Losing your job in a bad economy is a terrible situation for anyone to be in. But what if you could take that terrible situation and turn it into something positive?
A new documentary called "Lemonade" highlights people who are doing just that. The filmmaker was in Wicker Park last night for a Q&A after a showing of the film at Chopin Theatre.
In "Lemonade", you meet people who all used to have great jobs in the advertising world. After getting let go, they all decided to start over. They took their layoffs as an opportunity to find their calling and follow their dreams.
"It's not a pink slip. It's a blank page."
You can see some of their inspiring stories in the trailer for the movie:
CBS 2 ran a story yesterday about the movie showing. It highlighted a local woman who was in a similar situation. She lost her job and decided to start a blog to share all the kid friendly activities her family enjoys around the Chicago area. It's called On The Go Chicago.
