- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 21 Feb, 2026 at 07:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Microcredit: Promise or Trap?

Once hailed as a silver bullet against poverty, microfinance captured the world’s imagination. When Muhammad Yunus, the “banker to the poor,” won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006, the idea of helping people help themselves seemed unstoppable.

Holly Mosher’s BONSAI PEOPLE (2011, 69 min) offers a moving look at women empowered by microloans—and the hope they ignite. But the story doesn’t end there.

CAMBODIA: HOW MICROCREDIT IS MAKING THE WORLD EVEN POORER (DW Documentary, 2024, 42 min) reveals the darker side: mounting debt, illegal lenders, land loss, migration, broken families—and lives pushed to the brink.

Two films. One global myth. Real lives caught in between.
Join us for a powerful screening and rethink what microfinance really means for the world’s poor.

English subs. Free Entrance.
