Watch Pennies a Day

What's keeping the hard-working, but poor, rural villagers in Bangladesh from escaping poverty?

Thus was born the idea of microcredit - giving very small loans to poor people to allow them to start successful businesses.

Pennies a Day is a 2009 special interest movie with a runtime of 13 hours.
