CIA Supported Rightward Shift of Labour Party
The British American Project received funds from the CIA to help what it saw as anti-Americanism within Europe. When you look at some of the people who were involved in the project on the list, it helps explain why they have appeared more like Tories than the Tories themselves. Also, what was Mandelson really up to when he was a member of socialist organizations in his youth?

The Price of Sugar is a powerful documentary about the plight of Haitians toiling on sugar plantations in the Dominican Republic. These workers cross the border from Haiti to labor in conditions that the film's central protagonist, Father Christopher Hartley, calls "quasi-slavery." They are housed in sugar company towns called bateyes. Stripped of identification papers, they cannot legally travel elsewhere in the country.
Hartley is a Spanish priest who came to the Dominican Republic in 1997 and wound up advocating for the cane cutters in his parish. The film gives him plenty of time to voice a thorough, articulate critique of the system which exploits the Haitians. Hartley names the superrich Vicini family as controlling the bateyes; the Vicinis have taken legal action against the film to prevent it from being screened.
