Educating its adolescent girls has proven to be the cornerstone of Kenyan development, yet so many are denied equal access to education, social and economic equality and respect. The half-hour documentary Graceland Girls provides an intimate look at how the high school students at Graceland Girls School in central Kenya have, so far, defied the odds. Using a combination of video and digital photographs - taken by both the subjects and the filmmaker - the girls express the beauty and pressures of empowered Kenyan girlhood and share their personal struggles to find hope for a better future.
