About this Event
Poverty, unemployment, and carbon emissions are global problems. What if there was a way to face these issues and bring them to zero?
Borrowing its title from Muhammad Yunus’ bestseller A World of 3 Zeros, this documentary explores the ability of social entrepreneurship to tackle these issues across the globe, discovering new ways of living together and doing business in a responsible and sustainable perspective. Zero net carbon emissions. Zero poverty. Zero unemployment.
Directors Áine Clarke and Michel Van der Veken first met with Muhammad Yunus in 2016, ten years after he had been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, along with the Grameen Bank, “for their efforts to create economic and social development from below”*. Inspired by his achievements and by his own humility, fascinated by his visionary business ideas, Áine and Michel started their own journey. This documentary is both their journal and their open letter to people and businesses all over the world.
