"It's beyond my wildest dreams to get to be on this planet at the same time as these 11 people. It's just the privilege of a lifetime," said Larson.

Poignant and personal, these coming-of-age stories are made even more powerful by hand-picked directors who gladly took on this innovative docuseries. Yara Shahidi, of "black-ish" and "grown-ish" fame, was up for the challenge.

"I had directed a short prior, but documentary style is extremely different," the actress told On The Red Carpet.
