Film: Architects of Change II
Film description:
“They are farmers, chemists, architects, doctors, retailers and bankers. They are also “architects of change” – people searching for and applying innovative solutions to the dangers that threaten our future. Far from being ecological or political militants, they are above all entrepreneurs who believe in creative capitalism to boost social, economic and environmental wealth. Meet them in the new season of Architects of Change.”
