The story we want to tell through this film is universal, and wishes to communicate to a worldwide audience that it is possible to change the world, just as Yunus was able to help the poor by looking at things from a new perspective and revolutionizing the concepts of lending and banking.

Through this film we aim to encourage people to fight for their dreams, and shake the arrogant and blind West out of its complacency, demonstrating that being rich does not automatically equate to being just. I was very touched when I read the book and I soon decided to make this film in order to spread all over the world the innovative work of Yunus.

Ryan's deteriorating retinas are an essential motif in the film. The audience will at times see the world through Ryan's progressively deteriorating POV. In addition, the audience will see (with the help of computer generated imagery) the chemical process of Retinitis Pigmentosa as the pigment in the eyes attacks the rods and cones until they are scarred useless. TV shows like “CSI” and “House,” as well as feature films like Three Kings and Requiem for a Dream have successfully used this technique to show the inner processes of the human body.

My ambition is to make a biopic worthy of Stanley Milgram -- fastidious and precise while maintaining a sense of formal complexity, a sense of play.

The first third: matter-of-fact, process-oriented, adhering to authentic records as we re-enact the controversial obedience experiments.

Stanley will narrate the story's second part, appearing, as he did in his own educational films, as an omniscient, Rod Serling-type figure explaining the increasingly fraught Twilight Zone of his life at Harvard in the mid-sixties.

The third section will deal with Milgram's broadening sense of himself as a scientist/artist, and the compromises and insights of middle age.

I wanted to explore the little-known subculture of professional guinea pigs -- normal, healthy human beings who test experimental drugs for money.  To me it is a window into the kinds of deals humans make to survive, both emotionally and physically.
