RISK/REWARD takes us inside the lives of a group of charismatic, tenacious businesswomen during one of the most tumultuous years on Wall Street - 2001. Meet four women unlike any characters you've seen on television or in movies before: Louise Jones, a self-made NYSE floor broker who went from a housing development to head of her own firm; top equity research analyst Carol Warner Wilke, whose competitive spirit is as electric as any Olympic champion's; Kimberley Euston, a sought-after foreign currency trader and mother to 18-month old twin boys; and Umber Ahmad, a freshly-minted investment banker with a dream to use the influence of her job for positive change in the world. Each of these women finds herself in the high-stakes game of life and work, relishing the freedom of financial independence and thriving in the competitive arena of high finance - while ever mindful of the downside of an industry that is notoriously unforgiving of one's personal life. In their pursuit of success, these women negotiate a complex maze of million-dollar transactions, new babies, weakening financial markets, family demands, intense competition, personal doubts, and the terrorist attacks of 9/11, all the while honestly analyzing, celebrating, and questioning the trade-offs of life and work faced by women everywhere. Going beyond the usual occupational and gender issues, RISK/REWARD is a ride along the ambition curve. Executive produced by Peter Gilbert, producer of the award-winning Hoop Dreams and Vietnam, Long Time Coming, RISK/REWARD explodes stale media clichés of women who work and creates a powerful portrait of the realities of women, work, family and feminism.
