Gal Gadot emphasizes “Wonder Women” from Puerto Rico, Brazil and elsewhere

The Angels. Just like her Wonder Woman character, Gal Gadot has a mission: to create a movement to promote goodness in the world.

The “Wonder Woman” star works behind the scenes as an executive producer on “Impact,” a series of short documentaries premiering April 19 on the National Geographic channel.

The six-part series features women from Brazil, Puerto Rico and elsewhere who overcome obstacles and do extraordinary things. They are women who live in communities affected by violence, poverty, discrimination and oppression.

“I keep calling them my wonder women because they are real heroines”the 35-year-old Israeli actress said in a video call on Tuesday. “I go to the set, put on my suit and fight like fiction. But they are actually in place, sweating and doing everything they can to make the world a better place.

Gadot has played Wonder Woman since 2016, including in the sequel “Wonder Woman 1984” (“Wonder Woman 1884”) last year. He said he began to understand his influence and responsibility in 2017, when he starred in the first film dedicated to his character.

“My credo is very similar to Wonder Woman’s credo”Gadot said. “I am all love and positivity and peace. It suited me very well. “
