The Cambodia Charitable Trust is excited to be hosting the internationally acclaimed film Girl Rising at the State Cinema, Nelson. Directed by Academy-nominated Richard E. Robbins, Girl Rising shares the inspirational stories of nine girls in developing countries. Starting with a story from Cambodia, a country close to our heart, it moves to stories from Haiti, Nepal, Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Peru, Sierra Leone and Afghanistan. Prize-winning authors put the girls’ remarkable stories into words and renowned actors, including Meryl Streep, Liam Neeson, Cate Blanchett, Selena Gomez and Anne Hathaway, give them a voice to portray the tremendous challenges and near-impossible odds they have overcome to pursue their dreams. The message is a timeless one of courage and perseverance. Education brings opportunities. This is especially true for girls. The Cambodia Charitable Trust supports education in Cambodia and sponsors girls from poor families so as they can go to school. 4 & 11 November, 6.15pm session. Tickets $20, proceeds going to the Cambodia Charitable Trust. Book at State Cinema (03) 548 3885 or http://www.statecinemas.co.nz/coming_soon
