"
Girl Rising is the kind of stirring documentary that parents should watch with their mature tweens or teens and then discuss the ideas it raises — girl empowerment, education, and equality.

“Girl Rising” isn’t a movie or even a documentary, at least not in the traditional sense. It’s a lengthy, highly effective PSA designed to kickstart a commitment to getting proper education for all young women, all over the globe.
