Bonsai People – Unleashing the power of the free market to eliminate poverty, hunger, and inequality. Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus did his part to fight poverty by micro-lending $27 to 42 women, an effort which has now grown to 8 million women and 8 billion dollars and been replicated around the world. But Yunus didn't stop there. Now, Yunus goes beyond microcredit to pioneer the idea of social business - a completely new way to use the creative vibrancy of business to tackle social problems from poverty and pollution to inadequate health care and lack of education.

Bonsai shows how Yunus believes It's not about handouts, it's about hand ups.This Holly Mosher movie was premiered on 28th June 2011 - Social Business Day.
