    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. 💚☘

But how do you convince those people who are rooted in their beliefs. I’ve seen what religion and ‘beliefs’ can cause. I’m not religious. Anymore. I don’t believe that crap that was FORCED upon me. Bless you and your family.

Ifrah, the girl from Mogadishu is a story of coming from grass to grace. I hope she's been able to visit her aunt in Minnesota she's such a nice woman.

    This is the first time im watching a movie where there are a lot of muslims commenting, I'm a Christian and although the movie is very perfect, most of the people commenting here are full of violence and negativity...God forbid. I'm glad I dont feel like that when i watch Christian movies on UA-cam... We write our comments in love and have fun while making comments...

Long may she continue to be a success story and go on to make a difference to other women in similar situations as she went through. What didn't break her made her stronger. From refugee to finding citizenship in Ireland. God took care of her all the way 👏🏾 👏🏾

I wish I had watched it when I was close to both my somali female friends and Nigerians.

FGM is also a menace in my country Nigeria, I cannot say if I was a victim, but I know both boys and girls who were in south-Easth Nigeria. same as ,Tribal marks in The North and west, ill treatment of widows, and forcefull child marriages(Child brides) in the North. all in the name of tradition. I look forward to breaking the barrer & making an impact someday, one step at a time .

    J'ai 54 ans et je connais les MGF depuis mes 20 ans quand j'ai voulu comprendre ce que c'était la circoncision suite à un film sur la seconde guerre mondiale où il est demandé à un garçon de se déculloter pour vérifier qu'il n'était pas juif. En je sais qu'en 2024, il y a encore trop de jeunes qui ne savent rien sur l'excision. Je suis choquée. J'ai parlé à mes 2 fils de ce crime horrible et à mes nièces et aussi à toute jeune fille avec qui une discussion s'engage. Et toujours j'ai été la 1 ère femme à leur en parler. Que fait l'éducation nationale ? Il faut parler de l'anatomie sexuelle, et de son fonctionnement oui et aussi de la contraception et des IST mais aussi du consentement, de la pédophilie et des mutilations sexuelles comme la circoncision, l'excision, l'infibulation etc. Et rappeler que l'ablation d'un organe, d'un membre, d'un tissu n'est valable que si l'organe, le membre, le tissu est malade. Aucune partie saine du corps humain ne doit être coupée, retirée, mutilée, excisée.
    C'est un droit fondamental de garder son corps dans son intégralité.

Et l'éducation nationale a en charge tous les enfants et tous les enfants de sexe féminin et de sexe masculin doivent être informés et tous les enfants même ceux qui ne seront jamais concernés par cette pratique car français de souche depuis la révolution française.
