Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide
The Half the Sky documentary is based off one of the most incredible and life-changing books I've ever read. If you don't have time to read the book (which you really should...), at least watch the documentary. It is hugely educational, and presents the issues faced in the documentary realistically. Yet it is also inspirational and captures your heart in a powerful way. "Half the Sky is shot in 10 countries: Cambodia, Kenya, India, Sierra Leone, Somaliland, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Liberia and the U.S. Inspired by Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn's book, the documentary series introduces women and girls who are living under some of the most difficult circumstances imaginable — and fighting bravely to change them. Traveling with intrepid reporter Nicholas Kristof and A-list celebrity advocates, the film reflects viable and sustainable options for empowerment and offers an actionable blueprint for transformation." -HalfTheSkyMovement.Org |
