# *Economic Freedom in Action: Changing Lives*

The rise in economic freedom in countries across the globe in recent decades has led to greater prosperity and improvements in the well-being of hundreds of millions of people. *Economic Freedom in Action: Changing Lives* profiles inspiring entrepreneurs from some of those countries and shows how increased opportunity has allowed them to build better futures for themselves and their communities. Join us to see a segment of the documentary from the Free to Choose Network, which will air on public television this fall. Michael Walker, founder of the Fraser Institute and originator of its annual *Economic Freedom of the World* report upon which this film is based, will comment on the impact of the report. Film host Johan Norberg will discuss the transformative power of economic freedom.
