The film, Small Fortunes, which i had viewed intially on my little TV had an even stronger impact seeing it on the big screen. I was so moved by the woman who nearly broke down recalling the abject poverty she had endured prior to accessing micro-credit; it opened my heart for the rest of the evening. The speakers were so genuine, sincere and knowledgable, and so willing to answer our questions. Anyone who left without a deeper understanding of poverty and the incredible hope embodied in the world's women would have to have been asleep. Thanks Mandy! This was truly a service to the community. Last night’s screening was a wonderful experience.
