Debt(2004)

Who owes whom?

Debt is a documentary that follows an urgent investigation into who bears responsibility for the televised plea of an eight-year-old Argentine girl, Barbara Flores, as she cries out from hunger. The film traces a path across Buenos Aires, Washington, and the corridors of the IMF and World Bank, exposing how corruption and international bureaucratic indifference allow such suffering to persist. Through Davos and beyond, Debt reveals the systemic failures and negligence that leave vulnerable children in poverty while global institutions turn away. This is a stark examination of accountability in a world where the powerful evade responsibility for the desperate.
