In a nation where educating girls is seen as rebellion, a visionary woman dares to teach young minds to dream. When their innovation draws global attention, their success sparks hope—and opposition. As threats loom and sacrifices are made, their courage and unity ignite a movement that could forever transform the world.

We believe in hope from rule breakers

Joan Beal; Jeff Beal, and Aryana Sayeed, a renowned Afghan singer and advocate, brought together their musical gifts and passion for social justice and change. The result was the song “We Believe in Hope”.

“We Believe in Hope” is the first-ever song recognized with the High Note Global Prize in honour of UN International Day of Hope, observed for the first time on July 12, 2025.

Jeff Beal Filmography

Beal’s distinguished film career has resulted in over 150 scores. He has collaborated with Hollywood’s leading directors, notably Ed Harris (Pollock and Appaloosa), Oliver Stone (JFK Revisited, The Putin Interviews), Lauren Greenfeld (The Queen of Versailles, Generation Wealth) and Rob Reiner (Shock and Awe). His dramatic scores can be heard on HBO’s Rome, Ugly Betty, Carnivàle, The Newsroom, Monk, Netflix’s House of Cards, and AppleTV+’s Raymond & Ray, among others, cementing his reputation as one of the most distinctive and recognizable composers working today. His score, along with the song “We Believe in Hope” from Rule Breakers (which he co-wrote with Joan Beal and Aryana Sayeed), was recognized by the United Nations on July 12, 2025 for International Day of Hope and received the High Note Global Prize.
