Prajakta Koli Lends Voice in Gender-Equality Film “She Creates Change”
“She Creates Change,” curated by the global education nonprofit Room to Read, brings together a stellar cast of prominent women to champion the cause of girls’ education in marginalized communities. A forceful ensemble of women is lending their voices to the film by Warner Bros Discovery, including YouTuber Prajakta Koli. Joining her is actress Freida Pinto, known for her impactful roles and social activism. Their combined star power sheds light on the importance of education for girls, a cause they deeply believe in.
But the force behind “She Creates Change” extends far beyond these two leading figures. Charithra Chandran, Dilshad Vadsaria, Amrita Acharia, and Quyen Ngo, alongside actors Adhir Kalyan and Amita Suman, form a global sisterhood united in their support for the project.
About “She Creates Change”
The heart of the initiative lies in a six-episode series. Each episode tells the story of a remarkable girl from a low-income community in Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, or Vietnam. These young women face a multitude of challenges, from climate injustice and food insecurity to child marriage and sexual harassment. Yet, through the power of education and the development of vital life skills, they learn to advocate for themselves and their dreams.
“She Creates Change” delves into crucial themes that often hold girls back, including financial literacy, discrimination, and menstruation. By addressing these issues head-on, the series empowers young women with knowledge and builds a foundation for their future success.
Award-Winning Creatives Behind the Scenes
The creative force behind “She Creates Change” is equally impressive. Emmy-winning director Martha Adams and seasoned producer Ian Blei steer the project, while Oscar-winner Brenda Chapman, Freida Pinto herself, Dr. Geetha Murali, and veteran screenwriter Jill Culton join forces as executive producers. This powerhouse team brings a wealth of experience and dedication to the project.
