I'm really sorry for all the girls involved whose stories are undoubtedly important and beautiful while tragic. Unfortunately I won't learn about most of them because this movie is a piece of manipulative propaganda. Especially if the messages pushed are so widely accepted by the audience this is targeted to, I don't see why indulging in such unbearable tear-jerking music, tasteless poetic words and heavily symbolic, marketing inspired techniques.
Someone recently coined the usage of the slightly uncorrect - but rather effective - term "pornographic", to refer to mechanically induced feelings: which is exactly what this film does unashamedly. It tells you what to feel, when to feel it, what to think and what you have to do. Let's not even delve into the fact that education of women alone can't solve anything in the world by itself without being willing to tear down other bricks in the wall (a thing which I'm sure Intel Corp. Would be much more cautious about).
A failure as a documentary and possibly a failure even as an attempt to promote a cause because I doubt that people would like to watch this long lesson on how s****y the world is without some artistic trade-off. Indeed I tried to watch it 3 or 4 times in a period of at least 3 years and every time it made the same impression. So I give up.
Only valuable in a history class when we'll all be dead to see what the best progressive marketing was like in 2013.
