    ABB Access to Electricity (short version)
    The film is highlighting the success of ABB's Access to Electricity rural electrification program, focusing on two different projects supported by ABB -- a mini-grid installed in a remote village in southern Tanzania, and a solar-powered project in hamlets deep in the deserts of Rajasthan, India. Filmed on location, the production shows how electricity can quite literally spark lasting economic, social and environmental change. Despite, droughts and recession, the results from the village of Ngarambe in Tanzania and the hamlets in western India are measurable and impressive.
