Breaking Barriers: Filmmaker Photographer Gail Mooney
I invite you to listen to Gail Mooney and to hear all about her most recent documentary film Like a Woman. Like a Woman is a film about women who are breaking barriers in male-dominated professions. We hear of amazing and inspiring women from many different backgrounds and of many different ages, being who and what they want to be in their careers. Like A Woman is a film that informs women and girls about their unlimited potential and it empowers them to understand that there are limitless possibilities in todays workforce.
