Risk/Reward's Blurbs |
About me:
RISK/REWARD captures, for the first time, an intimate look into the corridors of financial power from a unique perspective. It follows the lives of four tenacious Wall Street women - a research analyst, a currency trader, a NYSE floor broker and a rookie investment banker. Each finds herself in a high-stakes arena, enthralled by the freedom of financial independence. Yet, despite their privileges the women are always mindful of the industry's downside: It is notoriously unforgiving of one's personal life. In the film, these women negotiate multi-million-dollar transactions, new babies, intense competition, and personal doubts - all against the backdrop of 9/11.

Comments
"It's an enduring mystery why women, even at this late date, haven't been granted full citizenship in the financial world. Risk/ Reward artfully sheds light on it, and is fun to watch in the bargain."
-- Michael Lewis, author of "Liar's Poker" and "Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game"
"a breathtaking piece of work... (the filmmakers) moved the football fifty yards up the field for women in the industry"
-- Janet Tiebout Hanson, founder, 85 Broads, CEO Milestone Capital Management
