She Rises Up
Maureen Castle Tusty / United States / 2024 / 91 min
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.
