Film Review:  Latin American Dreaming, A Neoliberal Vision for Retirement

by Kristi M. Wilson and Tomás Crowder-Taraborrelli
Anayansi Prado Paraíso for Sale. (United States/Panama, 2011)

Paraíso for Sale, directed by Anayansi Prado (also the director of Maid in America, 2005, and Children in No Man’s Land, 2008), treats the topic of Canadian and American retirees’ looking to stretch their dollars, buy second homes, and unwind in the sun by relocating (often permanently) to the Caribbean. It presents ample evidence of the looting of prime real estate in the Caribbean, where international corporations disembark with billions of dollars, pressure the locals to sell their land, and entice politicians not to enforce the law or, worse, to break it.
