An equity research analyst, a foreign currency trader, a New York Stock Exchange floor broker and a rookie investment banker, each woman has made a conscious decision to work in an industry that is notoriously unforgiving of one's family and personal life. In the male-dominated world of finance these women's struggles are less about the glass ceiling and more about the pull of social convention. -- © Roland Park Productions [More]

Informative, engrossing documentary about women working in high-powered Wall Street business firms where men traditionally hold the reins.

In its pandering way, Risk/Reward provides its share of revealing detail.

The doc is redeemed by Louise, who was abandoned in a phone booth when she was two days old, worked her way up the stock market after high school and now is stepping back from her own company to have a baby with her long-time girlfriend.

There's something really endearing about watching a woman tickle her toddler as she brokers a multi-million dollar stock exchange.
