In following up with my book review on Half the Sky, I wanted to share the preview for an upcoming documentary entitled It’s a Girl!

Upon doing research for this blog post I stumbled upon the fact that today, January 24t, is National Girl Child Day.

What are your thoughts on the trailer? I’d love to hear them in the comments!
