108 Worldwide. 24 Countries. 1 Promise. Filmed over three years in Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom, The Invisible Heart explores one of the fastest growing social innovations in modern history. An unorthodox marriage between capitalism and charity, Social Impact Bonds have made strange bedfellows: social workers and Wall Street bankers, the homeless and venture capitalists, conservative and liberal politicians. From the halls of power to the struggling underclass, The Invisible Heart follows an unusual cast of characters as they attempt to tackle everything from crime to homelessness to academic failure. With Social Impact Bonds governments repay investors only if the programs improve social outcomes, for example, lower unemployment or prison recidivism. Return on investment is tied to the success of a program.
