The Alexandria chapter of Dining for Women wants to show the amazing documentary Girl Rising at their newly-renovated Old Town theater on Wednesday May 29, 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. - and they can do it only if they get 100 seats reserved by May 17.

A little background:
The film was created by 10x10, a global campaign to educate and empower girls. Girl Rising tells the stories of 9 girls from around the world who face -and overcome - unbelievable obstacles on the path toward getting an education. Each girl's story was written by an author and is narrated by a cast of great actresses, including Meryl Streep, Kerry Washington, Anne Hathaway, Salma Hayek, Alicia Keys, and others. The cinematography is stunning and I really am excited to see the film, and to be involved in a global effort for girls' education.
