Muhammad Yunus: Banker to the Poor (preview)

A preview of Muhammad Yunus: Banker to the Poor - one of a series of 16 DVDs created by Ashoka's Global Academy for Social Entrepreneurship. Dr. Yunus, recently awarded the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize, describes his three-decade-long effort to extend micro-credit (small loans for self-employment). Grameen Bank, his creation, now makes small loans to seven million families in Bangladesh, and has helped almost half of them work their way out of poverty. This is the story of his life-long struggle and accomplishments, told in his own words. Produced by Rooy Media LLC for Ashoka. To purchase the films, visit dvd.ashoka.org.

I'm a teacher, I'd love to show this video to my pupils (14 years old).

Is there a version in French (spoken or subtitled)?

Otherwise, can anyone advise how I can add subtitles?

(I've found a few interviews of Mr Yunus in French, but this one is animated, easy to understand - ideal for my pupils!)

His memoir "Banker to the Poor" is an inspiring book! Turning great ideas into actions to help other is his asset. I respect him for the good intentions and the sincere wiliness to find solution for poverty.
