     Searching the web for short video clips related to this bog, I came across a short video on YouTube by documentary filmmaker Melissa Eidson.  Eidson has made a documentary called “The Women of Chiapas“, profiling and interviewing women in from the troubled Mexican province.  Here’s a short preview of the movie, showing clips of women talking about the Grameen-inspired (providing loans and credit to the poorest of the poor) micro-financing that has helped them obtained funding for garments, nutrition, and in the words of one of the interviewees, “so they can have the keys to real social development“.  Click here if the video above isn’t working out for you.
