L'Oreal Paris Women of Worth Vision Awards

For the past three years at the Sundance Film Festival, L'Oréal Paris and the Women In Film organization have been handing out the L'Oréal Paris Women of Worth Vision awards. According to the Women In Film website, "as one of the Sundance Film Festival's sponsors, L'Oréal Paris created the Women of Worth "Vision" award to honor a female filmmaker whose work reflects the spirit of L'Oréal Paris' Women of Worth initiative, which was inspired by the signature phrase "Because You're Worth It." The program recognizes women from around the country who serve their communities, inspire others by example and have an innate sense of social responsibility and act on it."
The 2009 winners received the honor on January 17 at the Third Annual L'Oréal Paris Women of Worth Vision Award Celebration hosted by Entertainment Weekly. "This year's award went to sisters Emily and Sarah Kunstler, directors of 'William Kunstler: Disturbing the Universe.' The award was presented by the first L'Oréal Paris Women of Worth Vision Award winner, director and screenwriter Cherien Dabis, who celebrated the premiere of her film 'Amreeka' at this year's festival," according to an Entertainment Weekly events advertising promotion page in the April 2009 issue of People Style Watch.
