Inspired by The New York Times best-selling
book by the same name, this documentary follows authors Kristof and Wu
Dunn and a number of celebrity activists as they travel through 10
countries struggling with issues of sex trafficking
and forced prostitution, gender-based violence, and high rates of
maternal mortality. Like the book, this film advocates that the best
way to tackle global poverty and address these poverty-related problems
is to empower women.
