Traveling halfway across the world and putting together a documentary in under three weeks is no easy task. However when you have a team of people who are dedicated to telling the story of such an important organization, you make it happen. Not for yourself, not for awards, but for the women who are turning their lives around and the people who are helping them make it happen.
