Ibrahim Abouleish – Der Visionär

A Film by Bertram Verhaag

Dokumentary Film 45 Minutes

In the year 2003 the Egyptian entrepreneur IBRAHIM ABOULEISH experienced a big breakthrough. In quick succession he received the highest awards offered by two global institutions that otherwise avoid each other like fire and water.
In autumn he was awarded the ALTERNATIVE NOBEL PRIZE by the Right Livelihood Foundation for his „Economy of Love“ – his unique model of an innovative economy that impressively combines ecological, social and cultural developments with economic success.
Only a few months earlier the Schwab Foundation, organizer of the annual
WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM in Davos, Switzerland, and an engine of economic globalisation, presented Ibrahim Abouleish`s corporate group SEKEM to the world as a model enterprise of sustainable economy.
How could a project evoke so much enthusiasm in such different institutions?
