Johannesburg: There was lots
of skepticism when I came to South Africa two years ago to show my film
IN DEBT WE TRUST. While my critique of consumer debt resonated, the
film's forecast of a financial crisis didn't. Their economy seemed
to be doing well and it was hard to tell a society that tends to look
inward that they would be affected by a financial crisis in America,
l0,000 miles away.
Most believed it would pass
them by.
