Celebrities support Education in Girl Rising

A-List celebrities joined forces for Education in the documentary Girl Rising.

Celebrities included in the film are: Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Selena Gomez, and Kerry Washington.

The documentary, directed by Richard E. Robbins, featured nine girls from developing countries who were not allowed an education.

The girls in the film are from Cambodia, Peru, Nepal, Egypt, Haiti, Sierra Leone,Ethiopia, and Afghanistan.

The film also has a social campaign, led by 10x10, that allows fans to request screenings of the film in their local theaters.

"When people see the film, I hope they will think we have told each story from the girl's point of view and through the lens of the writer who has grown up in the country they are writing about. There is very little judgement and these girls don't feel sorry for themselves, but they do grow up in a world that is limiting for them," said 10x10 Creative Director Holly Gordon.

Over 450 screenings have been requested to date.
