Curated by global education nonprofit Room to Read, the six-episode short film series narrates the stories of six girls hailing from historically low-income communities in Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Tanzania and Vietnam who confront diverse challenges unique to their lives and learn the best way to harness their inner strength and advocate for themselves and alter their futures using particular life skills. The series which mixes animation and live-action documentary addresses themes like climate justice, financial literacy, food insecurity, child marriage, discrimination, menstruation and sexual harassment. The project also features voiceovers from outstanding actors and advocates from internationally including Freida Pinto, Charithra Chandran, Dilshad Vadsaria, Adhir Kalyan, Amita Suman, Amrita Acharia and Quyen Ngo.
