Seizing the moment at a crossroads in his life, Daniel decides to return to his homeland in Mali and start a local business building solar panels, the first of its kind in the sun drenched nation. Daniel&#8217;s goal is to electrify the households of rural communities, 99% of which live without power. [The film] tells the story of Daniel&#8217;s journey growing the budding idea into a viable company, and of the business&#8217; impact on Daniel&#8217;s first customers in the tiny village of Banko. Addressing climate change, poverty, and self-sufficiency, the film demonstrates how a small-scale, local business model can improve jobs, appropriate products, and empower poor people everywhere.&#8221; &#8212; Container.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;     Normal   0               false   false   false      EN-US   X-NONE   X-NONE                                                     MicrosoftInternetExplorer4                                                   &lt;![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                &lt;![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 10]&gt;  &lt;![endif]--><b><span>DVD 9248<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/b><span><\/span><b><span><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/b><span>Distributor description:  <a href=\"http:\/\/bullfrogfilms.com\/catalog\/burn.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/bullfrogfilms.com\/catalog\/burn.html<\/a><\/span>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;26-year-old Daniel Dembe\u0301le\u0301 is equal parts West African and European, and looking to make his mark on the world.
