Rosario Dawson Teams Up with Nana Ghana for 'LA Woman Rising' Premiere!

Rosario Dawson strikes a pose in a black jumpsuit while attending the Los Angeles premiere of LA Woman Rising held at the Saban Theatre on Thursday (October 17) in Beverly Hills, Calif.

The 40-year-old actress was joined at the event by the documentary’s writer-director Nana Ghana, as well as Christa B. Allen who came out to show her support.

LA Woman Rising is a documentary described as “a love letter to the real and diverse women of Los Angeles,” and it includes original poems narrated by executive producer Rosario Dawson.

“While I grew up in Ghana in a house full of women, I finally became a ‘woman’ in LA. My first lesson was that a woman is another woman’s natural ally,” explains director Nana Ghana. “With this film, my goal was to achieve a distinct tone that celebrates the feminine spirit — a raw visualization of empathy.”

Rosario says, “I’m excited to join forces with Nana to spotlight the awakening of previously unheard female voices from around the globe.”
