Social Entrepreneurs: New Heroes of the 21st Century

A short doc by Koert Breebaart on how to solve inequality in Latin America based on gained insights during volunteering work in Argentina. Young people from this region that were born in poverty don't have a great outlook. And governments are lacking the resources to change that. The key to change are Social Entrepreneurs that use technology to provide more equal opportunities. They can make sustainable impact and improve people lives with education, access to healthcare, jobs, etc. However the climate in Latin America for social entrepreneurship is lacking. This short doc aims to convince the audience to support the social entrepreneurship movement in any type or form.

Director Statement

In April 2016, I lived in Buenos Aires to help one of the best known Argentina NGO's, called Socialab, to start the first social accelerator in Latin America. It turned out to be one of the best months in my life and with great success. I feel it my obligation to the world to summarize my insights on how inequalities in Latin America can be best solved. Ergo this short documentary. It is my hope that this short doc will motivate the audience to support Social Entrepreneurs in anyway they can. Social Entrepreneurs will be the new heroes of the 21st Century!
