The New Rulers of the World
In the documentary "The New Rulers of the World," John Pilger explores the impact of globalization, taking as his prime example Indonesia, a country that the World Bank described as a "model pupil" until its "globalized" economy collapsed in 1998. Under scrutiny are the increasingly powerful multinationals and the institutions that back them, notably the IMF and the World Bank.
The film is part of the 6th Annual Film and Speaker Series at the Institute for Policy Studies, presented by Foreign Policy in Focus. It will be shown on Wednesday, June 25, from noon to 2 p.m., at 733 15th Street NW, Suite 1020. For more information, contact Isis at 202/234-9382 or e-mail.
DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
