Debt. It is a big word with many different meanings. Economic debt can be paid off with money. But how do you settle a moral debt? The same director who brought us Manufactured Landscapes presents a cinematic interpretation of Margaret Atwood’s bestseller Payback: Debt and the Shadow Side of Wealth, a visionary essay on (distribution of) wealth, justice and fairness. Using four real cases she explores the complex layers of the concept “debt”. A titillating film to make you think.
