It starts with Mohammad Yunus and includes interviews with a number of social entrepreneurs and others in the field, including Sally Osberg of the Skoll Foundation, Bill Drayton of Ashoka, Jacqueline Novogratz of the Acumen Fund, John Elkington of Volans, and author David Bornstein.

    Wonderful film with a great range of clips, topics. Of course we hear some of the most prominent voices again, but that serves the purpose of legitimacy, then the rest of us can go on doing the work, and link up to the renowned actors.

    Brilliant.

    To me, …
    Brilliant.

    To me, “Social Entrepreneurs: Pioneering Social Change,” is an expression of what Desmond Tutu talks about through his description of Ubuntu, “We say a person is a person through other persons. You can’t be human in isolation. You are human only in relationships.”

    I feel richer as a human after seeing your film.
