency.

112
00:07:39,001 --> 00:07:40,962
At the same time, they
create the World Bank...

113
00:07:41,003 --> 00:07:45,549
that will provide capital for
the reconstruction of Europe.

114
00:07:46,300 --> 00:07:49,804
We must remember that what we know
as a Third World did not exist.

115
00:07:50,053 --> 00:07:53,599
There were some medium powers,
but they all feared some superpower.

116
00:07:54,641 --> 00:07:56,811
We had no expression,
we didn't exist.

117
00:07:56,852 --> 00:07:59,646
We were just part of the
structure of someone's power.

118
00:08:00,272 --> 00:08:04,234
Ask yourself whose interest it was.
Ask yourself, who founded it?

119
00:08:09,656 --> 00:08:14,204
Ladies and gentlemen, this pleasant afternoon
It is the welcome sign to our island, Jamaica.

120
00:08:14,870 --> 00:08:18,375
You may have noticed that we typed
on the left side of the track.

121
00:08:18,415 --> 00:08:21,126
It may seem wrong, but
Driving on the right side is suicide.

122
00:08:21,335 --> 00:08:21,960
Very good.

123
00:08:22,128 --> 00:08:23,882
So sit back, relax
and enjoy the ride.

124
00:08:23,879 --> 00:08:25,714
Any questions, just ask.

125
00:08:26,340 --> 00:08:28,718
My name is Kerry and this
It's your driver, Fiietto.

126
00:08:29,051 --> 00:08:31,553
Just ahead, on the side
left, we can see...

127
00:08:31,595 --> 00:08:33,222
Sandal's Royal Jamaica.

128
00:08:33,430 --> 00:08:35,516
Here we have the
Butch Stewart who is the...

129
00:08:35,557 --> 00:08:36,767
Sole owner...

130
00:08:36,975 --> 00:08:40,313
You are driving down a highway
known as the "King's Highway".

131
00:08:40,355 --> 00:08:43,565
When it was built, we were
ruled by something called the Queen.

132
00:08:44,274 --> 00:08:45,943
We no longer have a queen.

133
00:08:46,151 --> 00:08:48,238
We have our own Mc'Donalds,

134
00:08:48,445 --> 00:08:49,905
Baskin Robbins...

135
00:08:50,113 --> 00:08:52,533
right on the left,
I say to the right.

136
00:08:53,033 --> 00:08:56,121
We also have Ocho Rios
if you want to have ice cream.

137
00:08:56,370 --> 00:08:58,164
And here is Mc'Donalds.

138
00:08:59,915 --> 00:09:01,792
When we want to become
independent from Great Britain...

139
00:09:01,793 --> 00:09:04,503
We had... another
thing in mind.

140
00:09:04,876 --> 00:09:07,131
But now we can't
remind us what it was.

141
00:09:07,631 --> 00:09:09,716
So you can imagine
How I felt when...

142
00:09:09,758 --> 00:09:12,761
in one day, driving through
"The queen", I asked myself:

143
00:09:12,885 --> 00:09:14,889
This is the Jamaica I'm in
seeing before me?

144
00:09:14,931 --> 00:09:17,850
Autonomous and yet
a worse place than when...

145
00:09:17,891 --> 00:09:19,935
was dominated by
evil Englishmen?

146
00:09:20,769 --> 00:09:23,063
My UK government...

147
00:09:23,106 --> 00:09:26,109
took his vows of responsibility...

148
00:09:26,817 --> 00:09:29,486
and cease any kind
of authority...

149
00:09:29,528 --> 00:09:33,699
over Jamaica after
more than 300 years of domination.

150
00:09:40,372 --> 00:09:43,167
Countries like Jamaica
discovered that...

151
00:09:43,917 --> 00:09:46,171
as soon as they become free,

152
00:09:46,214 --> 00:09:50,175
they start to have
financial problems.

153
00:09:51,425 --> 00:09:54,136
Because they don't have
economic strength...

154
00:09:54,179 --> 00:09:56,848
to produce for
own account.

155
00:09:57,264 --> 00:09:59,391
They need time...

156
00:09:59,433 --> 00:10:03,437
to build an economy
that adapts to the World.

157
00:10:03,937 --> 00:10:07,691
When you see how much the food
foreign costs, you understand...

158
00:10:07,733 --> 00:10:09,944
that the production of food,

159
00:10:09,987 --> 00:10:12,280
to feed us
from Jamaica,

160
00:10:12,322 --> 00:10:14,991
It's not just a
opportunity for you,

161
00:10:15,033 --> 00:10:17,869
but also a question
survival of this nation.

162
00:10:18,952 --> 00:10:20,955
Let's go to 1963.

163
00:10:21,038 --> 00:10:24,041
There was a worldwide upheaval...

164
00:10:24,082 --> 00:10:26,877
caused by the increase
of oil.

165
00:10:27,377 --> 00:10:31,465
Suddenly we needed
of a quantity of money...

166
00:10:31,466 --> 00:10:33,049
which we never dreamed of having...

167
00:10:33,091 --> 00:10:34,551
just to produce
ground meat.

168
00:10:35,219 --> 00:10:36,887
What can be done?

169
00:10:37,304 --> 00:10:39,766
First you resort to
private banking system.

170
00:10:40,224 --> 00:10:42,726
And see where you can get one
private loan...

171
00:10:42,768 --> 00:10:46,897
Why are you hard,
need some support...

172
00:10:46,939 --> 00:10:49,275
and has had problems
to pay other bills.

173
00:10:49,316 --> 00:10:52,278
When a private bank
lend you money,

174
00:10:53,570 --> 00:10:57,699
you need to do something if
is leader of the country.

175
00:10:57,742 --> 00:11:02,122
Typically, what you should do
Reduce your expenses in some way.

176
00:11:02,538 --> 00:11:05,292
And try to get more
money so...

177
00:11:05,331 --> 00:11:10,045
the reduction of expenses does not have a
impact as severe as they should have.

178
00:11:11,004 --> 00:11:14,842
It is in this situation that
they generally turn to the IMF.

179
00:11:15,467 --> 00:11:17,177
We are not for sale!

180
00:11:18,387 --> 00:11:22,268
Tell them you always
whatever you want...

181
00:11:22,474 --> 00:11:24,643
do business with
the honorable Jamaica...

182
00:11:25,477 --> 00:11:28,605
are based on the principles
of equality, sovereignty, and pride...

183
00:11:28,648 --> 00:11:31,735
and then we'll talk
about money investments.

184
00:11:31,774 --> 00:11:35,489
Remember that this is
a country that is literally...

185
00:11:35,528 --> 00:11:37,573
starting to develop...

186
00:11:38,198 --> 00:11:41,326
because you can't finance
what you need for this.

187
00:11:41,743 --> 00:11:44,454
A hospital cannot
run out of penicillin.

188
00:11:44,663 --> 00:11:46,874
It can't be done
wheat-free bread.

189
00:11:47,791 --> 00:11:50,294
We would say yes,
which is true.

190
00:11:50,337 --> 00:11:53,506
We understand the crisis that
you are passing by.

191
00:11:54,673 --> 00:11:59,052
And we have to fix the
reasons behind... this crisis.

192
00:12:00,512 --> 00:12:01,765
So here it is...

193
00:12:02,806 --> 00:12:04,266
what do we think
must be done.

194
00:12:04,309 --> 00:12:05,727
What do you really
need to do...

195
00:12:05,772 --> 00:12:08,020
is to sit down and ask
themselves:

196
00:12:08,061 --> 00:12:10,314
we can develop a
program for 5 years?

197
00:12:10,315 --> 00:12:12,984
Meanwhile, I have nothing
do it because of money.

198
00:12:13,027 --> 00:12:15,527
So, could you
help me achieve it?

199
00:12:15,569 --> 00:12:19,281
And put it on a plane
long-term development?

200
00:12:19,907 --> 00:12:21,200
And they will say no.

201
00:12:21,366 --> 00:12:23,452
They will say that development
In the long run, it's your problem.

202
00:12:24,286 --> 00:12:26,164
We're just here...

203
00:12:26,788 --> 00:12:29,250
to see who
you owe money,

204
00:12:29,293 --> 00:12:31,379
to know why
of being bankrupt.

205
00:12:31,793 --> 00:12:35,676
"And we will lend you money
in a short period of time...

206
00:12:35,714 --> 00:12:38,801
with high interest rates
to get them out of bankruptcy."

207
00:12:39,092 --> 00:12:41,596
And then they impose...

208
00:12:42,846 --> 00:12:45,767
tremendous restrictions...

209
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,603
about where you
you can spend it.

210
00:12:48,645 --> 00:12:50,354
We signed an agreement...

211
00:12:50,355 --> 00:12:53,234
regarding preventive measures,
As for guarantees,

212
00:12:53,273 --> 00:12:55,527
as for the exchange rate,
as for monetary policy,

213
00:12:55,570 --> 00:12:57,653
as for interest rates,
As for the banks...

214
00:12:57,654 --> 00:13:00,532
as for privatizations, I would say.

215
00:13:01,198 --> 00:13:03,951
We think this could
solve your problems.

216
00:13:03,994 --> 00:13:05,160
And you will say to them:

217
00:13:05,161 --> 00:13:08,497
if I do it this way,
when you finish paying it...

218
00:13:08,539 --> 00:13:10,582
I will be broke again.

219
00:13:10,583 --> 00:13:12,084
Why doesn't this
will solve my problem.

220
00:13:12,127 --> 00:13:13,502
They will say: it's not our problem.

221
00:13:14,169 --> 00:13:15,796
This is the...

222
00:13:15,838 --> 00:13:17,464
banana plantation.

223
00:13:18,632 --> 00:13:22,012
They say that the banana
It's like a woman,

224
00:13:22,052 --> 00:13:24,346
because it takes 9 months
to procreate.

225
00:13:24,555 --> 00:13:27,891
You pass a building
surrounded by tall grass...

226
00:13:28,308 --> 00:13:31,019
and think that,
due to his age,

227
00:13:31,020 --> 00:13:33,234
she must have been knocked over
by the Department of Health.

228
00:13:33,313 --> 00:13:36,149
"It's an outhouse,
a public courtyard."

229
00:13:36,233 --> 00:13:37,694
But when you look
again...

230
00:13:37,737 --> 00:13:41,031
you see a sign indicating
that that building is a school.

231
00:13:41,238 --> 00:13:43,740
On the plaque it is written:
"Elementary School".

232
00:13:43,741 --> 00:13:45,117
But what will be
which is a...

233
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:46,660
elementary school?

234
00:13:47,911 --> 00:13:49,163
<i>Who can tell me what
meaning of this word?</i>

235
00:13:49,204 --> 00:13:51,248
But before you start
thinking about this question,

236
00:13:51,456 --> 00:13:52,708
your heart will speed up...

237
00:13:52,709 --> 00:13:55,836
why did your driver decide
overtake the car in front of you.

238
00:13:56,253 --> 00:13:58,547
Your heart would
speed up even more...

239
00:13:58,589 --> 00:14:00,549
if you knew you didn't
there are hospitals nearby...

240
00:14:01,675 --> 00:14:05,012
and that no hospital was built
in Jamaica for many years.

241
00:14:05,429 --> 00:14:06,680
This shouldn't
worry...

242
00:14:06,889 --> 00:14:08,140
because you
is on vacation.

243
00:14:09,183 --> 00:14:12,728
The idea was to establish conditions
that the government could not fulfill.

244
00:14:13,979 --> 00:14:15,439
And when the government doesn't
I was able to fulfill them...

245
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,733
it was necessary to negotiate
a new loan.

246
00:14:17,734 --> 00:14:19,610
This loan in which
conditions were worse.

247
00:14:19,611 --> 00:14:23,155
The IMF didn't say to cut
educational programs,

248
00:14:23,197 --> 00:14:24,615
or health programs.

249
00:14:25,032 --> 00:14:29,203
Instead, they said how much
we should spend on education and health.

250
00:14:29,828 --> 00:14:33,165
And the implication of that was that
we had to cut some programs.

251
00:14:33,790 --> 00:14:35,876
Basically, what the IMF
I wanted us to do...

252
00:14:36,293 --> 00:14:37,753
was for the agent to devalue
our currency.

253
00:14:37,754 --> 00:14:40,172
This was the first objective:
make our dollar cheaper.

254
00:14:40,464 --> 00:14:43,800
They needed to increase
export...

255
00:14:44,218 --> 00:14:45,886
and reduce the
imports.

256
00:14:45,928 --> 00:14:48,180
And the best way to
To achieve this, it is making...

257
00:14:48,805 --> 00:14:50,265
the foreign currency
become more expensive.

258
00:14:50,682 --> 00:14:52,142
Since our...

259
00:14:52,143 --> 00:14:55,687
society is so dependent on
imported food,

260
00:14:55,688 --> 00:14:59,024
of imported fuel,
of books imported to go to school,

261
00:14:59,025 --> 00:15:02,986
of imported medicines... when
we devalued our currency, the value...

262
00:15:03,028 --> 00:15:05,280
of these things that we care
rises to the citizens.

263
00:15:05,697 --> 00:15:06,532
And the result of that...

264
00:15:06,533 --> 00:15:10,702
is the current economy
under foreign control.

265
00:15:10,744 --> 00:15:12,996
Not necessarily through
direct ownership...

266
00:15:13,205 --> 00:15:15,290
but through
debt mechanisms.

267
00:15:15,707 --> 00:15:18,836
In the 70s, we should
800 million dollars.

268
00:15:18,837 --> 00:15:22,798
At the end of the 80s,
we owed 4 billion dollars.

269
00:15:22,799 --> 00:15:26,343
Currently we must
7 billion dollars.

270
00:15:26,344 --> 00:15:27,803
The debt is
increasing.

271
00:15:27,845 --> 00:15:29,680
And every time
that the debt increases,

272
00:15:29,888 --> 00:15:33,225
our ability to
production and exports decrease.

273
00:15:33,851 --> 00:15:36,770
The revolution seems
be the only way out.

274
00:15:37,396 --> 00:15:40,107
It could be a
old-fashioned way of thinking.

275
00:15:41,358 --> 00:15:43,652
At this moment you are
tired of this whole landscape.

276
00:15:44,069 --> 00:15:45,946
And you want to arrive
to your destination:

277
00:15:46,029 --> 00:15:48,240
your hotel, the
your room.

278
00:15:55,747 --> 00:15:58,250
What we do is called
of "sun guarantee".

279
00:15:58,251 --> 00:16:02,212
If the sun doesn't come out
at no point of the day...

280
00:16:02,629 --> 00:16:06,175
you will be entitled to a free day or
what we call "a free night".

281
00:16:06,592 --> 00:16:08,260
These are the keys
from your room...

282
00:16:22,984 --> 00:16:24,318
How much beauty!

283
00:16:24,735 --> 00:16:26,820
You've never seen
nothing like it.

284
00:16:29,323 --> 00:16:31,200
Are you
so excited.

285
00:16:33,076 --> 00:16:36,413
You see yourself lying on the beach
enjoying that wonderful sun.

286
00:16:37,247 --> 00:16:38,916
A sun that is yours
personal friend,

287
00:16:39,750 --> 00:16:43,086
who is always ready to fend off any
type of cloud that dares to darken your day.

288
00:16:49,968 --> 00:16:53,096
You see yourself eating one
delicious local dish.

289
00:16:54,139 --> 00:16:55,390
You see yourself...

290
00:16:56,642 --> 00:16:57,893
You see yourself...

291
00:17:02,481 --> 00:17:04,775
You don't want to know what
What happens with evictions...

292
00:17:04,776 --> 00:17:06,860
when you sweat
the discharge.

293
00:17:07,694 --> 00:17:09,988
You don't want to know where
the water in your bathtub was...

294
00:17:10,030 --> 00:17:11,448
when you withdrew
the lid.

295
00:17:14,368 --> 00:17:15,410
To give you an idea,

296
00:17:15,452 --> 00:17:17,496
Jamaica does not yet have
a suitable way...

297
00:17:17,288 --> 00:17:19,164
to discard all
their waste.

298
00:17:19,790 --> 00:17:21,667
But the Caribbean Sea
It is very vast.

299
00:17:22,084 --> 00:17:23,752
And the Atlantic Ocean
It is even vaster.

300
00:17:24,586 --> 00:17:25,838
You would be perplexed
If you knew...

301
00:17:25,839 --> 00:17:28,340
the number of slaves
Africans that this ocean drowned.

302
00:17:31,051 --> 00:17:33,136
When you sit down to
eat your delicious meal,

303
00:17:33,554 --> 00:17:37,307
It's better you don't know that all
the food came from a ship from Miami.

304
00:17:39,810 --> 00:17:41,687
There is something amazing
in all of this...

305
00:17:42,104 --> 00:17:43,772
but I can't
understand at this moment.

306
00:17:45,566 --> 00:17:46,900
They're on their honeymoon, right?

307
00:17:46,692 --> 00:17:47,734
Yes.

308
00:17:47,735 --> 00:17:50,613
It's right in your face,
isn't that right?

309
00:17:50,653 --> 00:17:51,739
All right, guys.

310
00:17:51,782 --> 00:17:53,782
When you go to a club
or anywhere else...

311
00:17:53,783 --> 00:17:55,826
where you are going to drink, put
your keys under your arm,

312
00:17:55,868 --> 00:17:58,163
in your hair or on your leg,
put it where we can be.

313
00:17:58,996 --> 00:18:01,498
We will go to reception, pick up
your number and we'll take you home.

314
00:18:01,915 --> 00:18:05,169
If they vomit, it's okay.

315
00:18:05,252 --> 00:18:07,337
Drink until no
hold on longer.

316
00:18:08,589 --> 00:18:10,841
If they are completely
drunk, no problem.

317
00:18:10,883 --> 00:18:12,259
After all, you are on vacation.

318
00:18:13,594 --> 00:18:14,428
Jumping!

319
00:18:16,930 --> 00:18:20,267
And from the little jump, we
We're going to spice it up a little bit.

320
00:18:21,310 --> 00:18:24,229
The first movement that
we will do it with our feet.

321
00:18:24,646 --> 00:18:26,231
Just put them in front,
left and then right.

322
00:18:26,232 --> 00:18:27,650
Step forward,
Here we go.

323
00:18:29,860 --> 00:18:31,195
Left and
then right.

324
00:18:31,196 --> 00:18:32,070
Let's go!

325
00:18:32,154 --> 00:18:33,822
Left and
then right.

326
00:18:58,013 --> 00:19:03,018
Agriculture that is the basis
of our economy, so to speak.

327
00:19:03,019 --> 00:19:07,189
You will see that there is
many farmers...

328
00:19:08,857 --> 00:19:11,777
we have tons of cabbages
being wasted in Jamaica,

329
00:19:11,778 --> 00:19:15,531
because the goods that come
in America is cheaper...

330
00:19:16,573 --> 00:19:18,450
of what we produce here.

331
00:19:18,451 --> 00:19:19,451
For sure.

332
00:19:19,452 --> 00:19:23,247
This is how it is extracted
more than you invest.

333
00:19:24,913 --> 00:19:26,166
The Jamaica that I
knew...

334
00:19:27,249 --> 00:19:28,669
The Jamaica I grew up in,

335
00:19:28,670 --> 00:19:31,590
is no longer the same Jamaica as
you, tourist, would know today.

336
00:19:32,631 --> 00:19:34,508
That Jamaica doesn't
there is more.

337
00:19:35,759 --> 00:19:39,721
It no longer exists, partly because
because of the passage of time.

338
00:19:40,556 --> 00:19:42,850
Partly because of this
new global economy.

339
00:19:48,063 --> 00:19:48,897
Well...

340
00:19:50,357 --> 00:19:52,860
We can say that this year
It is the year of onion production.

341
00:19:52,861 --> 00:19:57,239
You can find her at
all the backyards of the houses in the vicinity.

342
00:19:58,490 --> 00:20:02,247
Everyone, the young
and the elderly...

343
00:20:03,287 --> 00:20:06,208
are involved
with the onion harvest,

344
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,999
They collect, harvest and package onions.

345
00:20:11,420 --> 00:20:15,132
So everyone was
involved with production in this district.

346
00:20:15,174 --> 00:20:16,218
Is this right?
No.

347
00:20:16,633 --> 00:20:19,970
It's just a trick.
Few do this. ()

348
00:20:21,221 --> 00:20:22,890
When is the time
of the harvest,

349
00:20:23,098 --> 00:20:24,558
you see imported potatoes,

350
00:20:25,184 --> 00:20:27,269
right in front
your house being sold.

351
00:20:27,686 --> 00:20:29,730
These are the potatoes
grown in Idaho,

352
00:20:29,771 --> 00:20:31,857
in New Brunswick and
in other places.

353
00:20:34,776 --> 00:20:35,402
Al�.

354
00:20:35,819 --> 00:20:37,487
The shipment comes
every week.

355
00:20:38,530 --> 00:20:41,033
They bring carrots
and potatoes from the United States.

356
00:20:41,241 --> 00:20:42,493
And those over there
comes from Canada.

357
00:20:43,535 --> 00:20:45,412
And the peas that are
I sell it in America.

358
00:20:46,663 --> 00:20:47,915
When I was
child,

359
00:20:49,374 --> 00:20:53,962
everyone supported themselves
peanut cultivation.

360
00:20:54,379 --> 00:20:55,839
That time
it's over.

361
00:20:57,508 --> 00:20:58,550
They are gone.

362
00:20:58,967 --> 00:20:59,927
In this land,

363
00:21:00,301 --> 00:21:02,012
we used to
plant carrots.

364
00:21:02,637 --> 00:21:04,097
Now we can't
plant more,

365
00:21:04,389 --> 00:21:06,475
because we don't have
market.

366
00:21:07,100 --> 00:21:08,769
Because of the
imported carrots.

367
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,565
It's an insult
It's our dignity,

368
00:21:14,191 --> 00:21:18,153
we will not be able to produce
and sell on our own market.

369
00:21:19,613 --> 00:21:21,490
This is a market for
free trade.

370
00:21:21,698 --> 00:21:24,409
I learned this because of
financial problem...

371
00:21:24,618 --> 00:21:28,789
that the government
are facing...

372
00:21:26,703 --> 00:21:27,287
with the World Bank, the IMF.

373
00:21:29,414 --> 00:21:33,168
They were the ones who instituted the officials
in government as we know it.

374
00:21:34,628 --> 00:21:36,922
We had a
protectionist market.

375
00:21:37,548 --> 00:21:39,216
The government said:
Nothing important.

376
00:21:40,050 --> 00:21:42,344
And so we compete
with each other.

377
00:21:47,766 --> 00:21:50,477
In the past we couldn't
bring imported products because...

378
00:21:50,478 --> 00:21:51,937
of the country's politics.

379
00:21:52,980 --> 00:21:54,231
But recently
that has changed.

380
00:21:55,065 --> 00:21:58,193
The person who brings their
goods like this...

381
00:21:58,819 --> 00:22:02,155
Why weren't you given
legal concessions to bring a team.

382
00:22:02,197 --> 00:22:03,407
So I'm not
against him.

383
00:22:03,824 --> 00:22:05,701
I'm against politics
of makeup.

384
00:22:05,702 --> 00:22:07,161
Against the person who
It's silly enough...

385
00:22:07,202 --> 00:22:08,829
to sign
such a policy.

386
00:22:08,871 --> 00:22:14,877
One of the precepts that the IMF
usually implement...

387
00:22:15,502 --> 00:22:20,090
is to make countries end
with artificial trade barriers.

388
00:22:21,341 --> 00:22:24,261
They will request the
country in which the IMF has a program,

389
00:22:25,095 --> 00:22:28,432
so as not to impose barriers
artificial imports,

390
00:22:29,266 --> 00:22:34,688
and not to subsidize
excessively exports.

391
00:22:35,522 --> 00:22:35,689
When the person
bring your merchandise,

392
00:22:35,690 --> 00:22:36,690
to

393
00:23:05,469 --> 00:23:09,097
If you really want the loan
you have to accept their conditions.

394
00:23:09,515 --> 00:23:12,851
Therefore, generally
the IMF can...

395
00:23:12,852 --> 00:23:14,311
whatever.

396
00:23:15,145 --> 00:23:18,690
Why do we believe they should
reduce trade barriers?

397
00:23:19,107 --> 00:23:21,610
The answer is that Jamaica
It is a very small country.

398
00:23:24,947 --> 00:23:29,117
It is not a country that would develop
only producing for themselves.

399
00:23:29,535 --> 00:23:31,620
We are convinced that...

400
00:23:31,662 --> 00:23:35,582
a country will grow better if
is integrated into the world economy.

401
00:23:35,791 --> 00:23:37,876
That is,
reduce tariffs...

402
00:23:38,502 --> 00:23:40,587
and authorize
imports...

403
00:23:41,213 --> 00:23:44,132
so that the population has
access to the world's goods.

404
00:23:44,133 --> 00:23:46,635
So that they do not become dependent
your little one...

405
00:23:47,886 --> 00:23:49,137
small economy.

406
00:23:49,555 --> 00:23:52,474
Sellers also
complain about the large number...

407
00:23:52,475 --> 00:23:54,768
of fruits and vegetables
foreign companies on the market.

408
00:23:54,977 --> 00:23:58,522
And they claim that all this foreign food
It's hurting your business.

409
00:23:58,939 --> 00:23:59,523
carrot, ginger
foreign...

410
00:24:03,527 --> 00:24:04,778
all things
from the market...

411
00:24:05,195 --> 00:24:07,072
But supermarkets seem
be doing well...

412
00:24:07,114 --> 00:24:08,282
with all these
products from afar.

413
00:24:08,740 --> 00:24:11,451
Since they are cheaper
than local products.

414
00:24:11,869 --> 00:24:15,622
Are you saying that the lettuce
foreigner and carrots...

415
00:24:15,831 --> 00:24:18,542
are cheaper than the
lettuce and local carrots?

416
00:24:18,543 --> 00:24:20,210
Yes, that's what
I'm saying.

417
00:24:21,253 --> 00:24:24,381
If you are the owner of
a supermarket,

418
00:24:24,423 --> 00:24:28,552
and be able to take
advantage of the market, will take.

419
00:24:29,178 --> 00:24:32,514
We import the "reapers"
fertilizers and seeds.

420
00:24:33,765 --> 00:24:35,017
What do we have for
collaborate?

421
00:24:35,851 --> 00:24:37,102
Just sunlight...

422
00:24:37,519 --> 00:24:38,770
and our effort.

423
00:24:39,605 --> 00:24:43,150
If we use this to produce a product
of better quality the cost will increase.

424
00:24:47,321 --> 00:24:48,572
The problem is...

425
00:24:49,406 --> 00:24:50,866
that we are
competing...

426
00:24:51,700 --> 00:24:54,828
in a situation
unfair.

427
00:24:54,829 --> 00:24:58,373
In the United States, no one
borrow money...

428
00:24:58,582 --> 00:25:00,042
with interest above 10%.

429
00:25:00,043 --> 00:25:02,753
And the lowest interest
from here it is 19%.

430
00:25:03,795 --> 00:25:06,298
It can reach up to 40%.

431
00:25:06,507 --> 00:25:08,800
In Washington, they
They looked at us and said:

432
00:25:09,843 --> 00:25:13,805
<i>No, no, no. Your country's inflation
reached 18% last year.</i>

433
00:25:14,431 --> 00:25:17,768
<i>Based on interest theory
and due to its inflation,</i>

434
00:25:17,769 --> 00:25:20,896
<i>we will not allow
lend to their farmers</i>

435
00:25:20,897 --> 00:25:24,858
<i>the money we give you
we lend at 12%.</i>

436
00:25:25,901 --> 00:25:27,569
<i>You should
buy 23%.</i>

437
00:25:27,986 --> 00:25:30,697
I remember traveling twice
times to Washington...

438
00:25:30,906 --> 00:25:34,451
to say that politics
economy was wrong,

439
00:25:34,452 --> 00:25:39,039
what economic policy
was wrong on a social level.

440
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,333
That we should
force the farmers...

441
00:25:41,959 --> 00:25:45,087
pay this interest rate if
we want to borrow some money.

442
00:25:45,921 --> 00:25:49,258
Typically, in a
IMF program there will be...

443
00:25:49,883 --> 00:25:54,804
some... hypotheses about
what the interest rate will be.

444
00:25:54,888 --> 00:25:59,746
And if you call
American farmers

445
00:26:00,519 --> 00:26:04,232
and tell them to borrow something
for his farm he will have to pay 23%.

446
00:26:04,273 --> 00:26:08,235
They would run to protest
in the White House or Congress.

447
00:26:08,443 --> 00:26:12,616
"This is their problem. We
We are dealing with your problem."

448
00:26:16,368 --> 00:26:18,871
We use factions
to cultivate.

449
00:26:19,496 --> 00:26:23,041
Most of the world
uses machines.

450
00:26:24,585 --> 00:26:25,127
Therefore...

451
00:26:25,170 --> 00:26:26,924
make the comparison:

452
00:26:27,004 --> 00:26:30,132
can a faction compete
with a machine?

453
00:26:30,549 --> 00:26:32,217
The sector of
agriculture...

454
00:26:33,051 --> 00:26:35,137
is almost destroyed
than completely.

455
00:26:37,014 --> 00:26:41,185
Everything that brought self-confidence
for our resources...

456
00:26:41,186 --> 00:26:44,938
was highly discouraged by
because of this emerging ideology...

457
00:26:44,939 --> 00:26:47,232
which is now called
of globalization.

458
00:26:47,649 --> 00:26:49,943
My name is
Tom Lapitsky.

459
00:26:49,944 --> 00:26:52,863
I'm with the commission
potato from the United States,

460
00:26:54,114 --> 00:26:58,076
we represent about
6 thousand potato producers...

461
00:26:58,494 --> 00:26:59,953
of the United States.

462
00:27:00,454 --> 00:27:03,916
One of the markets we have
quite interesting...

463
00:27:04,333 --> 00:27:05,792
It's right here
in Jamaica.

464
00:27:06,835 --> 00:27:08,504
Go up there with Mr. Hamison.

465
00:27:09,463 --> 00:27:11,006
Here we go.
Perfect.

466
00:27:11,007 --> 00:27:12,883
Everyone
saying "potato".

467
00:27:13,300 --> 00:27:15,177
Potato...

468
00:27:15,302 --> 00:27:17,054
Jamaican Potato.

469
00:27:17,888 --> 00:27:22,267
Some people from Washington
They made us some offers...

470
00:27:24,144 --> 00:27:25,812
We asked them what
They wanted to buy from us.

471
00:27:26,146 --> 00:27:28,106
They had no pretensions
to buy anything,

472
00:27:28,107 --> 00:27:29,358
they just wanted
sell...

473
00:27:29,983 --> 00:27:30,816
potato seeds.

474
00:27:30,859 --> 00:27:32,277
We don't need
potato seeds.

475
00:27:32,319 --> 00:27:33,111
This is not the
our problem.

476
00:27:33,529 --> 00:27:36,657
I'll give you a jewel if I can
ship products to the United States.

477
00:27:37,908 --> 00:27:39,159
I signed a contract...

478
00:27:40,077 --> 00:27:42,746
to produce melon
adad...

479
00:27:43,872 --> 00:27:44,998
and cherry tomatoes.

480
00:27:46,041 --> 00:27:47,084
Do you know what happened?

481
00:27:47,918 --> 00:27:50,212
Everything I ordered
was rejected.

482
00:27:50,213 --> 00:27:52,714
They said it was
outside quality standards.

483
00:27:53,549 --> 00:27:55,008
They said he wasn't
packed right,

484
00:27:55,843 --> 00:27:58,762
that the size of the products did not have
the exact size they consumed.

485
00:27:59,805 --> 00:28:03,559
and so they continued,
with other things.

486
00:28:03,976 --> 00:28:06,687
Do you know what I did?
I threw it all away.

487
00:28:07,229 --> 00:28:09,189
NAFTA was like
it was really called,

488
00:28:09,398 --> 00:28:10,524
a free trade.

489
00:28:10,525 --> 00:28:12,694
There was nothing free.
It was like the Mississippi River...

490
00:28:12,737 --> 00:28:15,028
that runs in a single direction
entering the Gulf of Mexico,

491
00:28:16,071 --> 00:28:17,447
never rising to
mountain.

492
00:28:17,948 --> 00:28:20,868
In this way, the Gulf of Mexico
can absorb,

493
00:28:20,869 --> 00:28:26,425
Jamaica cannot absorb the current
which comes from Europe and North America.

494
00:28:26,498 --> 00:28:27,959
Everything falls on us.

495
00:28:30,878 --> 00:28:33,383
This is our country,
our territory.

496
00:28:33,547 --> 00:28:35,468
Give back our market.

497
00:28:36,091 --> 00:28:38,595
Don't try to impose on us
its ideology.

498
00:28:40,262 --> 00:28:44,016
Nowadays you can see that
the thieves are desperate...

499
00:28:45,058 --> 00:28:47,561
Because of this, we farmers
we have to create plans.

500
00:28:48,478 --> 00:28:51,523
I'm happy to see
that we use...

501
00:28:52,566 --> 00:28:54,484
the system of
cuttings and needles.

502
00:28:55,068 --> 00:28:57,988
There are needles inside
of these stakes.

503
00:28:58,739 --> 00:29:00,699
When a thief
try to catch...

504
00:29:02,075 --> 00:29:05,496
an onion, he
it pricks with the needle.

505
00:29:08,624 --> 00:29:10,834
I learned from
Bible,

506
00:29:11,251 --> 00:29:14,671
in the Second Epistle
to Timothy, Chapter 3, verse 1,

507
00:29:14,671 --> 00:29:18,008
that in the last days there will be times
critical, difficult to manage.

508
00:29:18,842 --> 00:29:20,719
So I'm looking forward
so that it is arduous...

509
00:29:20,928 --> 00:29:24,056
and I'm seeing a stake
right in my heart.

510
00:29:24,057 --> 00:29:28,227
In the Bible it is written "times
difficult to manage" and not "impossible".

511
00:29:38,237 --> 00:29:40,739
We have a government,

512
00:29:40,739 --> 00:29:42,407
but the government won't...

513
00:29:41,741 --> 00:29:45,744
the kings surrendering the people
to do what they want...

514
00:29:45,745 --> 00:29:49,289
and what are they doing
between the United States government

515
00:29:49,331 --> 00:29:50,958
and the government of Jamaica.

516
00:29:50,959 --> 00:29:55,546
It's a real hunt
of our class.

517
00:29:55,754 --> 00:29:59,341
What ruins the
our government...

518
00:29:59,383 --> 00:30:10,060
is that they are
they want the money. ()

519
00:30:53,729 --> 00:30:57,274
This ranch is
in the family since the 40s.

520
00:30:57,900 --> 00:31:00,194
My father managed the farm
before me.

521
00:31:00,195 --> 00:31:03,030
And there was growth
continuous production process.

522
00:31:04,281 --> 00:31:07,493
The industry grew from
18 million liters per year...

523
00:31:07,910 --> 00:31:08,744
to more than 30 million.

524
00:31:09,786 --> 00:31:12,706
I believe they were produced
around 34 million liters...

525
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:15,209
in 1991.

526
00:31:15,751 --> 00:31:17,085
In 1992,

527
00:31:17,503 --> 00:31:19,588
the government carried out
an agreement...

528
00:31:19,589 --> 00:31:20,589
with the Inter-American Bank
Development for...

529
00:31:20,590 --> 00:31:25,219
borrow 50 million
of American dollars...

530
00:31:25,220 --> 00:31:28,972
whose destiny was to assist
agriculture and production.

531
00:31:30,349 --> 00:31:32,309
The condition of the agreement...

532
00:31:32,726 --> 00:31:37,105
was that we should end
with any type of local subsidy.

533
00:31:38,982 --> 00:31:42,528
And that we shouldn't come
control...

534
00:31:43,153 --> 00:31:48,367
the import of powdered milk,
meat, etc.

535
00:31:48,909 --> 00:31:52,329
Almost every time the IMF
lend money to...

536
00:31:53,372 --> 00:31:55,249
a developing country,

537
00:31:55,250 --> 00:31:58,794
not only the IMF but the Bank
Mundial will be lending,

538
00:31:58,795 --> 00:32:02,965
and the Inter-American Development Bank,
if it is for a country in America,

539
00:31:59,796 --> 00:32:05,884
which is originally a
part of the World Bank,

540
00:32:05,885 --> 00:32:07,052
will also be
taking out a loan.

541
00:32:07,761 --> 00:32:10,889
Can't get a loan
at the World Bank without the IMF not approving.

542
00:32:10,890 --> 00:32:13,809
And you can't get a loan
at the IMF without the World Bank approving it.

543
00:32:13,810 --> 00:32:15,060
And you can't do it
neither of them...

544
00:32:15,061 --> 00:32:17,563
if the Inter-American Bank
of Development does not approve.

545
00:32:17,771 --> 00:32:20,482
Cross conditions

546
00:32:20,899 --> 00:32:25,279
Then you are asphyxiated by two.

547
00:32:26,113 --> 00:32:28,198
Because we are working
jointly in that country,

548
00:32:29,449 --> 00:32:32,369
we have to make sure we don't
there will be opposing objectives.

549
00:32:32,370 --> 00:32:34,037
Therefore, generally
we agree...

550
00:32:34,663 --> 00:32:35,914
with what you need
be done.

551
00:32:36,039 --> 00:32:37,791
Along with the agreement
loan...

552
00:32:38,834 --> 00:32:40,085
but not to
same time,

553
00:32:41,545 --> 00:32:43,505
the World Organization
of Commerce

554
00:32:44,548 --> 00:32:46,550
included all
member countries...

555
00:32:46,967 --> 00:32:49,887
in this new order
global trade.

556
00:32:51,555 --> 00:32:53,015
This new order
worldwide...

557
00:32:54,266 --> 00:32:57,811
meant that there would be no
government regulations...

558
00:32:58,312 --> 00:33:00,105
in the trade of any product.

559
00:33:00,522 --> 00:33:02,399
They said, "Look,

560
00:33:04,067 --> 00:33:08,947
if we lend you 50 million
of dollars, in return...

561
00:33:08,985 --> 00:33:11,992
you will have to end
all trade barriers.

562
00:33:12,534 --> 00:33:15,329
And they will have to compete
with us...

563
00:33:15,746 --> 00:33:17,750
on the same level.

564
00:33:18,457 --> 00:33:20,417
But that's just
small talk.

565
00:33:20,751 --> 00:33:25,547
It was from this moment
that the competition for milk became severe.

566
00:33:25,756 --> 00:33:28,675
We ended up having an influx
of powdered milk...

567
00:33:28,718 --> 00:33:32,012
what ended up destroying
the dairy industry.

568
00:33:32,846 --> 00:33:37,226
Powdered milk has become a
new way of consuming milk.

569
00:33:38,060 --> 00:33:41,605
And the dairy industry was
unable to sell their fresh milk.

570
00:33:42,648 --> 00:33:45,150
Frank Quarry stated that he has
fresh milk provided...

571
00:33:45,192 --> 00:33:47,611
� Century Farm Products
15 years ago.

572
00:33:48,070 --> 00:33:49,738
After providing
Sunday...

573
00:33:49,739 --> 00:33:52,742
the company told you that
there was a lot of milk...

574
00:33:52,866 --> 00:33:55,786
and that he would no longer collect milk
for an indefinite period of time.

575
00:33:56,369 --> 00:33:58,203
Thus, without having to
whoever sells the quantity...

576
00:33:58,245 --> 00:34:00,374
of milk equivalent to
five days of work...

577
00:34:00,375 --> 00:34:01,375
he had to throw it away.

578
00:34:03,502 --> 00:34:05,796
Dairy cows must
be milked twice a day.

579
00:34:05,921 --> 00:34:06,797
Every day,

580
00:34:07,047 --> 00:34:09,132
365 days of the year.

581
00:34:10,092 --> 00:34:12,344
Therefore, if milk
today and yesterday...

582
00:34:12,386 --> 00:34:15,597
you are not sold
you have to open the tap...

583
00:34:16,306 --> 00:34:18,308
and leave the milk
drip onto the floor.

584
00:34:21,436 --> 00:34:22,688
This farm produced...

585
00:34:22,896 --> 00:34:26,859
about 3 thousand gallons
of milk per day.

586
00:34:27,276 --> 00:34:30,404
Nowadays we do not produce
more than 600 liters per day.

587
00:34:31,029 --> 00:34:32,364
The animals we lost...

588
00:34:32,698 --> 00:34:35,826
represent work
of many people.

589
00:34:36,451 --> 00:34:37,828
Including my father.

590
00:34:38,829 --> 00:34:42,291
Obviously it was a decision
very difficult to take when...

591
00:34:42,292 --> 00:34:45,002
we decided to convert these
cows in hamburger meat.

592
00:34:46,378 --> 00:34:51,258
It's incredible how we managed to produce
powdered milk at a cheaper cost...

593
00:34:51,466 --> 00:34:55,637
than fresh milk, when
Supposedly it should cost more.

594
00:34:56,847 --> 00:34:59,808
This happens because some
products produced here...

595
00:34:59,809 --> 00:35:03,896
are sold
jointly.

596
00:35:04,188 --> 00:35:06,899
c

597
00:35:07,107 --> 00:35:11,445
Certain areas in
United States subsidizes...

598
00:35:11,491 --> 00:35:15,240
its exports of
137% powdered milk.

599
00:35:16,492 --> 00:35:17,951
Nowadays, no one...

600
00:35:18,994 --> 00:35:22,122
no one can
compete with it.

601
00:35:27,211 --> 00:35:28,795
The result is that...

602
00:35:29,421 --> 00:35:31,298
we have no guarantee
of national foods.

603
00:35:31,299 --> 00:35:35,677
And when the price of
powdered milk has its real value,

604
00:35:35,678 --> 00:35:38,805
that is, when there is no more
subsidies from first world countries...

605
00:35:38,806 --> 00:35:40,474
from Europe to North America,

606
00:35:40,475 --> 00:35:44,436
it will be more expensive to produce
than local milk.

607
00:35:45,479 --> 00:35:46,939
And what will we do in the meantime?

608
00:35:47,356 --> 00:35:48,815
We were left out of the market.

609
00:35:51,568 --> 00:35:55,489
It is unlikely that when Jamaica does not
can buy powdered milk anymore,

610
00:35:55,906 --> 00:35:58,408
we be able
to restart the dairy industry.

611
00:36:02,579 --> 00:36:05,499
Therefore, between the government of
Jamaica, the IMF and...

612
00:36:05,626 --> 00:36:07,918
and Banco Interamerico de Comercio...

613
00:36:07,919 --> 00:36:10,295
we ended up in this situation.

614
00:36:11,338 --> 00:36:14,258
I believe our government was...

615
00:36:14,883 --> 00:36:17,386
perspectiveless and weak.

616
00:36:22,391 --> 00:36:25,393
Here we go. When
on the count of 3 we will release him.

617
00:36:25,393 --> 00:36:26,354
Don't disappoint us, Charlie.

618
00:36:27,020 --> 00:36:27,396
Um...

619
00:36:28,146 --> 00:36:28,856
Two...

620
00:36:29,481 --> 00:36:30,107
Three...

621
00:36:30,732 --> 00:36:33,443
We are looking for
biggest bomb this afternoon.

622
00:36:34,278 --> 00:36:37,406
My God, it's certainly
it was a big bomb.

623
00:36:37,614 --> 00:36:39,700
Come on, guys.

624
00:36:42,202 --> 00:36:43,662
Jamaica is beautiful.

625
00:36:45,122 --> 00:36:46,708
Jamaica is very beautiful.

626
00:36:48,458 --> 00:36:50,878
So beautiful that sometimes
your beauty seems unreal.

627
00:36:52,004 --> 00:36:55,757
Sometimes it's so beautiful it seems
which was made for fun.

628
00:36:56,299 --> 00:36:59,928
No sea water could have
so many shades of blue at once.

629
00:37:00,554 --> 00:37:03,682
No real day could be so
perfectly sunny and radiant.

630
00:37:04,725 --> 00:37:08,395
What would a normal person take?
to live this way every day?

631
00:37:09,938 --> 00:37:13,692
You experience a delicious
Jamaican banana for the first time.

632
00:37:13,693 --> 00:37:17,863
He asks how he could never have
eaten a banana as sweet as that.

633
00:37:25,579 --> 00:37:29,124
Daylight comes and me wan' go home

634
00:37:30,167 --> 00:37:31,418
day,

635
00:37:32,377 --> 00:37:34,129
tell me day, tell me day, tell me day

636
00:37:34,129 --> 00:37:36,548
Tell me day, tell me day-o

637
00:37:37,758 --> 00:37:42,471
Daylight comes and me wan' go home

638
00:37:44,431 --> 00:37:47,684
Work all night on a drink of rum

639
00:37:48,519 --> 00:37:51,855
Daylight comes and me wan' go home

640
00:37:52,523 --> 00:37:55,400
Stack banana till mornin' eat

641
00:37:56,652 --> 00:37:59,571
Daylight come and me wan' go home

642
00:38:00,405 --> 00:38:03,742
Come, Mister tally man, tally me banana

643
00:38:04,368 --> 00:38:07,496
Daylight come and me wan' go home

644
00:38:08,121 --> 00:38:11,458
Come, Mister tally man, tally me banana

645
00:38:12,084 --> 00:38:15,212
Daylight come and me wan' go home

646
00:38:15,838 --> 00:38:19,383
A beautiful bunch o' ripe banana

647
00:38:20,008 --> 00:38:23,345
Daylight come and me wan' go home

648
00:38:23,971 --> 00:38:27,516
Hide the deadly black tarantula

649
00:38:27,724 --> 00:38:30,853
Daylight come and me wan' go home

650
00:38:31,058 --> 00:38:34,815
Lift six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch

651
00:38:35,858 --> 00:38:38,777
Daylight come and me wan' go home

652
00:38:39,403 --> 00:38:42,739
Six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch

653
00:38:43,574 --> 00:38:46,702
Daylight come and me wan' go home

654
00:38:47,411 --> 00:38:50,247
Day, me say day-o

655
00:38:51,915 --> 00:38:58,172
I was born on a farm
banana and I always worked there.

656
00:38:59,423 --> 00:39:01,300
Until recently...

657
00:39:01,505 --> 00:39:04,428
the World Trade Organization
ruined our business.

658
00:39:04,845 --> 00:39:07,764
I have been selling bananas
since the 60s.

659
00:39:08,390 --> 00:39:09,016
And...

660
00:39:10,267 --> 00:39:12,561
not lately
I have exported...

661
00:39:12,853 --> 00:39:15,063
because of this situation
and how they treat us.

662
00:39:15,063 --> 00:39:16,523
We produce to export...

663
00:39:16,940 --> 00:39:20,068
and we would love to continue
exporting as much as we can.

664
00:39:22,613 --> 00:39:25,073
Jamaica currently produces...

665
00:39:25,908 --> 00:39:30,496
about 90 tons
of banana.

666
00:39:31,538 --> 00:39:34,249
And they all go to
the United Kingdom.

667
00:39:34,875 --> 00:39:37,169
This is our market.

668
00:39:39,463 --> 00:39:42,174
Europeans who have
colonies in the past...

669
00:39:42,882 --> 00:39:44,051
they thought...

670
00:39:45,511 --> 00:39:49,473
That would be good, let's put it like this
way, help these colonies...

671
00:39:49,681 --> 00:39:51,975
to overcome some of
your difficulties and...

672
00:39:52,392 --> 00:39:56,563
and prepare them for new technologies,
preparing them for the future.

673
00:39:57,814 --> 00:40:00,108
The Lom� Convention...

674
00:40:01,568 --> 00:40:04,488
It is an agreement between the
ACP countries...

675
00:40:04,489 --> 00:40:09,076
(Africa, Caribbean and Pacific) with
the European Union.

676
00:40:09,077 --> 00:40:14,498
In which ACP countries would be given some
privileges for having been colonies.

677
00:40:15,748 --> 00:40:20,963
These European countries feel that
they should give something back to the colonies...

678
00:40:20,964 --> 00:40:25,133
to help them find
their places in this world.

679
00:40:25,134 --> 00:40:27,427
As for the banana trade...

680
00:40:27,845 --> 00:40:30,764
we have, in Europe,
a guaranteed market.

681
00:40:31,180 --> 00:40:32,432
No import tariff.

682
00:40:36,812 --> 00:40:39,731
and to be completely frank,
I believe that Mr. Linder...

683
00:40:39,940 --> 00:40:43,277
and the millionaires of Chiquita
are pressing...

684
00:40:44,111 --> 00:40:48,907
the former hill countries through...

685
00:40:48,908 --> 00:40:54,955
of the WTO, to make
She agrees that these privileges...

686
00:40:55,789 --> 00:41:00,169
are unconstitutional and
contrary to the WTO regime.

687
00:41:01,837 --> 00:41:03,714
The United States does not
produce bananas...

688
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:14,766
and multinationals are
inciting the government to protest...

689
00:41:14,767 --> 00:41:24,151
before the WTO and affect the lives of
several people in ACP countries.

690
00:41:24,982 --> 00:41:29,990
Regarding the worrying subject
of bananas and the recent WTO decision

691
00:41:29,991 --> 00:41:31,450
President Bill Clinton
assured the Caribbean...

692
00:41:31,451 --> 00:41:34,161
that your country does not act
to their detriment.

693
00:41:34,369 --> 00:41:36,872
By persisting in winning
our case with the WTO...

694
00:41:37,706 --> 00:41:40,417
our target was a system
discriminatory European...

695
00:41:41,043 --> 00:41:42,419
and not non-Caribbean.

696
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:46,673
I confirm that as we seek a
solution with its European partners...

697
00:41:46,882 --> 00:41:51,053
we will continue to support the entry of bananas
Caribbean products on the European market without taxes...

698
00:41:51,678 --> 00:41:55,224
and we will look for ways to promote a
diversification of the Caribbean market.

699
00:41:55,516 --> 00:41:58,143
We do not have access to
American market.

700
00:41:58,769 --> 00:42:02,314
We only have access to Europe
and England, in particular...

701
00:42:02,523 --> 00:42:05,234
and this is what Chiquita and
the United States...

702
00:42:05,235 --> 00:42:07,110
they are trying to destroy.

703
00:42:07,110 --> 00:42:10,239
Large companies in which
United States owns...

704
00:42:10,656 --> 00:42:14,618
like Chiquita, Dole already
have the domain...

705
00:42:14,741 --> 00:42:17,329
95% of the market
banana world.

706
00:42:17,538 --> 00:42:19,832
But these companies
they want the entire market.

707
00:42:20,874 --> 00:42:23,168
Chiquita, Dole, Del Monte...

708
00:42:23,169 --> 00:42:27,130
All these bananas are
cultivated in Latin America.

709
00:42:28,799 --> 00:42:30,676
Life in Latin America is...

710
00:42:30,677 --> 00:42:34,221
It is the will of the masters...

711
00:42:35,889 --> 00:42:37,558
who is the owner
of these plantations.

712
00:42:38,183 --> 00:42:40,477
Workers' wages
are absurdly low.

713
00:42:40,478 --> 00:42:44,648
1 or 2 cents a day.

714
00:42:45,274 --> 00:42:47,776
No one can live
with this quantity.

715
00:42:48,234 --> 00:42:52,364
Surely you would be able to
produce cheap bananas like this...

716
00:42:52,365 --> 00:42:54,241
but at what social and moral cost?

717
00:42:54,867 --> 00:42:57,578
Chiquita banana plantation
Honduras

718
00:42:59,662 --> 00:43:02,791
Some workers at
Chiquita went on strike.

719
00:43:03,417 --> 00:43:08,005
They were literally forced
by arms to return to work.

720
00:43:08,462 --> 00:43:09,882
Twenty-three people
returned to work.

721
00:43:10,090 --> 00:43:11,341
There was no union.

722
00:43:16,762 --> 00:43:22,603
Our bananas cost more
produced than those in South America.

723
00:43:24,479 --> 00:43:28,025
We need 11 dollars
to produce 18 kilos of bananas...

724
00:43:28,026 --> 00:43:32,821
while for them to produce
this quantity costs 5 dollars.

725
00:43:34,281 --> 00:43:37,409
we are unable to compete
with the prices of South American bananas.

726
00:43:37,826 --> 00:43:41,371
Well, in the past things
they were very good to us...

727
00:43:41,372 --> 00:43:47,836
but currently things are bad
because production fell a lot.

728
00:43:48,462 --> 00:43:52,216
Three years ago, we had
around 150 workers.

729
00:43:52,633 --> 00:43:55,135
Nowadays, there are about
50 workers on the farm.

730
00:43:55,761 --> 00:43:59,306
My farm, in particular, has
sought out by investors to...

731
00:43:59,307 --> 00:44:02,434
increase our capital
these last 3 years.

732
00:44:02,643 --> 00:44:05,979
But especially after
of the WTO decision,

733
00:44:06,188 --> 00:44:07,648
nobody cares
by banana.

734
00:44:07,649 --> 00:44:11,819
Banks will not invest,
nor private investors

735
00:44:12,027 --> 00:44:13,695
because the future
appears to be dark.

736
00:44:13,904 --> 00:44:18,200
In the past,
planting bananas was good.

737
00:44:18,367 --> 00:44:20,577
We could call the
"green gold" banana...

738
00:44:20,994 --> 00:44:23,497
because the farm could
export your bananas...

739
00:44:23,914 --> 00:44:27,251
I could have a good village,
I could have a car...

740
00:44:27,252 --> 00:44:31,630
but today you can't,
barely survive.

741
00:44:32,381 --> 00:44:36,009
We can only plant bananas
because we love doing it.

742
00:44:37,594 --> 00:44:40,180
But you can't take it off anymore
our livelihood from bananas.

743
00:44:40,806 --> 00:44:43,308
This is the reason, one of the
main reasons,

744
00:44:43,309 --> 00:44:47,271
for young people to go out on the streets
looting and shooting...

745
00:44:47,272 --> 00:44:49,982
because your parents don't
they can no longer contain them.

746
00:44:51,024 --> 00:44:52,693
Because with the banana,
just with the banana...

747
00:44:52,694 --> 00:44:55,404
we managed to put
our children in a school.

748
00:45:00,409 --> 00:45:03,120
I wish better things
were happening to us...

749
00:45:03,537 --> 00:45:06,456
than cutting us off
completely out of the market...

750
00:45:07,708 --> 00:45:08,542
here in Jamaica.

751
00:45:13,547 --> 00:45:15,007
Very well then...

752
00:45:19,803 --> 00:45:22,514
If you want to accompany us, that's fine.
If not, no problem.

753
00:45:27,102 --> 00:45:28,353
� Good morning, everyone.
 � Good morning.

754
00:45:28,354 --> 00:45:30,230
 � Welcome to Jamaica.
 � Thank you.

755
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:33,775
My name is Jean.
I will be your driver today.

756
00:45:36,278 --> 00:45:37,946
to

757
00:45:42,534 --> 00:45:44,119
 � First time in Jamaica?
 � Yes

758
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:46,288
 � Where are you from?
 � Chicago.

759
00:45:47,039 --> 00:45:48,248
It's California.
 � Very good.

760
00:45:48,582 --> 00:45:49,249
 � England.

761
00:45:56,507 --> 00:45:58,175
Today is my first
day at work.

762
00:45:58,509 --> 00:46:00,469
Tomorrow I will take off mine
driver's license.

763
00:46:05,682 --> 00:46:08,185
The tallest mountain
we have the Blue Mountain.

764
00:46:08,727 --> 00:46:11,313
It is 2147 meters high.

765
00:46:12,356 --> 00:46:14,024
That's where the
best coffee...

766
00:46:14,858 --> 00:46:16,527
and it's the best in the world.

767
00:46:17,152 --> 00:46:18,821
This is the Blue Mountain of coffee.

768
00:46:59,486 --> 00:47:03,031
You see natives, and are amazed at the
things they can do with their hair.

769
00:47:03,657 --> 00:47:06,994
the fashion they make from
of cheap things and common clothes

770
00:47:08,036 --> 00:47:09,079
Are you enjoying it?

771
00:47:09,997 --> 00:47:11,790
Sitting on the side of the street...

772
00:47:14,585 --> 00:47:16,587
having all
world time.

773
00:47:18,587 --> 00:47:20,132
You will look at them
and you should think:

774
00:47:20,549 --> 00:47:22,634
"They're so relaxed,
so accommodating,

775
00:47:22,845 --> 00:47:24,303
They are never in a hurry."

776
00:47:37,315 --> 00:47:40,110
All natives from anywhere
They are potential tourists...

777
00:47:41,195 --> 00:47:43,489
and every tourist is a native
from somewhere.

778
00:47:44,948 --> 00:47:46,825
Every native would like
find a way out.

779
00:47:47,868 --> 00:47:49,328
Every native would like
to rest.

780
00:47:50,162 --> 00:47:51,830
Every native would like
of a trip.

781
00:47:52,456 --> 00:47:55,375
But some natives...
majority of natives in the world...

782
00:47:55,376 --> 00:47:56,835
can't go to
nowhere.

783
00:47:57,252 --> 00:48:00,173
They are too poor to
escape from the reality of their lives.

784
00:48:01,006 --> 00:48:03,926
And they are too poor to live
appropriately where they live,

785
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:07,638
which is the place that you, tourist,
want to visit.

786
00:48:08,305 --> 00:48:12,059
When a native sees you,
a tourist, they envy you...

787
00:48:12,893 --> 00:48:16,438
they envy your capacity for power
cross your own banalities and borders.

788
00:48:17,898 --> 00:48:21,235
they envy your ability
to convert their banality and profligacy...

789
00:48:21,443 --> 00:48:23,737
into a source of pleasure
for yourself.

790
00:48:53,141 --> 00:48:57,937
Two, three...
He finished...

791
00:48:57,935 --> 00:48:59,898
Look at this! What
tranquility!

792
00:48:59,899 --> 00:49:02,317
He started drinking
the second beer and...

793
00:49:02,318 --> 00:49:03,569
it's over!

794
00:49:04,611 --> 00:49:06,488
Let's do it, guys.
Let's root for Drew!

795
00:49:08,568 --> 00:49:09,408
Oh, kid!

796
00:49:17,789 --> 00:49:18,917
Oh, kid!

797
00:49:22,337 --> 00:49:25,257
My God! Try if
keep upright.

798
00:49:28,259 --> 00:49:29,219
Oh, kid!

799
00:49:30,344 --> 00:49:32,347
Let's do it, guys.
Round of applause for Doug!

800
00:49:39,312 --> 00:49:41,940
If you employ four
workers,

801
00:49:42,357 --> 00:49:44,651
How much will you pay them?
for a week?

802
00:49:45,277 --> 00:49:49,239
How much will you earn per day thanks
to these workers?

803
00:49:49,781 --> 00:49:52,576
Everything you earn
will be taken out...

804
00:49:53,202 --> 00:49:57,998
and nothing will be left in the country, and so the country
becomes increasingly poor.

805
00:49:58,624 --> 00:50:01,543
And people are staying
increasingly frustrated.

806
00:50:01,668 --> 00:50:04,881
Like in the Free Zone, where
we became slaves,

807
00:50:05,296 --> 00:50:08,842
you will see that the workers
normal people are working...

808
00:50:08,842 --> 00:50:12,596
to earn much less than
that company would pay...

809
00:50:12,597 --> 00:50:14,681
to a worker in America.

810
00:50:41,666 --> 00:50:43,334
All people who are
entering or leaving...

811
00:50:43,334 --> 00:50:46,588
from the Kingston Free Zone
are subject to review.

812
00:50:49,508 --> 00:50:53,262
The Free Zone is an area
which I would consider...

813
00:50:53,263 --> 00:50:55,556
as a State in a country.

814
00:51:10,362 --> 00:51:14,449
We sew,
we fix the label.

815
00:51:14,450 --> 00:51:16,827
I sew the pocket.

816
00:51:17,035 --> 00:51:20,372
The Free Zones came to
Jamaica in the 80s.

817
00:51:20,373 --> 00:51:24,751
The American government decided
initially install it in the Caribbean,

818
00:51:24,752 --> 00:51:29,965
with the intention of creating diverse
jobs at the lowest levels.

819
00:51:30,465 --> 00:51:33,719
Current money The Caribbean Development Bank
It's the World Bank's money

820
00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:36,431
It is money intended
- construction of actuarial structures.

821
00:51:40,684 --> 00:51:44,146
The government is paying the debts
acquired with the Free Zones...

822
00:51:44,354 --> 00:51:46,023
and this will take time.

823
00:51:52,903 --> 00:51:55,199
All raw materials destined
to the production process...

824
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:57,701
comes in containers
of the United States.

825
00:51:58,118 --> 00:52:01,663
These materials are cut
in the United States,

826
00:52:01,664 --> 00:52:04,250
are made there and then are
placed in bags.

827
00:52:04,374 --> 00:52:08,128
This process also
involves the import of...

828
00:52:08,129 --> 00:52:11,882
elastics, threads () and all
the other components.

829
00:52:12,508 --> 00:52:16,678
This product is 100% made
with American materials,

830
00:52:16,679 --> 00:52:18,972
and we just
we set up in Jamaica.

831
00:52:19,389 --> 00:52:24,394
Yarns and materials are brought in from outside,
they don't buy from Jamaica.

832
00:52:26,897 --> 00:52:29,817
They say they don't want to spend
their money in Jamaica.

833
00:52:30,028 --> 00:52:36,281
() What we really do is
the side, and the shoulder part.

834
00:52:37,115 --> 00:52:40,452
We must make 10 bags a day.

835
00:52:40,577 --> 00:52:43,997
I did Tommy Hilfiger.
I was in that section.

836
00:52:43,998 --> 00:52:47,334
I sew for Tommy Hilfiger,
brooks brothers...

837
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:53,799
We work for Tommy,
Brooks Brothers,

838
00:52:55,676 --> 00:53:00,681
Richards and Marc Alexander Sports.

839
00:53:00,682 --> 00:53:03,392
I don't know how much they really
they win with our shirts...

840
00:53:03,393 --> 00:53:06,520
but hear that they
they earn a good amount.

841
00:53:06,521 --> 00:53:08,397
When I was employed
for the first time,

842
00:53:08,398 --> 00:53:12,151
I heard they would pay us in dollars
Americans but the government said no,

843
00:53:12,152 --> 00:53:15,487
that we should be paid
with Jamaican dollars...

844
00:53:16,321 --> 00:53:20,783
because the country needed the
US dollars.

845
00:53:21,118 --> 00:53:25,080
They were able to come here and stay for a few
years without paying any taxes.

846
00:53:25,706 --> 00:53:30,502
The Free Zone works
theoretically like...

847
00:53:30,502 --> 00:53:32,796
if it weren't even
part of Jamaica.

848
00:53:33,422 --> 00:53:35,716
It is a separate entity.

849
00:53:36,758 --> 00:53:39,469
The products arrive
in containers,

850
00:53:39,470 --> 00:53:44,057
pass through monitored gates
and after leaving the Free Zone...

851
00:53:44,058 --> 00:53:50,314
return to the ships. Never having
effectively touched the Jamaican coast.

852
00:53:51,773 --> 00:53:55,944
These factories cannot be
locally controlled...

853
00:53:55,945 --> 00:54:00,741
to

854
00:54:02,616 --> 00:54:08,040
The Free Zone is an opportunity given
to people to operate without control...

855
00:54:08,041 --> 00:54:13,253
without laws that generally regulate
the operations of a country.

856
00:54:14,922 --> 00:54:17,757
If you are making collars,
you have to sew 600 collars.

857
00:54:17,757 --> 00:54:21,803
And if you don't sew 600 collars...
you know they won't pay you.

858
00:54:22,221 --> 00:54:25,140
They put a lot of pressure on us.

859
00:54:25,557 --> 00:54:27,643
We have to work each
faster and faster.

860
00:54:28,809 --> 00:54:32,022
The best salary we earn
in Jamaica after working...

861
00:54:32,023 --> 00:54:37,444
five days a week is
1200 Jamaican dollars.

862
00:54:38,070 --> 00:54:41,406
What equals 30
American dollars.

863
00:54:46,411 --> 00:54:50,749
The salary I receive is 1005
dollars every 2 weeks,

864
00:54:50,749 --> 00:54:55,587
and in the United States this
It costs about 30 dollars.

865
00:54:56,004 --> 00:54:58,924
I'm sure that in no
place in the United States there is...

866
00:54:58,924 --> 00:55:03,095
people who earn less than the
Basic salary of 30 dollars per week.

867
00:55:08,308 --> 00:55:11,019
This here is my receipt
of the second week.

868
00:55:11,854 --> 00:55:21,446
And they deducted the education fee,
NIS, NHT and social security tax.

869
00:55:22,489 --> 00:55:27,244
I used to pay the NIS, the
education fee and things like that,

870
00:55:27,245 --> 00:55:29,787
but I realized that actually
We weren't paying anything,

871
00:55:29,787 --> 00:55:32,040
they were just
taking our money.

872
00:55:32,041 --> 00:55:36,670
When I went to check, I saw that I didn't
had paid no taxes...

873
00:55:36,671 --> 00:55:38,547
but they had
been charged.

874
00:55:38,548 --> 00:55:42,509
We must pay 75 dollars for the
our lunch is 25 for the drink.

875
00:55:42,510 --> 00:55:43,969
to

876
00:55:44,595 --> 00:55:47,097
The persistent complaints about
working conditions...

877
00:55:47,098 --> 00:55:50,434
in the Kingston Free Zone took our
team this morning investigating...

878
00:55:50,434 --> 00:55:52,519
a complaint about
from one of the wool factories.

879
00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:55,022
Fine Line Workers
went on strike on Monday,

880
00:55:55,023 --> 00:55:57,316
accusing the government of
be co-conspirators...

881
00:55:57,524 --> 00:56:00,444
in the export of labor in
Free Zone for foreign companies.

882
00:56:00,859 --> 00:56:03,572
They say this problem started
in January last year...

883
00:56:03,573 --> 00:56:05,616
when they started to be late
payment of salaries...

884
00:56:05,657 --> 00:56:08,785
in two or three weeks
and sometimes even more.

885
00:56:08,785 --> 00:56:10,245
How can this happen?
No government...

886
00:56:10,246 --> 00:56:11,705
We don't have
no government.

887
00:56:11,706 --> 00:56:13,582
We don't have anyone
to assist us.

888
00:56:13,583 --> 00:56:15,459
Fine Line belongs to
a bigger company:

889
00:56:15,501 --> 00:56:19,546
Schweitzer Associates, whose headquarters
is located in Alexandria, Virginia, USA.

890
00:56:20,297 --> 00:56:22,549
They make sure that the
workers will not organize.

891
00:56:22,550 --> 00:56:24,218
Do not allow entry
of unions.

892
00:56:24,843 --> 00:56:27,262
You can't talk
with anyone. You can't eat.

893
00:56:27,638 --> 00:56:30,349
I can barely take a shower because
They are always watching.

894
00:56:31,389 --> 00:56:32,559
Depressing.

895
00:56:33,894 --> 00:56:36,104
It's as if it were
working as a slave.

896
00:56:36,731 --> 00:56:39,233
Many people are fired...

897
00:56:41,026 --> 00:56:45,280
and they don't hire anyone else
to work the following year.

898
00:56:46,031 --> 00:56:50,494
And then they bring Chinese
to fill our positions.

899
00:56:50,619 --> 00:56:52,788
And treat them better
what an agent.

900
00:56:52,789 --> 00:56:56,542
More problems occurred
in the textile sector tonight.

901
00:56:56,750 --> 00:57:00,045
The production of a
of factories was interrupted.

902
00:57:00,046 --> 00:57:01,755
Thursday, when
our team arrived...

903
00:57:01,797 --> 00:57:05,300
It felt like a time bomb
waiting for the time to explode.

904
00:57:05,842 --> 00:57:10,305
The East Ocean Company brought
many Asian workers.

905
00:57:10,306 --> 00:57:13,392
I believe about 800 people.

906
00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:16,770
These workers are
brought in hundreds.

907
00:57:17,023 --> 00:57:20,941
And they live in what we call
of camps.

908
00:57:20,942 --> 00:57:23,443
They are all housed in
the same place.

909
00:57:23,444 --> 00:57:25,737
We were not allowed to enter
in one of the main factories.

910
00:57:25,780 --> 00:57:28,031
However our camera
managed to get in.

911
00:57:28,032 --> 00:57:29,908
Jamaican workers
They say women...

912
00:57:29,950 --> 00:57:31,994
who were employed
at the beginning of this month...

913
00:57:31,995 --> 00:57:35,332
they don't work overtime
and earn more.

914
00:57:35,539 --> 00:57:39,084
They are not opposed to anything because they are
being paid in US dollars.

915
00:57:39,710 --> 00:57:42,629
While Jamaican women
are paid in local currency.

916
00:57:42,672 --> 00:57:45,132
Can the government support this
influx of foreign labor...

917
00:57:45,133 --> 00:57:49,927
since the creation of the Free Zone was
to solve this same type of problem?

918
00:57:50,262 --> 00:57:52,932
Obviously we were trying
provide jobs for Jamaicans...

919
00:57:52,975 --> 00:57:54,308
and not for Asians.

920
00:57:55,309 --> 00:57:57,644
They claim they couldn't
find in Jamaica...

921
00:57:57,645 --> 00:58:00,564
people with the qualification
that they needed.

922
00:58:02,316 --> 00:58:04,735
If the government said
for them to pay more,

923
00:58:04,778 --> 00:58:07,029
probably they
they would close the factories...

924
00:58:07,030 --> 00:58:09,948
and will go to Mexico because
most of them go there,

925
00:58:09,949 --> 00:58:12,451
since the workforce
It's cheaper.

926
00:58:12,452 --> 00:58:15,496
You know, these companies are
very aggressive to generate profit.

927
00:58:15,413 --> 00:58:18,499
to

928
00:58:18,665 --> 00:58:22,044
so they basically, you know,
They are in a position...

929
00:58:22,045 --> 00:58:26,423
in which production must be changed
to areas that are cheaper for them.

930
00:58:26,550 --> 00:58:28,800
I worked there for 15 years.

931
00:58:29,927 --> 00:58:32,054
And they fired me because
low income.

932
00:58:32,471 --> 00:58:34,139
They said I didn't
I was producing enough.

933
00:58:34,430 --> 00:58:37,476
They wanted me to produce a certain
amount that I was not capable of.

934
00:58:37,519 --> 00:58:40,853
Free Trade Agreements
and NAFTA had, in principle,

935
00:58:40,895 --> 00:58:44,149
a huge impact
negative in Jamaica.

936
00:58:46,860 --> 00:58:48,947
We lost about
18 thousand jobs.

937
00:58:49,780 --> 00:58:53,534
It's getting worse. More factories
are being closed.

938
00:58:55,410 --> 00:58:59,998
The inferior workers are
moving to poorer areas.

939
00:59:00,624 --> 00:59:03,209
This is happening at
all over the world, especially...

940
00:59:03,252 --> 00:59:04,795
due to the new regime.

941
00:59:04,796 --> 00:59:10,008
Marcus Mosiah Garvey's Factory
fired 200 workers this Tuesday.

942
00:59:10,009 --> 00:59:12,928
Two weeks ago the workers
receive a letter informing...

943
00:59:12,929 --> 00:59:16,473
that the factory would be closed
temporarily for renovation.

944
00:59:16,474 --> 00:59:19,184
There are allegations that
Asian managers...

945
00:59:19,185 --> 00:59:21,895
dismantled and sold
the factory equipment...

946
00:59:21,896 --> 00:59:25,232
and packed their bags for
a hasty departure.

947
00:59:25,649 --> 00:59:27,943
The factory will not be
reopen tomorrow...

948
00:59:27,944 --> 00:59:30,863
and most workers
have not yet been paid.

949
00:59:33,365 --> 00:59:38,579
The government built the factories with
loans from the IMF and the World Bank,

950
00:59:38,993 --> 00:59:40,873
and continues to pay to this day.

951
00:59:42,541 --> 00:59:46,712
The government spends 52 cents a
every dollar you earn...

952
00:59:46,713 --> 00:59:48,674
with debt interest rates.

953
00:59:48,717 --> 00:59:50,883
It's 48 cents to spend.

954
00:59:50,926 --> 00:59:52,761
EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH OF MARCH
TRACY BROWN

955
00:59:52,968 --> 00:59:55,053
The most interesting thing is that...

956
00:59:55,095 --> 00:59:58,390
even with most
loans being paid off now...

957
00:59:58,391 --> 01:00:01,727
with high interest rates
Because of the exchange rate,

958
01:00:01,728 --> 01:00:04,104
more factories are
closing the doors...

959
01:00:04,148 --> 01:00:06,106
and more people are
unemployed.

960
01:00:06,107 --> 01:00:09,860
Therefore I see no purpose since
the main objective did not work.

961
01:00:09,861 --> 01:00:13,197
They say the Free Zone is for
the poor but that's not what I see.

962
01:00:13,405 --> 01:00:15,699
I bet they're closing
everything in the Free Zone...

963
01:00:15,700 --> 01:00:19,161
Why did we start organizing
something for ourselves.

964
01:00:19,203 --> 01:00:21,747
I will sell them all
the products here.

965
01:00:21,748 --> 01:00:24,041
My son said
that would be much better.

966
01:00:24,249 --> 01:00:28,420
More than 400 employees joined
for unemployment statistics...

967
01:00:28,421 --> 01:00:31,131
since Hanes Jamaica Ltda.
closes its doors today...

968
01:00:31,132 --> 01:00:35,093
After weeks of speculation,
it was officially announced that yes,

969
01:00:35,094 --> 01:00:36,970
that she was
closing the factory.

970
01:00:37,179 --> 01:00:38,764
A real breakthrough...

971
01:00:38,765 --> 01:00:42,226
in the fight against poverty
can only be achieved...

972
01:00:42,227 --> 01:00:46,563
if these countries build the
foundations for growth...

973
01:00:46,564 --> 01:00:50,734
and gain access to investments
of international markets.

974
01:00:51,151 --> 01:00:56,573
But private capital will not come,
to help you with the infrastructure,

975
01:00:57,199 --> 01:01:01,578
to help you develop a
adequate education system,

976
01:01:01,579 --> 01:01:04,289
to help you develop a
good health system.

977
01:01:04,915 --> 01:01:09,711
Private capital will not take care
to develop their agriculture...

978
01:01:09,754 --> 01:01:13,048
so that you produce enough
to self-sustain.

979
01:01:13,049 --> 01:01:17,804
It is intelligible that they are only interested
generating short-term profits.

980
01:01:17,847 --> 01:01:20,597
What else do they
would you be interested?

981
01:01:30,773 --> 01:01:33,861
The question is, who
Do you hold power in the IMF?

982
01:01:34,777 --> 01:01:38,073
First, the number of votes
of each country is proportional...

983
01:01:38,115 --> 01:01:40,367
It's your importance
in the world economy.

984
01:01:40,409 --> 01:01:45,789
Therefore, the US holds approximately
17.5% of the number of votes...

985
01:01:45,831 --> 01:01:48,500
since it is the biggest
world economy.

986
01:01:48,501 --> 01:01:51,837
Japan has the second largest
number. And Germany is third.

987
01:01:52,045 --> 01:01:56,508
In this logic, the USA is, by far,
the greatest single voice.

988
01:01:56,551 --> 01:02:00,179
To change something at the IMF
80% of the votes are required.

989
01:02:00,180 --> 01:02:04,141
I believe that the US and the countries
from Western Europe together...

990
01:02:04,183 --> 01:02:06,226
holds more than 80% of the
number of votes,

991
01:02:06,227 --> 01:02:09,563
which means there is no way
change anything without their approval.

992
01:02:10,606 --> 01:02:12,816
<i>Even with the plan
their economic... </i>

993
01:02:13,525 --> 01:02:15,611
<i>they couldn't
find a solution.</i>

994
01:02:16,527 --> 01:02:18,530
<i>They ask for money
borrowed...</i>

995
01:02:18,531 --> 01:02:20,824
<i>but the World Bank
He is not our friend.</i>

996
01:02:26,662 --> 01:02:29,791
<i>It will be life and debt
everything we have?</i>

997
01:02:29,792 --> 01:02:32,711
<i>Life and doubt because
freedom not yet.</i>

998
01:02:38,550 --> 01:02:41,470
<i>Farmers are doing badly.
Foreign food everywhere.</i>

999
01:02:41,471 --> 01:02:44,389
<i>American farmers
raise your hand,</i>

1000
01:02:44,390 --> 01:02:47,518
<i>while our farmers
disappear one by one.</i>

1001
01:02:47,519 --> 01:02:50,020
<i>Banks fail... salaries are
reduced and the news is brief.</i>

1002
01:02:50,021 --> 01:02:52,731
<i>The boy hides
the stock.</i>

1003
01:02:53,148 --> 01:02:54,608
<i>No money and
no job.</i>

1004
01:02:55,025 --> 01:02:56,611
<i>They ask for money
borrowed...</i>

1005
01:02:56,696 --> 01:02:58,695
<i>but capitalism
He is not our friend.</i>

1006
01:03:01,073 --> 01:03:03,326
Watch all countries
who receive help from the IMF...

1007
01:03:03,369 --> 01:03:06,703
and tell me which one you have
a good network of hospitals.

1008
01:03:06,704 --> 01:03:08,997
Which one has a good
education system?

1009
01:03:08,998 --> 01:03:10,457
Which one has
something?

1010
01:03:10,666 --> 01:03:15,254
They're all stuck in
a colonial financial crisis.

1011
01:03:15,379 --> 01:03:16,713
<i>Life and doubt.</i>

1012
01:03:24,429 --> 01:03:25,848
JERRY RAWLINGS
FIRST PRESIDENT OF GHANA

1013
01:03:25,889 --> 01:03:29,434
We had no one to turn to,
but today there is the IMF and the World Bank.

1014
01:03:29,852 --> 01:03:33,397
They judged it to be quite feasible
and they agreed to watch us.

1015
01:03:33,438 --> 01:03:37,818
I believe that when dealing with people
like the IMF and the World Bank...

1016
01:03:37,861 --> 01:03:40,946
It is important that you do
your homework so well...

1017
01:03:40,989 --> 01:03:45,284
so they don't complain
and tell them what you have to do.

1018
01:03:45,701 --> 01:03:50,080
They were not created by a
international organization...

1019
01:03:50,123 --> 01:03:52,791
that included the interests
of developing countries.

1020
01:03:52,916 --> 01:03:59,047
Haiti is a country in which people live with
less than 200 dollars per capita.

1021
01:03:59,298 --> 01:04:03,844
This means that

1022
01:04:03,845 --> 01:04:07,806
without thinking about the situation
economic of the people...

1023
01:04:08,098 --> 01:04:11,977
you will collect money only
to pay the interest on the debt...

1024
01:04:11,978 --> 01:04:14,688
and not invest
in the population.

1025
01:04:15,105 --> 01:04:18,568
<i>No more blind faith, what we need
 � of food on our plate.</i>

1026
01:04:18,691 --> 01:04:20,527
<i>See how much
we work hard,</i>

1027
01:04:20,611 --> 01:04:22,196
<i>a lot of foreign debt.</i>

1028
01:04:22,407 --> 01:04:24,698
Those responsible for
these institutions...

1029
01:04:24,699 --> 01:04:27,409
may have good will,
good intentions...

1030
01:04:27,464 --> 01:04:33,248
but the results do not
are consistent.

1031
01:04:33,289 --> 01:04:38,253
In fact, why is there
1.3 billion people in the world...

1032
01:04:38,254 --> 01:04:41,590
living with less than
1 dollar a day?

1033
01:04:42,132 --> 01:04:44,510
Those who control
business...

1034
01:04:44,511 --> 01:04:47,846
don't worry
if you are self-sustainable.

1035
01:04:48,680 --> 01:04:52,017
Are doing their job,
your obligation.

1036
01:04:52,643 --> 01:04:58,273
The pressure they put forces you
depending on foreign capital.

1037
01:05:00,150 --> 01:05:03,487
It is not simply that capital is
coming in but what kind of capital...

1038
01:05:04,321 --> 01:05:07,658
and if capital helps you
to become self-sustainable.

1039
01:05:09,787 --> 01:05:14,331
McDonald's could use so many
products that grow in Jamaica...

1040
01:05:14,332 --> 01:05:19,127
like Irish potatoes,
condiment and vegetables.

1041
01:05:19,753 --> 01:05:22,256
In other words, what
they make everything matter.

1042
01:05:22,257 --> 01:05:26,218
And so they ruin the
small governments.

1043
01:05:26,219 --> 01:05:28,512
Come as if you were
building something good,

1044
01:05:28,513 --> 01:05:30,597
but they destroy more
of what they build.

1045
01:05:34,143 --> 01:05:37,896
This case is very important
because it was the first in Jamaica...

1046
01:05:38,313 --> 01:05:43,527
dealing with the effects of
globalization in our commerce.

1047
01:05:43,738 --> 01:05:46,446
American McDonald's does not
admitted that Jamaican company...

1048
01:05:46,447 --> 01:05:49,366
if it passed as their business.

1049
01:05:49,367 --> 01:05:52,286
Using the name McDonald's would
make people think...

1050
01:05:52,287 --> 01:05:54,788
that they were one
subsidiary of the American company.

1051
01:05:54,913 --> 01:05:57,541
And the Jamaican company insisted
that they got here first,

1052
01:05:57,542 --> 01:06:00,002
who had already been here for 20 years
using this name.

1053
01:06:00,003 --> 01:06:02,504
The American company
claimed that...

1054
01:06:02,921 --> 01:06:05,841
if she opened a branch here
new jobs would be created,

1055
01:06:05,842 --> 01:06:11,054
that she would buy raw materials
from local producers...

1056
01:06:11,055 --> 01:06:12,931
and that would help
the local economy.

1057
01:06:13,140 --> 01:06:16,685
They placed great emphasis
in the size of your advertising.

1058
01:06:16,686 --> 01:06:19,813
They spend billions of dollars
around the world to promote the name.

1059
01:06:20,230 --> 01:06:20,814
to

1060
01:06:35,662 --> 01:06:38,582
The simplest aspect is
that Jamaican activity...

1061
01:06:38,583 --> 01:06:40,667
was such that it was not
confused with none.

1062
01:06:41,084 --> 01:06:46,715
On today's menu we have goat,
roast beef, fish and potatoes...

1063
01:06:46,924 --> 01:06:50,886
They mostly sell
Jamaican traditional food.

1064
01:06:51,303 --> 01:06:54,223
The judge refused to close
the Jamaican company.

1065
01:06:54,224 --> 01:06:55,891
And this increased the pressure...

1066
01:06:55,892 --> 01:06:58,811
because the Chamber of Commerce
and other similar entities...

1067
01:06:58,852 --> 01:07:01,730
were calling us to say
that we were making business difficult...

1068
01:07:01,772 --> 01:07:03,816
and impeding the development of the economy.

1069
01:07:03,857 --> 01:07:06,944
The question "what is fair
for the citizens of your country?",

1070
01:07:06,945 --> 01:07:12,157
if they work, if they are
creating, producing...

1071
01:07:12,158 --> 01:07:17,371
Why wouldn't they have the right to buy
the same things as the rest of the world?

1072
01:07:17,372 --> 01:07:20,916
There's Burger King,
Kentucky Fried and pizza,

1073
01:07:22,376 --> 01:07:25,921
all these consumer things
mass of American society...

1074
01:07:26,338 --> 01:07:31,635
in a society in which there is no
productive structure to maintain this.

1075
01:07:32,177 --> 01:07:35,931
McDonald's started talking
with us for 3 years.

1076
01:07:35,932 --> 01:07:39,893
This installation, which cost us
40 million to be modernized,

1077
01:07:39,894 --> 01:07:45,149
was intended to facilitate
and streamline McDonald's,

1078
01:07:45,190 --> 01:07:48,443
Burger King, increase
our production...

1079
01:07:48,904 --> 01:07:52,406
and make burgers so they
no longer had to matter.

1080
01:07:52,407 --> 01:07:56,410
McDonald's asked us
that supplied them with a HAACP plan.

1081
01:07:56,411 --> 01:07:57,619
And that's what we did.

1082
01:07:57,827 --> 01:08:02,207
We made them burgers,
which was evaluated and approved.

1083
01:08:02,208 --> 01:08:04,501
In fact, the taste
it was much better...

1084
01:08:04,502 --> 01:08:07,004
than those who
they had imported.

1085
01:08:07,005 --> 01:08:10,966
However, we are not yet
able to provide them.

1086
01:08:12,176 --> 01:08:17,848
Cattle ranchers from various places who have suffered
with cheaper meat imports...

1087
01:08:17,849 --> 01:08:22,019
today expressed their frustration
with fast-food giant McDonald's.

1088
01:08:22,186 --> 01:08:26,815
I've been a rancher since 1977...

1089
01:08:27,483 --> 01:08:30,777
and I never had any problems
in selling cows,

1090
01:08:30,778 --> 01:08:32,654
until last year.

1091
01:08:32,655 --> 01:08:35,574
All these animals should be
sold in December,

1092
01:08:35,616 --> 01:08:37,659
we just don't
we did it.

1093
01:08:38,494 --> 01:08:42,247
In the US, you won't find
cows grazing with these.

1094
01:08:42,290 --> 01:08:46,627
They inject an anabolic steroid
known as stilbestrol.

1095
01:08:46,628 --> 01:08:49,463
We cannot use stilbestrol
here because they cannot enter the country,

1096
01:08:49,505 --> 01:08:51,215
but it is used in
farms abroad.

1097
01:08:52,256 --> 01:08:55,802
Therefore, when people
consume imported meat...

1098
01:08:55,803 --> 01:08:59,139
they are exposing themselves to
cancer-causing agents.

1099
01:09:01,975 --> 01:09:04,102
There is a case where...

1100
01:09:04,145 --> 01:09:07,481
a local merchant thought
that would be a good business...

1101
01:09:07,482 --> 01:09:10,192
if he could buy
cheaper chicken.

1102
01:09:10,651 --> 01:09:14,862
Then he had the idea
to import some chickens.

1103
01:09:14,989 --> 01:09:21,662
These chickens, which were examined,
they were around 28 years old.

1104
01:09:21,705 --> 01:09:26,583
That's when we determined that
were not for human consumption.

1105
01:09:27,584 --> 01:09:31,755
He tried to convince us that these
chickens came here accidentally,

1106
01:09:31,798 --> 01:09:34,925
that in reality the
destination was Haiti...

1107
01:09:35,217 --> 01:09:40,472
and that we should return to him
so he could send it to Haiti.

1108
01:09:46,478 --> 01:09:48,147
I was in the USA...

1109
01:09:48,148 --> 01:09:52,442
and I never saw any merchant
selling the back of the chicken.

1110
01:09:52,943 --> 01:09:55,863
But I've seen them
sending to Jamaica.

1111
01:09:56,280 --> 01:09:58,365
It's like slavery, remember?

1112
01:09:58,366 --> 01:10:07,332
In it you chose the best parts
and the slaves kept the remains.

1113
01:10:07,375 --> 01:10:12,628
The back, the neck,
the tail and the foot...

1114
01:10:12,671 --> 01:10:16,508
It's as if they were going to a landfill,
Third World countries.

1115
01:10:28,812 --> 01:10:32,024
The most interesting thing about
American poultry market...

1116
01:10:32,067 --> 01:10:35,277
has been the growth
of the passion for white meat.

1117
01:10:36,111 --> 01:10:39,865
Evidently when removing the chicken breast
What about dark meat:

1118
01:10:39,866 --> 01:10:42,159
the paw, the thigh,
the neck and back.

1119
01:10:42,160 --> 01:10:47,164
And the result of this is an increase
in the import of dark meat from the USA.

1120
01:10:47,663 --> 01:10:50,709
And this has really threatened
our market at this point.

1121
01:10:50,710 --> 01:10:53,837
The cost of producing
454g chicken breast...

1122
01:10:53,838 --> 01:10:55,923
in the USA it is about 50 cents,

1123
01:10:56,757 --> 01:11:00,093
however it was being sold
 � Jamaica for less than 20 cents.

1124
01:11:00,511 --> 01:11:04,681
This had a traumatic effect
in the local industry...

1125
01:11:04,724 --> 01:11:06,433
and our ability to compete.

1126
01:11:06,602 --> 01:11:10,938
There is no doubt that the
markets in our region are targets...

1127
01:11:10,981 --> 01:11:14,691
of American industry in terms
penetration and supply...

1128
01:11:14,733 --> 01:11:19,279
to these markets, at the expense of
to the detriment of local industries...

1129
01:11:19,280 --> 01:11:21,031
and possible losses
of jobs.

1130
01:11:21,032 --> 01:11:23,659
The labor dispute involving
administrators and workers...

1131
01:11:23,700 --> 01:11:29,289
that surrounded the Spring Village facility
in St. Catherine got complicated today.

1132
01:11:29,498 --> 01:11:32,291
More than 200 poultry farmers
who have suffered losses...

1133
01:11:32,334 --> 01:11:34,294
as long as the installation
It was closed, they protested...

1134
01:11:34,336 --> 01:11:36,797
to get attention
to their situation.

1135
01:11:37,005 --> 01:11:39,508
Formal workers who
demonstrated outside the facility...

1136
01:11:39,509 --> 01:11:42,845
clashed with the police
which resulted in a civil conflict,

1137
01:11:42,846 --> 01:11:48,183
leaving several people injured
and a burned factory vehicle.

1138
01:11:48,184 --> 01:11:52,646
Mr. Wildish inquired that several
initiatives were taken, without success,

1139
01:11:52,647 --> 01:11:55,149
to achieve competitiveness
international.

1140
01:11:55,354 --> 01:11:58,986
We were told to find areas
in which we could compete.

1141
01:11:59,111 --> 01:12:03,990
and we asked: "what is the market
suitable that we should compete?

1142
01:12:04,033 --> 01:12:05,576
After that they tell us:

1143
01:12:05,577 --> 01:12:08,495
"Well, cucumbers and spices and things like that
you must be able...

1144
01:12:08,537 --> 01:12:11,206
to produce efficiently and
you still have the tourism."

1145
01:12:11,291 --> 01:12:15,252
Karen, you'll take white.
Glen, you'll take the green crab.

1146
01:12:15,295 --> 01:12:17,839
And Robin, you'll take yellow.

1147
01:12:17,882 --> 01:12:20,171
When we count to three
we will release the crabs...

1148
01:12:20,214 --> 01:12:21,842
and remember: without
sudden movements.

1149
01:12:21,843 --> 01:12:23,302
One, two and three.

1150
01:12:23,927 --> 01:12:24,303
Very good

1151
01:12:25,179 --> 01:12:28,098
They were all released, but
red is leading,

1152
01:12:28,265 --> 01:12:30,976
has already walked two squares
and there is no way to stop it.

1153
01:12:31,018 --> 01:12:32,853
In the middle, yellow
still hasn't moved.

1154
01:12:32,896 --> 01:12:34,354
We don't know what's
happening to him.

1155
01:12:34,355 --> 01:12:36,857
White is now
taking the lead.

1156
01:12:37,068 --> 01:12:39,776
The green still...

1157
01:12:39,818 --> 01:12:42,070
Green is still in the competition.

1158
01:12:42,071 --> 01:12:43,530
Patrícia is guiding
your crab.

1159
01:12:43,573 --> 01:12:46,116
The white crab was
the winner of this race.

1160
01:12:46,117 --> 01:12:50,829
It's up to you to say who you
They think they have the best tan.

1161
01:12:50,871 --> 01:12:52,498
You're seeing Scott.

1162
01:12:52,539 --> 01:12:56,460
Tad, raise your arms and do a spin
so everyone can see your tan.

1163
01:12:57,876 --> 01:13:00,005
Nobody told me that I
I was going to compete with men.

1164
01:13:00,048 --> 01:13:01,256
Let it go, honey.

1165
01:13:04,801 --> 01:13:08,555
<i>Circumstances made
of me what I am.</i>

1166
01:13:08,766 --> 01:13:11,266
<i>Am I born violent?</i>

1167
01:13:12,309 --> 01:13:17,731
When I got here
we had around 200 guards.

1168
01:13:18,982 --> 01:13:24,196
Probably, today we have
between 1800 and 1900 guards,

1169
01:13:24,197 --> 01:13:30,661
we have 300 puppies and we have
branches throughout the island.

1170
01:13:30,662 --> 01:13:32,663
<i>It may sound strange and silly,</i>

1171
01:13:32,705 --> 01:13:33,997
<i>but things don't
are improving.</i>

1172
01:13:33,998 --> 01:13:37,334
<i>Every day another victim
to be buried.</i>

1173
01:13:37,543 --> 01:13:41,088
Is this a growing industry?
I would say yes.

1174
01:13:41,712 --> 01:13:46,301
With the high crime rate,
It is always necessary...

1175
01:13:46,302 --> 01:13:49,222
protect life and
property.

1176
01:13:49,429 --> 01:13:55,269
We work for the hotels,
to the houses. We provide private protection.

1177
01:13:55,312 --> 01:13:59,022
<i>Circumstances made
of me what I am.</i>

1178
01:13:59,065 --> 01:14:01,526
<i>Am I born violent?</i>

1179
01:14:04,653 --> 01:14:06,738
Violence causes many deaths.

1180
01:14:07,573 --> 01:14:12,369
If it weren't for violence, we wouldn't
there would be as many people dead as there are now.

1181
01:14:16,540 --> 01:14:21,545
I'm in the business
furniture for 30 years.

1182
01:14:22,588 --> 01:14:27,593
There are two that I started
building coffins.

1183
01:14:28,218 --> 01:14:30,721
The furniture does not have
I go out a lot,

1184
01:14:33,094 --> 01:14:34,641
but the coffins do.

1185
01:14:39,480 --> 01:14:43,650
<i>I pray that I never
the day comes...</i>

1186
01:14:43,651 --> 01:14:46,987
<i>where the sun will not appear.</i>

1187
01:14:47,821 --> 01:14:50,949
<i>I don't want to live in poverty...</i>

1188
01:14:52,201 --> 01:14:56,371
In the end, after fighting
and survive,

1189
01:14:56,413 --> 01:15:01,376
after much suffering you
thinks it will reach the other extreme.

1190
01:15:02,211 --> 01:15:05,882
But the resulting country is not
nothing of what could have been.

MEMO
JAMAICA: COUNTRY ASSESSMENT

1194
01:15:25,985 --> 01:15:30,364
These loans did not promote
growth nor reduced poverty.

1195
01:15:30,407 --> 01:15:35,994
Without a doubt, globalization has provided
great opportunities for growth,

1196
01:15:35,995 --> 01:15:39,331
investments, transfers
of knowledge and technologies.

1197
01:15:39,332 --> 01:15:43,710
The position in which Jamaica
It's interesting right now.

1198
01:15:43,711 --> 01:15:47,881
Incidentally, there is a program
of the IMF with Jamaica at this time.

1199
01:15:47,882 --> 01:15:49,300
We don't lend them money...

1200
01:15:49,342 --> 01:15:52,387
but we have what we call
monitoring program.

1201
01:15:52,430 --> 01:15:54,556
We do not have an agreement with the IMF.

1202
01:15:55,180 --> 01:15:59,143
Even so, we are doing
What IMF would want us to do...

1203
01:15:59,184 --> 01:16:01,019
if we had an agreement.

1204
01:16:01,020 --> 01:16:03,522
Therefore, the influence of the IMF
It's still very big here.

1205
01:16:03,523 --> 01:16:05,816
We don't receive money from the IMF but...

1206
01:16:05,817 --> 01:16:07,943
we still do what they do
would like us to do.

1207
01:16:16,451 --> 01:16:20,414
Violent protests due to rate increase
on fuel occur in Jamaica.

1208
01:16:20,457 --> 01:16:22,499
At least six deaths
were reported...

1209
01:16:22,542 --> 01:16:25,545
and pressures plague
that Caribbean island.

1210
01:16:26,461 --> 01:16:28,755
The situation worsened in
Last 24 hours...

1211
01:16:28,756 --> 01:16:31,258
when an 18 year old boy
was found dead at home.

1212
01:16:31,675 --> 01:16:35,180
The fuel rate is severe
in a country with many poor people.

1213
01:16:35,181 --> 01:16:38,557
The government's argument is that
the way to pay for bank failures,

1214
01:16:38,600 --> 01:16:41,894
but there is evidence that
are starting to give way.

1215
01:17:04,625 --> 01:17:10,881
<i>The lips of an honest man
teaches many people.</i>

1216

<i>But fools die for
desire knowledge.</i>

1217
01:17:24,853 --> 01:17:30,275
<i>The fortune of the rich
is in your cities.</i>

1218
01:17:30,318 --> 01:17:34,238
And to this day, the crisis in
United Nations, if you want to know,

1219
01:17:34,239 --> 01:17:38,200
It is continuous demand
of Third World countries...

1220
01:17:38,243 --> 01:17:41,954
by an expression in
IMF strategic policies...

1221
01:17:41,997 --> 01:17:44,456
so that they become aware
with our interests.

1222
01:17:44,457 --> 01:17:50,295
<i>The extermination of our
souls to vanity.</i>

1223
01:17:52,798 --> 01:17:59,054
<i>The extermination of the poor is
their indigence.</i>

1224
01:18:02,515 --> 01:18:10,941
<i>The fortune of poor men is
in a sacred place.</i>

1225

<i>Why do they fight
themselves?</i>

1226
01:18:31,795 --> 01:18:36,383
<i>Why do they kill their brothers?</i>

<i></i>

1228
01:18:46,853 --> 01:18:50,564
It was a terrible experience,
There's no way to imagine.

1229
01:18:50,607 --> 01:18:55,777
It's as if you were witnessing a great
contradiction every day of your life.

1230
01:19:00,155 --> 01:19:04,119
So you will think that
eventually we had to go to them

1231
01:19:04,162 --> 01:19:06,830
and that we eventually had
to sign an agreement with them.

1232
01:19:06,873 --> 01:19:12,669
This really was the most
traumatizing part of my public life.

1233
01:19:17,671 --> 01:19:20,385
US EMBASSY

1234
01:19:24,139 --> 01:19:28,101
Jamaica was discovered by
Christopher Columbus in 1493.

1235
01:19:28,936 --> 01:19:32,689
Shortly afterwards, I was
full of rubbish from Europe.()

1236
01:19:32,898 --> 01:19:37,069
We use and enslave nothing more than
noble and praiseworthy men of Jamaica...

1237
01:19:37,070 --> 01:19:40,197
to satisfy the desire
of wealth and power.

1238
01:19:41,657 --> 01:19:43,534
Over time, you
went away...

1239
01:19:44,159 --> 01:19:45,828
in a certain way.

1240
01:19:46,245 --> 01:19:48,330
Over time, slaves
became free...

1241
01:19:48,830 --> 01:19:50,207
in a certain way.

1242
01:19:52,084 --> 01:19:54,586
Of course, the whole thing is:

1243
01:19:55,629 --> 01:19:57,923
When you no longer
It's more sir,

1244
01:19:58,549 --> 01:20:02,469
stop being human junk and
becomes just a human being...

1245
01:20:02,470 --> 01:20:04,596
and everything it brings with you.

1246
01:20:05,222 --> 01:20:07,307
The same happens with slaves.

1247
01:20:07,308 --> 01:20:11,270
When they are no longer
slaves, when they are free,

1248
01:20:11,271 --> 01:20:13,981
they cease to be noble and praiseworthy...

1249
01:20:14,606 --> 01:20:16,692
and become just
human beings.

1250
01:20:56,523 --> 01:20:59,151
We must put our faith
at the highest level,

1251
01:20:59,194 --> 01:21:03,782
that He will not desert us or
will allow us to destroy humanity...

1252
01:21:03,825 --> 01:21:06,325
that He created his own
image itself.

1253
01:21:06,742 --> 01:21:11,538
We must look deeply into
ourselves, to the depths of our souls.

1254
01:21:11,955 --> 01:21:14,875
We must become something
that we never were.

1255
01:21:14,876 --> 01:21:18,837
According to our education,
our experience...

1256
01:21:18,838 --> 01:21:22,591
our environment has
us prepared.

1257
01:21:26,136 --> 01:21:30,098
We know that our salvation
rests in the arms of the Almighty.

1258
01:22:14,099 --> 01:22:17,646
The reason we are
doing this plantation...
