Write a short summary of what happens in the film

In this film, we meet three women involved in the fish processing industry in Senegal. These women run their own micro-businesses processing fish caught in local waters and sold in local markets. We learn how they and their community have benefited from a series of small and micro loans that have provided the funds necessary for these women to put their businesses on a firm foundation. We learn that their success also supports Senegal's food security.
