Campbell to premier acclaimed documentary on virtues of entrepreneurship

Campbell University’s Lundy Chair of Business will premier the nationally acclaimed documentary, “The Call of the Entrepreneur,” Monday, Nov. 19 at 7:30 p.m. in Lynch Auditorium of the Lundy-Fetterman School of Business. Admission is free and open to the public.Produced by the Acton Institute for the Study of Religion and Liberty in Grand Rapids, Mich., “The Call of the Entrepreneur,” follows the stories of a merchant banker, a failing dairy farmer and a refugee from Communist China as one risks his savings, the other his farm and the last his life to achieve financial success. It attempts to answer frequently-asked questions about entrepreneurs, including how they are viewed and what drives them to create wealth.”The film extols the virtues of entrepreneurship and a free market economy from a Judeo-Christian perspective,” said Dr. Derek Yonai, Lundy Chair of Business, “a philosophy the School of Business strives to reinforce in its students.”Assistant national editor of “The Washington Times” Robert Stacy McCain said, “It may be hard for some people to believe that a discussion of economics can produce an emotionally powerful film experience, but the message and excellent cinematography of ‘The Call of the Entrepreneur’ make it so.”Sonny Bunch, of “The Weekly Standard” agreed. “‘The Call of the Entrepreneur’ is alternately funny, moving and educational,” he said.A question and answer session will be conducted following the 7:30 p.m. screening and an open reception will be held at 9 p.m. For more information and to RSVP, contact Dr. Derek Yonai at [email protected]/* */ or call 910.814.4354.
