Help educate many about how entrepreneurs benefit society! Identify your local PBS station, contact it by phone or email, ask that "The Call of the Entrepreneur" be shown Sat., February 16. That day, "Entrepreneur" will be distributed by NETA, the largest PBS distributor, to more than 200 stations across the country via satellite uplink. You could be the one who prompts the station to air it.

"Entrepreneur" is the Acton Institute's first documentary. Today’s email missive from Acton states, the film "vividly illustrates how entrepreneurs bless society rather than exploit it." The note says, the film

appeals to a wide variety of viewers by telling the stories of three very different entrepreneurs: a big-city merchant banker, a struggling dairy farmer from the Midwest, and a boy who escaped from communist China and went on to build a retailing and media empire in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Also included in the documentary is the Rev. Robert A. Sirico, president of the Acton Institute and author of The Entrepreneurial Vocation, along with Michael Novak, George Gilder and other experts exploring how entrepreneurs shape our world.
