Tribeca Films: Alt Shift Life 

The very human side of tech success 

In this world, access is everything—and, historically, the technology sector has been a gated community.

From Bangalore to Jersey City, this film celebrates their successes while exploring the struggles they faced along the way. Helmed by Oscar-nominated director Laura Checkoway, Alt Shift Life will leave you moved, inspired, and ready to rise up. Give it a watch!
