This is the global context that frames the questionable role of the International Monetary Fund in the perpetuation of poverty. George is reminded by his grandmother\\u2019s legacy that fighting for justice is always an option. \\n \\nWritten by George the Poet\\nProduced by Benbrick & George the Poet\\nWith an original score composed by Benbrick and recorded by the BBC Concert Orchestra.
