This is an eye-opening view of how some women across the globe have become leaders in the environmental movement. These women are concentrating on practical solutions to a wide variety of local problems instead of piling onto political bandwagons long on rhetoric and short on "on the ground" success. The initiatives range from the Green Belt Movement in Kenya to the creation of parks in The Bronx. Some of the projects were focusing more on creating justice than on a specific environmental purpose (not that the projects were unworthy of attention). The narration, at times, was a tad overstated, but entertaining all the same. It's a pleasure to see how the leadership of these women is attracting followers. The photography emphasizes the natural beauty of these sites around the world. The whole enterprise makes one feel optimistic and inspires us to make our own changes, albeit small and personal, to better the world.

The documentary is a form of non-fiction storytelling that aims to present factual information, insights, and perspectives on real-world subjects, events, issues, or people. Documentaries can cover a wide range of topics, including history, science, culture, social issues, nature, biographies, and more.
