Meet the girls
From Academy Award-nominated director Richard E. Robbins, Girl Rising spotlights the unforgettable stories of nine girls living in the developing world, striving beyond circumstance and overcoming nearly insurmountable odds to achieve their dreams.
The narration talents of renowned actors and the moving words of prize-winning authors combine and give voice to the girls stories and this powerful truth: educating girls can transform families, communities, countries and eventually, the world.
