Am I the only one who hates clicking on a possibly interesting thread title only to find nothing other than a link in the OP? |

If I had the time to watch a documentary, I wouldn't be reading Dave's. |

A brief descrption describing what the video is about would have been helpful.
Maybe the OP was very busy. |

It is indeed a busy time of year what with finals for the kiddies around the corner, and whatnot.
Here's the description from below the video-
[ 'Global economy' is a modern Orwellian term. On the surface, it is instant financial trading, mobile phones, McDonald's, Starbucks, holidays booked on the net. Beneath this gloss, it is the globalisation of poverty, a world where most human beings never make a phone call and live on less than two dollars a day, where 6,000 children die every day from diarrhea because most have no access to clean water.] |

All that sucks, but it's not as if food and water scarcity are inventions of the modern market economy. |

The video was made in 2001. Things may have changed a little since then. They should make a new doco. |

Yes, we all know the global economy has improved heaps since then, which has led to multinational corporations treating their sweatshop labor to even better conditions |

Globalization is neither the cause of, nor the solution to, global poverty. |
