Educate Girls and Change the World


Girl Rising — Montage from Sarofsky on Vimeo.
Sarofsky worked with the filmmakers to create many of the interstitals and graphics.

Girl Rising — a new documentary from Oscar nominated filmmaker Richard E. Robbins — consists of nine different girl’s stories of how education factored into her life circumstances. Each girl was paired with a female writer from her own country, and then her story was filmed and narrated. Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Liam Neeson and other acclaimed actors contribute voice performances to the film. For more information on how to see the film, click here.
