LOS ANGELES, CALIF.: 14 January 2009 – ...”This multiple-award winning film is brilliant on many
levels,” says Mr. Ron Nechemia, the Chairman and Founder of EurOrient Financial Group, the world’s
first private-sector global development financial institution, which is accredited by the United Nations
General Assembly on Financing for Development. Mr. Nechemia believes that this film provides
unprecedented opportunity to raise global public awareness to the challenges facing humanity in the 21st
Century and more particularly to poverty in its multi demotions, such as poor health, illiteracy, inadequate
schooling, social exclusion, powerlessness and gender discrimination. Says Mr. Nechemia: “Through the
commercial success of this extraordinary film, director Danny Boyle successfully manages to tell this
wonderfully uplifting tale against the backdrop of the horrific living conditions in Mumbai, India, one of
the world’s most populated cities, but one which severely lacks the most basic services to meet
fundamental human rights and needs.”
