“Inspiring,” “gorgeous,” “eye opening.” These are the words used by those who have seen Girl Rising! in which nine spirited girls from nine different countries push past incredible odds to achieve their goals. Their remarkable lives are captured in this unforgettable film about the strength of the human spirit and the power of education to change the world. Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Liam Neeson, Kerry Washington, Cate Blanchett, Priyanka Chopra, Salma Hayek, Chloë Grace Moretz, Selena Gomez, Freida Pinto and Alicia Keys narrate the stories, but the real stars are the girls themselves who vow to get an education. In experiencing the richness of each story, we discover how a single girl with drive and determination can become the catalyst for positive change.
