FYI: Cashdan is an excellent filmmaker. He worked for some time as an
economic advisor to Nelson Mandela. I have seen an early version of the
film and it is very thought provoking. Cashdan himself will be at the
screening and enjoys discussing his films with the audience.
AFRICA VS. GLOBALIZATION: FILMS BY BEN CASHDAN
Monday, February 25, 7:00 pm,
Science Center C, Harvard University.
Ben Cashdan returns to Boston with new footage from Porto Alegre and his
own clear analysis of the impact of globalization on South Africa.
Cashdan is an engaging speaker. He interacts with his films (and his
audience) as they screen. Cashdan documentaries are especially valuable
for the clear links that they make between local struggles over land,
housing and basic services and broader debates over economic policy and
globalization. The films muddy neat distinctions yet sound a clear call
for reflective debate and informed action.
