She is promoting her new film upcoming Luc Besson film Columbiana recently revealed why she took on the role.
She is also using her voice for a cause to support FINCA International, an organization that promotes women’s entrepreneurship to help escape poverty in developing countries through microfinancing initiatives.The oppurtunity with [producer/screenwriter] Luc Besson, another filmmaker I completely respect, and who’s known for writing great roles for women. And I was excited about working with an international cast and crew. And even though it’s a typical story of revenge, it’s a story told through the eyes of a woman who was hurt when she was a little girl and who grows up wanting justice for what was done to her. I felt touched by that.
“There are so many women in the world who are less fortunate, and struggling to provide for their families,” Saldana said in a statement. “FINCA is working tirelessly to help give these women a hand up, so that they are able to take care of their families and break free of poverty. We hope to show how a small loan can change the lives of so many women living in poverty—and better the lives of their children.”
