Wonder Woman’s latest project is about women doing wonderful things all over the world. Gal Gadot has partnered with National Geographic to executive produce “#impact,” a six-part short form digital documentary series that will tell the stories of fearless young women who overcome obstacles like poverty, discrimination gang violence and oppression to achieve remarkable accomplishments.

“I’m deeply honored to bring awareness to these young women who are the true heroes among us,” Gadot said in a statement. “By partnering with National Geographic, I’m tapping into their massive and unparalleled global reach to ensure that ‘#impact’ is followed by the largest audience possible. Together we’re making a true impact by sharing these incredible stories that will empower, lift and inspire women all over the world.”

The series of shorts will initially release digitally and then combine in a full-length special to be broadcast on National Geographic Channel.
