This special edition of FRONTLINE/WORLD offers a look at some
remarkable individuals finding ways to do good around the world and
also tells an uplifting story of the power of music to transform
lives. In Uganda, reporter Clark Boyd finds out how a San
Francisco-based non-profit called Kiva is revolutionizing the world
of micro-credit, and Macarena Hernandez travels to the Mexican
state of Chihuahua to meet a man who's rediscovered an ancient
method of pottery-making that's bringing fame and prosperity to the
rural village of Mata Ortiz. In Poland, the Chopin International
Piano Competition offers a window onto the world of young virtuosos
who come to learn that there's much more to music than just playing
the notes. Finally, in South Africa, a remarkable invention - a
schoolyard merry-go-round that drives a water pump - that's
offering a great leap forward for poor, rural communities in need
of clean water.
