Original Title : Le Banquier des Humbles
He created a bank to lend to the poor, especially to women who have nothing. To give them courage and guide them towards a better life, whether in the field of education, health or the environment. He has developed a new banking system, creating an extraordinary silent revolution that affects the destiny of millions of people. He criticises the approach of traditional banks and challenges the world: the poor are the product of the social system, never the product of the poor themselves. Through his thought and action, he transgressed economic and political prejudices and succeeded in imposing his certainty. This man of the 20th century is Professor Muhammad Yunus, a Bangladeshi economist, nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. It is through his portrait that this film proposes to tell the story of micro-credit and the Grameen Bank, a bank for the world’s poor.
