Washington D.C. — Gayle Ferraro’s historic documentary To Catch a Dollar: Muhammad Yunus Banks on America, which premiered at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival, chronicles the inspiring, logic-defying, yet true story of Yunus’ idea to bring his model of microlending to the United States and depicts the millions of lives it has changed in the process. On March 31, this exciting documentary will be screened in 250 cities across the United States. Visit www.tocatchadollar.com to find the theater nearest you.
