The Call of the Entrepreneur

Pin It

The documentary, The Call of the Entrepreneur, premiers tonight at the American Film Renaissance Festival.

What’s it about? Here’s the marketing spin:

A merchant banker. A failing dairy farmer. A refugee from Communist China. One risked his savings. One risked his farm. One risked his life.

Why do their stories matter? Because how we view entrepreneurs—as greedy or altruistic, as virtuous or vicious—shapes the destinies of individuals and nations.

The Club for Growth got a sneak peak and had this to say:

It’s a fun, feel-good movie that provides real life examples of how entrepreneurs have succeeded personally, and how they’ve made the world a better place. The show also cuts into commentary from free market leaders who help clarify the entrepreneur’s vital and indispensable role in our economy.

Real estate agents are by definition entrepreneurs. The trailer is intriguing. Might be worth $20 and an hour…

An in-depth review is here.

Comments

We always appreciate your comments! Phoenix Real Estate Guy uses two commenting systems, Facebook and LiveFyre. LiveFyre is the most robust system (and easy to use!). It allows you to login with Twitter, Facebook, Google+ LinkedIn, OpenId, LiveFyre and as a "Guest". I recommend getting a LiveFyre account, it has some great features (just click the LiveFyre button when you write your comment).

 

BLOG COMMENT POLICY: We respectfully ask that you use your real name (first name only is fine) and not use keywords (Why no keywords?). The only real "comment rules" are be civil -- no personal attacks -- and no advertising. (See the full comment policy here). Opinion and debate are welcome, but attack the idea, not the person.

Great doco! I highly recommend it. I'm really surprised how few documentaries are made about Entrepreneurs and the pivotal role they play in the economy. I know from personal experience its a tough gig being a entrepreneur and i think this doco gives a balanced portrayal of what we face.

It looks interesting. I have seen it so I might be off the market recently. The only thing that bothers me is I dont like the way some documentaries hold up the idea of betting the farm on a new business. I am all for starting up businesses but their is something to be said for being a little conservative in how much risk you expose yourself too.

An exquisite video. Very few modern documentaries show the life and reality of entrepreneurs as it is. This one manages to do it perfectly.
