This based-on-fact story of a teenager who flees war in Somalia to become a crusading activist against Fgm is earnest but effective drama
Inspired by real events, this earnest but effective drama depicts how Ifrah Ahmed escaped Somalia during a war in 2006, made it to Ireland where she was eventually granted asylum, and then went on to become a crusading activist against female genital mutilation. It’s certainly a remarkable story, one full of tragedy, adventure, suspense and even moments of joy, especially in the latter half when Ahmed finds a community of friends and allies willing to help her quest.
