Filmmaker Lisa Madison's new project highlights five female entrepreneurs who are determined to have positive impact on their communities.
Oftentimes, the word"business" feels synonymous with capitalism: People selling goods or services to get rich. But around the world, female entrepreneurs are launching businesses that do more than just make money. They make incredible change.
In a series of five short films (aptly titled
Five), filmmaker Lisa Madison shares the stories of five women who started companies to create impact in their communities. Each woman is from a different corner of the globe and has a different social mission, but one thing remains constant: They are all determined to impact their communities in a positive way. There's Carolina Ignarra, the founder of Talento Incluir, a consulting firm focused on including disabled people in the workforce (São Paulo, Brazil); Ekta Jaju, the entrepreneur behind ONganic Foods, a business that creates sustainable farming solutions (Calcutta, India); Sarah Beydoun, the founder of Sarah’s Bag, which teaches incarcerated and at-risk women the trade of making handbags in order to support their families (Beirut, Lebanon); Irena Orlovic, the owner of publishing house Harfa, which creates educational resources for families navigating developmental disabilities (Split, Croatia); and Maya-Camille Broussard, owner of Justice of the Pies, a social mission-based bakery that serves children in low-income communities (Chicago, USA).
