A biographical film about Waris Dirie supermodel

The most unforgetable scene is when Waris gave a speech at the United Nations. She said,"I underwent genital mutilation (female circumcision) as a child...," I cried from the bottom of my heart (sobbing in the couch). I always thought that the Chinese foot binding is the most "uncivilized" custom in the world until I watched this film.

I admire her courage to draw the world's attention to that unhuman and horrible tradition. 

The title of this file called "Dissert Flower" (2008), which is based on Waris' biography. Waris served as an associate producer for the film. Highly recommended.
