There will be a 15 minute introduction to the World Bank and IMF prior to
the viewing of the film. After the film there will be time for
discussion.
"Lifting The Veil " exposes the real role of the IMF and structural
adjustment programs in India. Through dozens of interviews with community
activists, street people, workers, politicians, and with illuminating
footage, videographer Bose shows how Indian industrialists and the
politicians they control are destroying whole communities and attacking
the labor movement for the supposed "development" of India.
