“Against All Odds” is a documentary series about what it actually takes to succeed when the odds are stacked against you, told by women who did it, in an industry that did not expect their success. This documentary series is dedicated to capturing, reflecting, and advocating for women’s voices in the engineering and geoscience sectors.
Part One of this documentary featured ten senior women leaders across Western Canada’s most influential engineering and geoscience organizations. Each one tells the story of how they built a career, an identity, and influence in a profession that wasn’t designed with them in mind.
This documentary series talks about workplace climate, burnout, mentorship, leadership, and the quieter question of what it means to come home and manage your caregiving responsibilities.
The main concept of the film is a dandelion growing through concrete. It’s a symbol of resilience, perseverance, and hope; the secret strength that these successful women have shared to build their successful careers.
