Through the stories of recipients of small loans in locales from India to the Philippines to New York City, this documentary explores the issues of poverty and microcredit. The program shows how short-term loans of even a few dollars have resulted in dramatic improvements in the lives of families who otherwise would have no means of lifting themselves out of poverty. The film includes commentary by grassroots organizers, bankers, economists and scholars on the past, present and potential successes of microcredit programs.
