Maital Guttman is a 24-year-old independent filmmaker whose socially impacting films have been seen all over the world. I wanted to interview this Duke University grad—and daughter of a rabbi—because of her inspirational desire to better the world using her own creative nature. She’s a positive Jewish role model, and her demonstration of tikkun olam, repairing the world, is one that we should all aspire to follow. Check out my interview with her right here.
