Three women take matters into their own hands when they establish their own businesses in Peru, Sri Lanka, and Senegal, shaping their futures with bravery. Gladys Yupanqui from Peru runs a minimart, Magatte Wade from Senegal starts a cosmetics factory, and Selyna Peiris from Sri Lanka takes over her mother’s textile business. Laws in nearly a third of the world’s countries prevent women from equal access to work—with devastating effects on poverty rates. This documentary captures how local entrepreneurship creates livelihoods and brings about lasting change.
