Watch Emma Watson's Short Film on Gender Equality

From Harper's BAZAAR

Emma Watson is on a roll with promoting gender equality and she's not stopping soon. Shortly after delivering a moving speech at the UN against sexual assault on college campuses, the actress and activists released a video called "Hurdles," which she made with The Global Goals organization.

"Women and girls have always faced hurdles, but that's never stopped us," Watson narrates over footage of the women's hurdles event at the Olympic finals in 1964. The clip lists milestones in gender equality-granting women the right to vote, passing the Equal Pay Act, having more women than men enrolled in university-as the athletes race in the background, giving off the overall effect of overcoming physical and societal obstacles.
