Overcoming poverty, hunger and defining a sense of purpose are the topics of two featured programs on KRCB Public Television 22 that promote wellness in diverse communities.

• “Reinventing Yourself,” Sept. 2, 10:30 p.m.: The film focuses on individuals who have decided to start life all over again in midlife, reshaping their work, their sense of purpose, their relationships, even their personalities. In one story, this decision helped to redefine the future of the entire Chickasaw Nation.

• “Bonsai People – The Vision of Muhammad Yunus,” Sept. 9, 10:30 p.m.: This program takes a compelling look at one Nobel Peace Prize winner's attempt to harness the power of the free market to solve the problems of poverty, hunger and inequality. Muhammad Yunus – one of only seven people in the world to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Congressional Gold Medal – pioneered the innovative banking program known as microcredit. The program, which provides poor people with small loans they can use to launch businesses, has since spread to every continent and has benefited more than 100 million families. More recently, Yunus felt the need to move beyond microcredit into other fields, including healthcare. Bonsai People examines how he, in partnership with some of the world's most visionary businesses, launched ventures designed to tackle social problems. One such collaboration with Danone provides affordable, nutritious yogurt for malnourished children in Bangladesh.
