ROSIE HUNTINGTON-WHITELEY

We’re all lucky to have women in our lives who inspire us. It could be your mom, your best friend or an iconic politician, artist or activist. In this film, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley introduces our film series by reflecting on the amazing women in her life, why she pushes herself to evolve and grow and how the women in INSPIRED are inspiring her.

REBECCA WELSH

Sometimes, art can help give kids a voice when words fail. Rebecca Welsh’s HALO Foundation works with children facing hardship around the world, providing them with the support and supplies they need to unlock their creativity and self-expression so they can move forward and contribute to their communities.

In this film, we watch as Rebecca works with a group of children to create a mural that reflects their personal journeys—the past struggles they have overcome and the futures they are re-imagining.

CHRISSY BECKLES

What would you do to save an animal from suffering? On Puerto Rico's “Dead Dog Beach,” Chrissy Beckles discovered thousands of abandoned and abused dogs—and was inspired to lace on her boxing gloves and devote her life to fighting for them.

This film follows Chrissy to the Yabucoa province where she rescues the satos (the local term for stray dogs) and brings them back to their forever homes in the United States. And we see her at her charity boxing match in Brooklyn, where she fights for the funds and awareness she needs to ensure that The Sato Project continues to offer new lives to these forgotten animals.

ALLYSON AHLSTROM

High school is tough enough. But wearing the same hand-me-downs day after day makes it even tougher. Allyson Ahlstrom was only 14 when she realized that teenagers in the foster care system and extreme poverty shared her love of fashion and desire to succeed, but couldn’t dress to express themselves. So she founded Threads for Teens, a free boutique serving thousands of at-risk girls.

Here, we’re on the road with Allyson and her mobile boutique as she transforms the looks—and lives—of some amazing young women in New Orleans.

KAVITA SHUKLA

The most inspiring ideas have relevance to everyone. Kavita Shukla was just a middle schooler when she realized that extending the life of food could change the lives of millions. Now, her invention, FreshPaper, is revolutionizing food storage and freshness in 35 countries and recently launched in grocery stores in the United States.

In this film, we see Kavita realizing the huge potential of FreshPaper—from a farmer’s market where fresh groceries are kept at their very best, to a food bank where thousands in under-served communities will benefit from her inspired thinking.

JESSICA MATTHEWS

Jessica Matthews believes the greatest innovators are kids at heart. So her invention, theSOCCKET, is as simple as it is brilliant: a soccer ball that harnesses the kinetic energy of play to create electrical energy. For kids in developing countries, it's a way to light their homes, keep food fresh and water clean, just by playing outside with their friends.

In this film, we join Jessica as she sees how her inspired idea is changing lives across the globe.
