“The Empowerment Project is a movement — with a powerful documentary film at its core — to honor the women in our lives. We believe in the power of cinema to create social change. We have found the way to achieve that is to bring this film to communities around the country and around the world. The film is available for purchase as part of an educational kit designed to empower audiences worldwide. Click here to learn more.
