A Day to Remember
Format: VHS video
Running time: 102 minutes
Details: In 1998, 70,000 people came to Birmingham to welcome the G8, the leaders of the world's richest nations, and demand cancellation of the unpayable debt of the world's poorest nations. Five years on, Jubilee Debt Campaign organised a day to remember what had been achieved, and what remained to be done - to remember those who had died or were still suffering because of the chains of debt.
Here are the highlights of the day, with contributions from the Young People's Parliament, Stephen Rand, Ann Pettifor, Barry Coates, David Golding, Mulima Akapelwa, Michael Taylor, Daleep Mukarji, Andy Reed, Bob Geldof and Gordon Brown.

A Matter of Interest(*)
Format: VHS video

Note: Although produced in 1990, the facts have remained largely current, due to the focus being on factors behind the debt crisis and less on specific events in debt campaigning.
