Apologies for using the forum in this way but I could use some help
tracking down a copy of Susan George's (1989) video called "A Fate Worse
Than Debt". I already have her Penguin book but was hoping to use this
video to support my teaching of the Debt Crisis to a first year Geography
undergraduate group at the University of Southampton. I want to tease out
the social/human, economic and environmental suffering that have
accompanied Structural Adjustment etc..
I have traced a copy down to the BBC Education Video department but the
cost of over £400 is prohibitive. I have also investigated hiring a copy
from a number of video libraries, yet have been unable to track down a copy
(Oxfam, the Open University and Christian Aid for example, do not hold a
copy). The programme is c. 1.5 hrs long and was shown on TV in c. 1989 or
1990, presumably on a BBC channel.
If anyone has a copy lurking in amongst their own video resources and would
be willing to lend it to me for March 1st, I would be extremely grateful.
Alternatively, you may be able to suggest another source I could try or
recommend an alternative film that would highlight some of the issues I
wish to explore in the course.
If you can help, I can be reached at [log in to unmask] or on(023)
805 95496.
With thanks
