I’ll Stand By You

The official trailer for the documentary, Girl Rising has been released. Selena Gomez is just one of the many actresses contributing her voice to this film.

“The film spotlights unforgettable girls like Sokha, an orphan who rises from the dumps of Cambodia to become a star student and an accomplished dancer; Suma, who composes music to help her endure forced servitude in Nepal and today crusades to free others; and Ruksana, an Indian ‘pavement-dweller’ whose father sacrifices his own basic needs for his daughter’s dreams.

Each girl is paired with a renowned writer from her native country. Edwidge Danticat, Sooni Taraporevala Aminatta Forna and others tell the girls’ stories, each in it’s style, and all with profound resonance.”
