About Evan Grae Davis:
Evan Grae Davis has traveled the world with camera in hand for over two decades advocating for social justice through writing and directing documentaries and educational videos mobilizing support for non-profits and NGO's championing the cause of the poor and exploited.

 

Evan recently released his first feature length documentary film, It's a Girl, asking why nearly 200 million women are missing in the world today-- killed, aborted and abandoned simply because they are girls.

 

It's a Girl has screened in over 700 locations around the world in over 20 countries. With millions reached and nearly half a million people joining the cause to end gendercide so far as a result of his film, Evan is on a mission to mobilize a movement to restore dignity and value to the girls of India and China, through TEDx talks, countless radio and media interviews and speaking at screenings and events globally, including colleges and universities, film festivals, at the European and British Parliaments, on Capitol Hill in Washington DC.
