‘GIRL RISING’ 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. Girl Rising unites girls, women, boys and men: all those who believe every girl has the right to go to school and the right to reach her full potential. The movement uses the power of storytelling to build a global community. The film and website offer behind-the-scenes videos, advocacy trailers and free standards-aligned activities that are designed to raise awareness and inspire individuals to act on behalf of every girl. “Girl Rising” was launched by award-winning journalists at The Documentary Group with founding production partner Paul G. Allen’s Vulcan Productions, along with strategic partner Intel Corporation.
