Dear Global Family Enterprise Community,

Happy Friday! We urge you to catch up with these critically acclaimed and awarded entertainments, all with a family enterprise theme.
(Academy Award winner for Best Picture, Adapted Screenplay, and Supporting Actor)

This coming-of-age movie, CODA (Child of Deaf Adults), follows the story of Ruby Rossi. As the only hearing member in her family, Ruby is vital to the family fishing business, but Ruby also has her own dream, singing. This heartwarming movie dives deep into the reality of the sacrifices family business members make and the specific challenges facing CODAs.

The Gilded Age was the name given to the period following the Civil War until the turn of the new century, a time in American history when there was massive economic growth and exorbitant materialism. This HBO Max TV show takes place in 1882, in the heart of affluent New York. The show follows two neighboring families that face opposing hurdles: The Brook-Van Rhijns, who are considered "old money" but who struggle to maintain their lifestyle, and the Russells, who have a plethora of "new money" but find it difficult to be accepted in high society.

Dopesick centers on dynamics behind the scenes at Purdue Pharma, owned by the Sackler family. Throughout the series, viewers are shown the legal process of the Purdue Pharma trial and how the opioid crisis tore families and community members apart.
