Girl Rising, Saturday, April 20th, 6-8pm, La Jolla High School Parker Auditorium
Girl Rising (PG-13) is the culmination of 6 years of work by a
team of former journalists from ABC News. They set out to investigate
how to end global poverty and what they discovered was a simple elegant
truth: That educating girls is the highest-return investment you can
make in breaking cycles of poverty. The desire to spread that truth led
them to make this film. Among other stories, the movie features Suma
one of the 20,000 Room to Read Girls Education Program scholars.
Limited Seating Available
