On the Backs of Women (2016)

Set in the small town of Kalaymyo, Myanmar, On the Backs of Women is the story of three entrepreneurial Burmese women working their way out of poverty. Each has their own set of challenging life circumstances they must struggle with to survive. Through small loans made by a local microfinance bank, they are offered hope and solidarity, and a chance to grow. Their stories are a reflection of thousands of entrepreneurial women experiencing poverty around the world. A story of commitment through desperation, and ultimately the drive to create a better life for themselves and the people they love.
