About the film

“Payback” is an incisive and moving exploration of debt, not simply as an economic condition, but as a primal human dilemma. Jennifer Baichwal’s masterfully cinematic adaptation, based on Margaret Atwood’s prescient bestseller Payback: Debt and the Shadow Side of Wealth, frames four divergent stories - crime and punishment in Albania and Canada, the ecological deficit incurred in the Gulf disaster and alarming labour practices in Florida - against Atwood’s witty, eclectic analysis of human obligation. Supported by illuminating opinions from diverse range of thinkers.
