At first "Sixteen Decisions" looks, sounds, and feels more like an art or experimental film than a documentary about women in rural Bangladesh. The film opens with a Bangladeshi folk singer’s voice substituted for a flute as we begin the descent into the rural landscape, which provides the backdrop for the graphic-art treatment of the ‘16 Decisions’ of the Grameen Bank. We emerge from the montage to meet Selina, 18, and mother of two children, Dr. Muhammad Yunus, founder of Grameen Bank, and Gayle Ferraro, filmmaker. Their combined presence and voices articulate, interact, and develop a powerful and profound story, revealing a reality of past and present pain, uplifting goals, and the need for resources to move forward.
