Bangaleren Shahjahan Siraj har drejet en 17 minutter lang dokumentarfilm for “Machizo Multimedia” om låntagere i den Nobelprisbelønnede Muhammed Yunus Grameen Bank (landsbybank) i Bangladesh – ham, der opfandt begrebet mikrokreditter, dvs små lån til fattige.
Det er ikke særligt opløftende for Yunus, hvad filmen når frem til. Den kan nu ses på nettet via youtube på

Shahjahan Siraj skriver i sin præsentation på youtube:
The voices of civil society and city dwellers on Grameen Bank and Muhammad Yunus have been published widely and positively in the media.
However, the voices of rural people particularly the women borrowers who are directly linked with the Grameen Bank, a Muhammad Yunus initiative, do not get adequately heard.
We have produced this video documentary with random interviewing of the borrowers (låntagere) in ten Bangladeshi villages to reveal the hidden truth on Grameen Bank’s interest rate (rentefod), instalments (afdrags) system, poverty alleviation, development impacts of the loans in rural poor’s life.
Man kan også se en kortere version af filmen på youtube.
