In June 1893, European prospectors unlawfully took claim to ‘The Golden Mile’ on Aboriginal land.

What starts out as a quirky David-vs-Goliath political battle, unravels into a portrait of a man, a town and a country sent mad by the timeless cycles of exploitation, racism and greed.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

While there have been many movies about Wall Street, there has been little attention given to the specific challenges and stresses of the high-ranking women who work there. Risk/Reward is an insider's view of the demands and sacrifices that working mothers have in a typically high-powered, male- dominated industry. This film was selected for the 2003 Tribeca, Hot Docs and Full Frame Film Festivals (among others) and will air on the Oxygen network.Additionally, Risk/Reward is an excellent training and educational tool for young women who are considering pursuing finance and banking. This film is a must- see for anyone balancing career and family -- or anyone who is planning to.
