Desert Flower (2009)

Directed by: Sherry Hormann

Adapted from Waris Dirie's bestselling autobiography, Desert Flower recounts the incredible story of how an African nomad overcame considerable odds and unspeakable traumas to become an international modelling sensation. The inspiring story of an extraordinary, proud and brave woman, Dirie's story is a modern fairy tale that oscillates between dazzling glamour and archaic rituals. Full of vitality, humour, emotional depth and enormous compassion, Desert Flower simultaneously offers a gripping plea to stop the terrible and inhuman tradition of female genital mutilation.
