The Sherry Hormann helmed movie ‘Desert Flower' that premiered at the Venice Film Festival sheds light on the implausible journey of a ex-model Waris Dirie who turns crusader in the fight against female genital mutilation. The story replete with drama revolves around Dirie played by Ethiopia-based model Liya Kebede who at the tender age of thirteen is forced to get into arranged marriage. In a bid to escape the imminent, she ultimately winds up in London – It is truly an eye-opener that at such a tender age she underwent circumcision is what proffers the movie its emotional core.
Even as the movie is based on her biography, the film has undertaken a level of arty authorization, turning out to be an unusual mixture of dramedy with fine star casts like Sally Hawkins, Timothy Spall and Juliet Stevenson.
The fundamental message that the movie delivers is quite distressing and traumatic. It is surely a rather sordid matter to take in that female cutting is widely prevalent practise that carries on unabated in Africa and the across the globe.
Dirie is aiding in the movie promotion and was seen alongside Director Hormann in Venice speaking quite emphatically about the movie stating that the movie has been up to her expectations, with a heart-wrenching message that is bound to stir many a souls.
