Glen, Gary & Ross
Glenngary Glenross is the classic ’90s film about the cut-throat world of real estate - and the moral turpitude of the denizens of that occupation. This parody from Oxfam draws a comparison between that and what is currently going on around the world with regards to land grabs.
Oxfam work internationally to try to improve living standards for human beings, as well as responding to disasters. They are largely funded by donations.
Oxfam is releasing an online parody of Alec Baldwin’s sales talk in the cult classic movie Glengarry Glen Ross.
Land grabs are having a devastating impact on the lives of poor and marginalised people. People lose their homes and the land which they rely on to grow enough food to eat and make a living. The scene depicted from Glengarry Glen Ross shows the moment when workers from a real estate firm meet a representative from head office sent to motivate them to sell and buy land regardless of the consequences, or lose their jobs.
