MediaStorm is proud to launch the project, She Looks Back, by Rick Gershon and Tim McLaughlin for American Institutes for Research (A.I.R.). She Looks Back, explores the state of girls education in Liberia from the prism of two young students, Rose and Tina. The film tracks these girls as they face challenges that stem from the civil war, as well as gender-based discrimination, which often keeps them from attending school regularly, if at all. With new research projects beginning in Zambia and Liberia, A.I.R. sought out MediaStorm to document the situation and produce a story about the real impact their programs are having in participating communities.

Established in 1946, A.I.R. is an independent, nonpartisan not-for-profit organization that conducts behavioral and social science research and delivers technical assistance both domestically and internationally in the areas of health, education, and workforce productivity.
