    This movie makes my heart run fast, as i am watching it all comes back memories of my own story, as young girl in Mogadishu when the War began. I have lost my parents and a only brother and i was orphaned as the result. A year later trapped in the burning city hopeless and scared,me and some relatives who was caring for me finally got the chance to leave. We arrived in Kenya although I have never being in the refugee camp,I had terrible experience in Kenya, Kenya wasn't welcoming Country and the police were going door to door hunting immigrants, although i was living with family members who were Kenyan citizens, with no document in hand we scapped once more to South Africa, and lived there for 13 years,from there i immigrated to the United States,but recently came back to homeland Somalia 🇸🇴 So this's not a movie, but really and result of War torn people, it doesn't matter where they call home, war is terrible thing, may God help those who are in similar situations 🙏

    I am Irish, from Dublin, & this film makes me proud of my people for our welcoming kindness. Truly the people who were there for Ifrah did a wonderful job of building her up with loving healthcare & educational support, but to me the most important gift they gave to Ifrah after all she had taken from her, was the fact that they listened to her & allowed her to speak ...they gave her a voice, a home & a purpose. 💚☘
  • I skipped this movie 3 times, little did I know God kept popping it up my screen for a purpose. It has changed my perception on this topic. Thanks to this brave lady for being the voice for the voiceless.
  • I am writing from Kazakhstan 🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿, I was very moved by the film to tears, I first learned about such a custom from the film “Desert Flower”, after watching it I realized what kind of torment the girls went through... I wish that all the girls in the world would never experience such pain...

    Wow! Watching this on International Women's Day, how timely! Thank you Ifrah, champion for Women! I cried when you sobbed in that hospital. Truly nothing is by chance, or coincidence, Ifrah being taken to Ireland was ordained, which better country than Ireland to understand struggle, pain and healing? Thank you to those good men and women from Somalia to Ireland who helped so many pple from war torn countries, THANK YOU!.....thank you also to men and women around the world who stand up for humanity!.

    I found this movie very educative. My project in my final year was on FGMC in Nigeria. I liked that I did a project on it and just watching this brought back memories. Well done to the cast and crew and to Ifrah thank you for lending your voice for all Somalia 🇸🇴 women 🎉

    went through fgm when i was 6 yrs with razor blade too 😢 remembering it makes me cry .i was raised my grandma and she said it was traditional to do that i remember it was me and my sister and several other girls in our neighborhood.i remember the first girl they cut she was overbleeding coz she was cutted in a wrong way . some women holding us down to be cutted screaming with pain .they poured some herb there and they tied our legs together. and i was in the same condition as that girl who didn't pee remembering my smotach getting bigger and coz peeing was very very painful 😢and that ends with me never letting my daughters go through what i went through
