Dear Friends,
This is a crucial time for microfinance all over the world and the Grameen Bank and me in Bangladesh. You have heard or can search the Internet about our challenge to maintain the independence and autonomy of the Grameen Bank in Bangladesh.
Now, just in time, Gayle Ferraro is launching a deep and inspiring documentary on Grameen that focuses on the brave members of Grameen in America. It is followed by a panel discussion with me participating remotely from Bangladesh. The combination provides important information on Grameen for the much broader audiences that we must now reach for our work to continue successfully.
Gayle Ferraro's film, "To Catch A Dollar: Muhammad Yunus Banks on America", will be shown on Thursday, March 31 at 7:30 PM in more than 225 theaters around the US. Audiences will see the 60-minute film, and also the important panel discussion introduced by Robert De Niro, moderated by CNBC's Maria Bartiromo and featuring Suze Orman, president of Kiva Premal Shah, Vidar Jorgensen, representing Grameen, and me. You also hear calls to action from Hugh Jackman and Matt Damon. If this works well on March 31, the theatrical release will expand and continue. We only have one chance to make the launch a success. If March 31 does not work, we will have to try something else.
For this to be a success, we just have to find 227 people motivated to each take the lead in filling one theatre. People can bring 5 or 10 of their friends, or come alone. Do what is possible, but be sure to be there on March 31.
I hope that you and your friends can help make it work by actually being the host at a local theatre as outlined at http://www.tocatchadollar.com/host-a-screening/ and by getting additional hosts throughout the US.
Vidar has more detailed information in his letter below. He can be reached through patti.mcclary@grameenresearch.org<https://exchange.cua.edu/owa/UrlBlockedError.aspx>.
I hope you will provide me your candid feedback on the documentary and the panel discussion, and how we can bring our message and work to a broader audience. Please email me at Yunus@grameenresearch.org<https://exchange.cua.edu/owa/UrlBlockedError.aspx>.
Best,
Yunus
