On April 16th at 6:30pm in the Wilder Pavilion, Her Campus Bentley, along with the Women’s Center, will be screening a new movie called Girl Rising. Academy Award-nominated director Richard E. Robbins’ portrays the strength of the human spirit and the power of education to change the world in this inspiring feature film narrated by 11 of Hollywood’s most influential stars. This begins a global campaign to educate and empower girls.

“Girl Rising is about the formative impact education can have on a girls’ life” said director, Richard E. Robbins. “Girl Rising’s nine stories represent millions of girls who deserve to go to school, but can’t. Thanks to the remarkable organizing efforts of people around the country, Girl Rising will be seen by thousands around the nation who’ve demanded a screening…one we hope can help us get girls into school.”

HC Bentley has been given an amazing opportunity to screen the film privately for our students, faculty, and staff so do not miss this night! Snacks will be provided.

One girl with courage is a revolution. A revolution has begun that cannot be stopped.
