Join us at the American Center to watch THREADS and to have a discussion with the film producer, Leonard Hill.
With the aim of creating art for social change, and expanding economic opportunities for women, THREADS is a documentary that tells a compelling story to raise awareness of an important, but often overlooked, area of economic empowerment in emerging economies — artisan enterprise. The film depicts a visionary leader in Bangladesh, Surayia Rahman, who frees herself and hundreds of other women and families from poverty and social hardships by creating timeless works of art.
