What did you film on 12.12.12?

The important rolle that women play in the current effort to protect the environment, restore hope and peace for future generations. I grow up in the forest of Honduras and my life has change drastically as I move to the United States. What I have come to realized is that here in USA as well in developing countries like Honduras, women hold their selfs back from participating deeply on politics. However, there a lot of women who independently are doing great things for their communities and for other people and communities miles away from them. I would like to document some of this women, ask them what inspirers them, what frustrates them, what they hope to achieve in the long term.
