This documentary is only indirectly related to women and globalization, but it is a useful source for understanding the bigger picture of how our global economy works.
Inside Job
focuses on how the huge financial crisis of 2008 occurred, as a result of the neoliberal policies starting in the 1980s. While this film focuses mostly on the US, the impact of our financial crisis has been echoed or had reverberations all over the world because we do live in a global economy.
You can look for the full film online, but at minimum, watch the trailer and clips at this website (I think starting with Clip 5 is actually helpful!) and browse through the other sections:
The Events (a timeline of how the financial industry has worked and sometimes been regulated and then deregulated)
Crime and Punishment on Wall Street (to see what happened to the people who ruined the economy)
Jargon (explanation of major terms, which can be confusing)
