“I often meet women who truly inspire me, and the Women of Carbon exemplify this perfectly.” -Nicole Alicia Xavier
“The story depicted in the film is still one of ringing optimism where a continued push, even at a community level, can make a world of difference.” - Kristine Klein
Film Description: Innovative women are redefining our relationship with carbon by repurposing living materials, reengineering waste into valuable chemicals that clean the climate, and driving decarbonization in our built environment. They share life/work challenges while thriving in male-dominated industries. Their collective wisdom comes together to form a singular belief and purpose to restore, protect and ultimately preserve the planet. The secret lies in the Earth itself. Told through a feminine lens, the story delves into the minds and spirits of dedicated, driven and dynamic 21st century trailblazers whose work is placing them at the core of decarbonization, human health and economic opportunity.
