Please let me know how to reach you. We want to really get behind this film. My neighbor's daughter worked on it and I have friends that will help by buying a block of tickets.

How do we reserve tickets? Would this be appropriate to bring my 10 year old daughter to see?

I am sure on the age appropriateness of this film. I have heard Pg13. I can tell you that I am planning on bringing my 10 yo daughter and girlrising.com does provide curriculum for upper elementary students. I will look into it further and see what I can find out. Any other questions feel free to email me at kateverrill@gmail.com. And spread the word!

On the issue of age appropriateness for the film, Common Sense Media gives it a 12+ rating and MPAA says PG-13.
There is no violence or graphic sexual content of any kind. There are factual/statistical references to rape and sex-trafficking, and because two stories touch on child marriage, there are references to the fact that child marriage includes the expectation of intimacy with the men they marry, although, again, this is more inferred than stated.
