Dear Strategic Comms Colleagues,
We appreciate your support in promoting the release of an inspiring, compelling new feature film ‘Rule Breakers’, which portrays the incredible story of the Afghan Girls Robotics Team. The team included the former Captain of the Afghan Girls Robotics Team, ECW Global Champion Somaya Faruqi.
This inspiring, PG rated, non-political & family-friendly film - directed by Oscar-winner Bill Guttentag - highlights the unique transformative power of education and raises awareness about the crucial importance of the right to education for girls in Afghanistan, and the importance of STEM education for all girls around the world.
To help promote the film as part of our #AfghanGirlsVoices global advocacy campaign, please find below our updated social media pack, with suggested posts and visual assets, including new quote cards featuring Somaya Faruqi and the film Co-Writer, Elaha Mahboob.
We appreciate your kind support in promoting this social media content across your channels to drive attention to this important film ahead of its international release on 7 March and ensure #AfghanGirlsVoices are elevated on the global stage on this International Women’s Day.
We also encourage you to see the movie with your friends and families when it plays in your area (it is opening up in 1,400 cinemas on 7 March). This moving true story is a powerful testament to the strength and resilience of Afghanistan girls and girls caught in crises around the world who are determined to fulfil their right to learn - no matter what challenges they face.
