She's the First is hosting a screening of Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide. Inspired by the award winning book by Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn, Half the Sky was filmed in ten countries and features celebrity activists America Ferrera, Diane Lane, Eva Mendes, Meg Ryan, Gabrielle Union, and Olivia Wilde. The documentary tells the stories of how oppression is being fought all over the world, as well as tells us what opportunities we have to make a change. Join us in Ward 2 at 8:30pm on October 8th for our Half the Sky Screening! We will be accepting optional donations for the Arlington Academy of Hope at the end of the screening, but admission to the documentary itself is free. We hope to see you there!
