“PAYBACK explores the concept of debt through many of its juridical, environmental and moral ramifications. It’s ultimately haunting, beautiful and strangely optimistic.”
—Andrew O’Hehir, SALON

Margaret Atwood’s visionary work Payback: Debt and the Shadow Side of Wealth is the basis for this riveting and poetic documentary on “debt” in its various forms—societal, personal, environmental, spiritual, criminal, and of course, economic. Filmmaker Jennifer Baichwal (Manufactured Landscapes) strikingly interweaves these (sometimes surprising) debtor/creditor relationships: two families in a years-long Albanian blood feud; the BP oil spill vs. the Earth; mistreated Florida tomato farm workers and their bosses; imprisoned media mogul Conrad Black and the U.S. justice system. With stunning cinematography and insightful commentary from renowned thinkers Raj Patel, Louise Arbour and Atwood herself, Payback is a brilliant, game-changing rumination on the subject.

“A thoughtful and compelling meditation on global interconnectivity—
and an urgent call for global accountability.”
—Andrew Schenker, TIME OUT NEW YORK

“Jennifer Baichwal’s absorbing essay film about the multifaceted nature of debt – economic, political, environmental, psychic.”
—Stuart Klawans, THE NATION
