RISK/REWARD is now available on DVD!
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.
