A crash course in changing the world.
I chose the post on education for girls:

It's about two filmmakers who traveled to Nepal and Uganda in 2010 to find the answer to one question: What does it take to educate a girl? In 2000, 110 million children in the world were not in school and two thirds of them were girls. I looked up the film and found some great information about it, including some stills from the movie:
In the movie the filmmakes meet some girls and find out how they manage to stay in school. Many girls in countries like Nepal and Uganda have to deal with Early marriage, child labor, pregnancy, lack of access or violence. They still have to find a way to study.
The Movie has been screened on many festivals and featured in many more articles. For example the article that Caty Borum Chattoo wrote for the huffington post:

you can even watch big parts of the Movie there!
Projects like this really inspires me. Since I'm studying media sciences it shows me that media does have the power to change the world and there are good things that can be done with it.
