About the Documentary:
Join us for a groundbreaking documentary on women transforming construction while combating climate change. Echoing the spirit of the original Industrial Revolution, these visionary women are on a quest to inspire change for a sustainable planet. Their innovative work places them at the core of decarbonization, human health, and economic opportunity. Directed by Basia + Leonard Myszynski, “Women of Carbon” shares their empowering journeys and collective vision for a better world.
Their creative and thorough review of low-carbon building materials and technologies, from algae-based alternative cement and electrified manufacturing to mass timber and greener steel, focuses on the next generation of infrastructure materials.
These 18 innovative women are redefining our relationship with carbon by repurposing living materials, reengineering waste into valuable chemicals that clean the climate, and driving decarbonization in our built environment. They share life and work challenges while flourishing in industries dominated by men. Their collective wisdom converges into a shared belief and purpose to restore, protect, and ultimately preserve the planet.
"Women of Carbon" highlights their impactful journeys and aims to shed light on the urgent need for both gender equality and sustainable solutions. Our goal is to inspire compassion, reveal viable paths forward, and ultimately change how we think about our planet and our place within it.
