Women Are Gold, a film by Lizzie Green, highlights the jewelry brand Penh Lenh in Cambodia and the work they’ve done to educate and motivate local, marginalized women.
Throughout the film, the women in Cambodia open up about their personal struggles and the help they’ve received since becoming a part of Penh Lenh. The benefits they’ve experienced range from career opportunities, to developing skills, to simply inhabiting a positive environment.
To say that Women Are Gold is an important project is an understatement. This film focuses on the good nature of people and even raises awareness about the privileges many of us often take for granted. Green paints a valuable picture of how one innovative project has the ability to empower and impact the lives of many.
The subject matter alone is captivating, but the documentary manner in which it is presented also provides the ability to grip viewers and easily keep their attention.
I would give this film 5/5 stars.
