Review of Deuda

Deuda (2004)
9/10
The closest you can come to Argentina 2001 and its culprits
19 November 2005
Here is a movie which in its own rights tells you a story without an ending or an answer. This is where Lanata and Michael Moore part company. However, a lot of the documentary style of Deuda seems coincidental with Moore's. From the eyes of a starving school girl to the Director of the IMF, Anne Krueger, we see a collection of individuals trying to explain that that can not be explained. Where did 180 billion dollars go? Who is responsible? the borrower or the lender? both? It doesn't matter who is responsible. The stark reality is that millions of children, whether in Argentina or other countries of Latin America or Africa, or for realism, here in the USA, are starving and dying because we do not make those responsible accountable. A great little documentary, fun, fast moving and a kick-ass soundtrack, and for a change, an Argentine movie with clear sound. If you get a chance, don't miss this jewel.
