When women are in charge

Description

What would have happened if Lehman Brothers had been Lehman Sisters? Would the American investment company have gone under in the same way? If women had been in charge, would they have made the same mistakes? There is, obviously, no answer to this question, but the irony underlying it is present in the minds of some women in positions of power. It reflects their disgruntlement with how business, politics and the world in general are being run according to what they consider to be 'male values.' The program begins in Iceland, a country hit hard by the economic crisis, where women are filling positions left vacant in the wake of the economic collapse.
