About the film
In 2017, Meaghan & Marie Wright and Joseph Huyer drove 8500 kilometers across Canada in a 1983 chevy motorhome interviewing over 50 people in 14 cities and 9 provinces in 6 weeks to explore the topic of doing business differently, challenging the status quo and ushering in an new era of enterprises.
They traveled across the nation, floating on a geographic canvas of consumption and inequity, kindness and generosity, and, most of all, a drive for change. They shared the stories of fired-up citizens who added a different type of value to the world through business: social value. This value was not only economic but also improved people’s lives and bettered society. It built communities, protected the environment, supported local initiatives, and employed people of all abilities. It was a type of value that lived up to the responsibilities that our world and future relied on.
