Girl Rising

World Vision Canada is a proud to invite you to an exclusive screening of Girl Rising, an inspiring film that spotlights the stories of nine unforgettable girls born into unforgiving circumstances. Journeying around the globe to witness the strength of the human spirit, Girl Rising gives voice to the daunting challenges faced by girls navigating adolescence in much of the developing world, and demonstrates the power of education.

Girl Rising features nine girls, each paired with a renowned writer from her native country to use the power of storytelling to deliver a single message: educating girls in developing countries will change the world.



Two of the girls in the film are World Vision sponsored children: Ruksana from India, and Azmera from Ethiopia.

Directed by Academy Award-nominated director Richard E. Robbins, Girl Rising is narrated by celebrated actresses: Cate Blanchett, Priyanka Chopra, Selena Gomez, Anne Hathaway, Salma Hayek, Alicia Keys, Chloë Moretz, Freida Pinto, Meryl Streep, and Kerry Washington. Girl Rising also features Freida Pinto and Liam Neeson, as well as original music from Academy Award-winner Rachel Portman and Lorne Balfe.
