In other creative pursuits, Danticat has worked on two films, "Poto Mitan" and "Girl Rising". The latter received a large amount of press, largely due to the star power involved with the film (including Anne Hathaway, Chloë Grace Moretz, Liam Neeson, Meryl Streep, Alicia Keys and Kerry Washington). In the film, Danticat was tasked with narrating the story of Wadley from Haiti. "Girl Rising" was defined by "The Washington Post" as "a lengthy, highly effective PSA designed to kickstart a commitment to getting proper education for all young women, all over the globe".
