Girl Rising: Nine unforgettable girls – striving beyond circumstance, pushing past limits – are spotlighted in this film about the strength of the human spirit and the power of education to change the world. The girls are unique, but the obstacles they face are ubiquitous. Like the 66 million girls in the world who dream of going to school, what they want most is to be students. Now, by sharing their personal journeys, they have become teachers. Watch Girl Rising, and you will see: One girl with courage is a revolution.
