Film Description

Since 2000, Room to Read has supported 10,000 girls across eight countries in Asia and Africa with an education through secondary school. The multiplier effect of this education will impact not only these girls but their families and communities for generations to come. This is just one story among thousands. If the View Change Film community and judging panel determines our film to be the winner, we'll sponsor 30 girls' education through Room to Read's Girls' Education Program with the prize money. After all, it's the story of this community and its girls that gave us the content to create this visceral story of change.
