DISPOSABLE – A DRAMA
The true story of Lauren Brown – who, in a search for her larger-than-life father’s love, starts a business to surpass even his - until she sees in herself what she abhorred in him.
BRIEF SYNOPSIS
Sometimes daughters just want to be like Dad.
She's got the passion. She's got the grit. But she's also got something to prove - to him.
So, when Lauren Brown launches her planet saving business, with goals and ideals even loftier than her father’s, she vows to do it – and without him.
Then one multi million dollar decision puts everything at risk.
So, Lauren convinces her goliath polluting competitors that her planet saving technology is their future, and she lands the opportunity of a lifetime.
But the clock is ticking and she has but one place left to turn.
Will Lauren forgive her father or lose her dreams and environmental aspirations to the horrors of business? Those same horrors that nearly destroyed him.
