Summary:
"Travel the globe to meet nine unforgettable
girls
- striving beyond circumstance, pushing past limits. Their dreams, their voices, their incredible stories are captured in a film about the strength of the human spirit and the power of
education
to change the world.
Girls
featured include Ruksana, an Indian pavement-dweller whose father sacrifices his own basic needs for his daughters dreams; Sokha, an orphan who rises from a life in a Cambodian landfill to become a star student and accomplished dancer; and Suma, who writes songs to help her endure forced servitude in Nepal and today crusades to liberate others. More than a film, Girl Rising is the heart of a movement that is spreading around the world promoting this powerful truth: Educating
girls
in the
developing
world can transform families, communities, entire
countries
and break the cycle of poverty in just one generation."--Container.
