Humanitarian Work
Stewart participates in the charity "Dirty Hands Caravan", founded by actor Sean Penn, which encourages young people to stand up for the causes they feel most strongly about and to take action. Her work with them included the filming of a documentary which followed the charity in New Orleans. Featuring Stewart, the documentary was screened at film festivals around the world. Another of Stewart′s causes is the water charity Fresh 2o, which aims to raise awareness and much needed money for struggling communities in Third World countries that do not have access to clean drinking water. British actresses Keira Knightley and Lily Cole have been previously featured; Stewart′s campaign was shot by photographer Candice, with Stewart under water.
