The Call of the Entrepreneur, a film produced by the Acton Institute, will be shown Thursday, November 15, at Extreme Screen Theatre at Union Station, 30 West Pershing Rd, Kansas City, MO. It is a story about three entrepreneurs:
Brad Morgan – Morgan turned a failing dairy farm into a thriving business. Morgan overcame the odds against him, creating value and wealth from the dirt under his feet.
Frank Hanna – Hanna is a merchant banker who explains how financial engineering not only makes credit more widely available to entrepreneurs today but also played a crucial role in the discovery of America.
Jimmy Lai – Fleeing Communist China and leaving his family behind at a young age, Jimmy Lai took a chance on a better life in Hong Kong. Lai explains that entrepreneurs, when taking risks, are "dashing into hope."
The blurb on the DVD says:
A merchant banker. A failing dairy farmer. A refugee from Communist China. One risked his savings. One risked his farm. One risked his life.
Why do their stories matter? Because how we view entrepreneurs – as greedy or altruistic, as virtuous or vicious – shapes the destinies of individuals and nations.
