Cineculture: A Girl from Mogadishu
February 14, 2020 @ 4:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Fleeing war-torn Somalia in 2006, Ifrah Ahmed is trafficked to Ireland where a traumatic medical examination when seeking asylum reveals the extent of her mutilation as a child. Traumatized by the memory, she channels the experience into a force for change and emerges as a formidable campaigner against Female Genital Mutilation at the highest political echelons.
Based on the testimony of global FGM activist Ifrah Ahmed, the film is written and directed by Mary McGuckian.
