Released on World Book Day [1stMarch 2018], and proudly supported by The National Literacy Trust, comes this moving, fantastical tale of female empowerment through literacy: a two-minute film with a powerful message. Written and directed by Leonora Lonsdale, the film follows the ever-wild journey of two young sisters, bold and brave. Focusing on the power of books to harness a child's imagination, the film brings a positive message to the statistic that 493 million women worldwide still can’t read.
Made for girls, by girls, the film was created with an all-female crew, from storyboards to the final sound mix. In its creation alone, 'A Girl Who Reads...Can Dream'emphatically communicates the significance of empowering women worldwide – in all roles of filmmaking.
