"My hope is that The Rebel Girls will receive the funding to be developed as a feature film or TV series so that those in this generation who are fearful of the times we are living in can see themselves through the eyes of those young girls and be empowered to work together for freedom and draw inspiration from a previous generation that had the strength, courage and resilience to resist injustice nonviolently." - Forbes
