The Acalanes High School Students for the Advancement of Global Education (SAGE) club is hosting a community screening of the groundbreaking film, "Girl Rising," at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 30 in the school's Performing Arts Center. Girl Rising is a feature film narrated by Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway and others, that tells the stories of nine incredible girls living in the developing world: ordinary girls who confront tremendous challenges and overcome nearly impossible odds to pursue their dreams. It is a moving testament to the strength of the human spirit and the power of education to change lives, communities, nations and the world. The film is directed by Academy Award-nominated director Richard Robbins, and is rated PG-13 for mature content.

Acalanes' SAGE club is a student-led organization that works closely with Trust in Education to provide educational, economic and health care assistance to Afghan families and promote gender equality.

Tickets are $8 for adults and $5 for students. Additional donations are welcome. Proceeds from the event will be donated to Trust In Education and to the Girl Rising Fund. To view trailers of the film, visit www.girlrising.com/see-the-film/about-the-film/.
