DISRUPTION

DISRUPTION

NYC PREMIERE Recognizing the persistence of income inequality in South America, a group of activist economists join together to offer an alternative path to eliminating poverty: encouraging the poor to open savings accounts and thereby become active agents within the existing economic system. Fundación Capital partners with impoverished women to put their plan for financial inclusion into action, beginning pilot programs in Colombia, Peru and Brazil, and demonstrating the power of women to lead potentially continent-wide social change.

This film is co-presented by The Nation Cinema Tropical.

Filmmaker is expected to be in person for both screenings.
