This groundbreaking doco-series illuminates Queensland stories of resilience, innovation and triumph, as embodied by women in the manufacturing industry.
Each episode sheds light on the pivotal role played by women in driving forward the wheels of progress in one of Queensland’s biggest industries. As manufacturers embrace the transformative power of diversity, these stories shine a powerful light on what was, what is, and what will be.
