Desert Flower

This inspiring true story follows the extraordinary journey of a Somalian nomad turned international advocate. Born into a life of traditional practices, she was married off at just thirteen years old, but eventually broke free from her surroundings to pursue a career as an American supermodel. Now, at thirty-eight, she lends her voice to the United Nations as their spokeswoman against female genital mutilation. The film explores the complexities of cultural traditions and personal resilience, as well as the power of individual determination in shaping one's destiny. This is a poignant tale that brings awareness to the global issue of human rights abuses while celebrating the indomitable spirit of a woman who has triumphed against all odds.
