THE NEW RULERS OF THE WORLD

Director: Alan Lowery
2001. UK. 53 min. English

In order to examine the true effects of globalization, acclaimed British journalist John Pilger turns the spotlight on Indonesia, a country described by the World Bank as a model pupil until its globalized economy collapsed in 1998. The film examines the use of sweatshop factories by famous brand names, and asks who really benefits from the globalized economy. John Pilger goes behind the hype of the new global economy and looks at the new rulers of the world-the great multinationals and the governments and institutions that back them
