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 🙏

Cheers to those of us who read the comments before watching this amazing movie❤

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. 💚☘

Only who went through FGM type 3&4 can relate much to ifrah. I know how it feels been through the same had to run away with a child and seek asylum in Finland 🇫🇮. Thank you ifrah speaking for the voiceless such a phenomenal warm welcome from Ireland and Irish people 🫡.

I skipped this movie 3 times, little did I know God kept popping it up my screen for a purpose. It has changed my perception on this topic. Thanks to this brave lady for being the voice for the voiceless.

Wow! Watching this on International Women's Day, how timely! Thank you Ifrah, champion for Women! I cried when you sobbed in that hospital. Truly nothing is by chance, or coincidence, Ifrah being taken to Ireland was ordained, which better country than Ireland to understand struggle, pain and healing? Thank you to those good men and women from Somalia to Ireland who helped so many pple from war torn countries, THANK YOU!.....thank you also to men and women around the world who stand up for humanity!.

I am writing from Kazakhstan 🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿, I was very moved by the film to tears, I first learned about such a custom from the film “Desert Flower”, after watching it I realized what kind of torment the girls went through... I wish that all the girls in the world would never experience such pain...

Am literally crying 😭😭 Am a kenyan and my community had stopped FGM by the time I got to the age of going through it.But girls from other communities that had not yet stopped it were really going through a hard time during that time of FGM💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

I almost skipped it thank you Ifrah for being the voice to the voiceless.this reminds me of" Desert flower "

I found this movie very educative. My project in my final year was on FGMC in Nigeria. I liked that I did a project on it and just watching this brought back memories. Well done to the cast and crew and to Ifrah thank you for lending your voice for all Somalia 🇸🇴 women 🎉

Dear ladies let's break the silence. Hero Ifra, ❤❤ i am from Rwanda.

I am from South Africa and I cannot relate to what young girls in Somalia go through; however I understand their pain. May all of them heal from the pain and trauma they went through. Love from a fellow African sister ❤

I am Somalia and born in Mugadishu as i watched I am cried because every thing of this story is true and I relate to her I was 9 years old when the war started and I remember every single thing that was happening there like it happened yesterday this is not just movie it is the reality very sad 😢

Like everyone else I almost skipped this great movie. I'm glad I finally watched it. Ifra you are great. This practice sha. Can't even imagine the pain

Cheers 🍻 🥂 to those of us who read comments while the movie ❤ Any Ghanaian here 🇬🇭🥰😍

I kept on skipping this movie everyday untill today I decided to tap on it ,it's one in a million walahy😊

Я из независимой республики Кыргызстан.Ифра,смотрю твою историю,и слёзы льются из глаз сами по себе...😢Дай Аллах, что бы такие пытки обошли всех женщин мира!!!Ты смелая девушка!!!

I was crying when she saw Somalian girl we are one nation religion, one language I’m so proud 🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴

I am Somalian guy I watch this movie as I’m writing this message. My eyes are full of tears. I’m really sorry to all Somali girls took me back when I was young boy in our motherland we can do so much to help girls Ifrah. I’m really glad you bought this movie.

Wow, thank you IFTRAH for advocating for other women out there. Great job to everyone who made it possible for this movie to exist. God bless you all. Much love❤️ from Zambia 🇿🇲

Watching this movie in the month of Ramadhan all they way in Saudi Arabia am Kenyan working as a maid here hoping to go home soon Inshaalah 🙏 having complete my contract

Watching from South Africa🇿🇦, this is a beautiful and inspiring movie. Amazing work done by the most phenomenal woman❤

went through fgm when i was 6 yrs with razor blade too 😢 remembering it makes me cry .i was raised my grandma and she said it was traditional to do that i remember it was me and my sister and several other girls in our neighborhood.i remember the first girl they cut she was overbleeding coz she was cutted in a wrong way . some women holding us down to be cutted screaming with pain .they poured some herb there and they tied our legs together. and i was in the same condition as that girl who didn't pee remembering my smotach getting bigger and coz peeing was very very painful 😢and that ends with me never letting my daughters go through what i went through

What a story!! Credit to the guy who helped her out of Mohadishu all the way to Ireland. I would have loved him to support her cause and become a total hero, but that isn't the case, so sad. 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.

What a fascinating story of IFRAH. long live Africa ❤❤❤❤❤ from Nigeria 🇳🇬 with love

This is so traumatic for a female child. Hope this FGM Law will thoroughly be implemented throughout the land of Somalia. Thank you, Ifrah for standing for it! 👍💖💛💚💜

This movie deeply moved me, bringing back memories of the challenging times in Mogadishu during the civil war. Ifrah's strength and resilience are truly inspiring for women everywhere. No matter what hardships you face, never give up. I hope you find the strength to overcome your experiences and remember that everything is temporary, not permanent. Fardowsa from Utah ❤️❤️❤️

What a story! Just watched this today and focusing on the positives, Ifrah is one incredible woman who have gone on to do incredible work. 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 nearly didnt watch this movie but am so glad I did, What a truly inspiring girl Ifrah was and is. Am so glad you are continuing to spread the word of FGM and the evil it is for the girls. I have signed many petitions to stop this evil practice but never actually had a 100% understanding to the extent they cut and mutilate these young girls. Thank you for posting

I was completely unaware of the topic and my brain got numb after watching this movie. What a brave, bold and fearless Ifrah to talk and act about it! Hats off!

I am from ethiopia 🇪🇹 but thank you for the awareness Ifrah, you are a HERO to representing all your somalian sisters. God bless you.

sincerely this is beyond a drama. i want to celebrate you Ifrah for the giant stride and your heart of Gold in spite of all contradictory evidences. i as a feminist and a personalty burning with passion to save African CHILDREN IN NEED want to express how much i share in your dream for humanity. love you dearly, sister

I'm glad to be a ghanaian 🇬🇭 based in Italy, this movie really got me 😢 I remember we learned a lot about it in sch as a lil girl but never thought it really existed 😢😢😢😢 God bless u all for this movie 😢 may God strengthen women that had to go through all this pain ❤

This story touched my heart. Although I left somalia at a young age to Dadaab refugee camp, I can still relate everything. 😢😢😢

This movie got me teary, first for the pain then for the victory in the end. A beautiful movie. I am inspired by this.

😢😢😢😢😢ohhh God thank u for my country ..we might have challenges but 24yrs of my life have never seen this 😢😢 God protect my country Uganda 🇺🇬

Hello Ifrah im watching from the Philippines 🇵🇭..Thanks a million for sharing your stories with us..Im so proud of what you did on how to stop this FGM for the generations to come..Never regrets crying while watching..

What a roller coaster of emotions for me. I am not Somalian but i can relate to her story. it is very vivid. The physical pain at 14 years and the emotional pain and fear that has followed me all through my adult life. it has made me cry a lot. i am hopeful that these tears will dry one day

I just finished watching the movie! Thanks for sharing sucj important story to be known. I had a roller coster of feelings and was afraid that may someone harm or kill her when she went back to Mogadishu. Thanks Ifrah for turning your pain into an inspiring story. You are such a warrior. May God bless you and help you in each step. Greetings from Egypt

IM FROM SOUTH AFRICA 🇿🇦WHAT I HAVE LEARNED ON THIS STORY IS THAT NOT EVERYONE HAS GOOD AND A KINDNESS ♥,SO LET'S BE KIND AND HELP THOSE WHO NEED HELP .

I am Somali, Female genital mutilation (FGM), which is a harmful practice that unfortunately still occurs in some communities in Somalia is true. It's important to raise awareness about this issue and work towards ending such harmful cultural practices which is even opposing Islamic teachings. Together we fight all bad cultures for happier life.

Am from Kenya and for sure Ifrah you are a heroine and a super woman ,much love

I am proud of you for standing up for what is right my sister.

One thing this movie has taught is life,always works out and everything happens for a reason ❤😢

I was in tears,sometimes smiling and laughing, then tears such a young,beautiful brave gal.we celebrate you ifrah and super proud of you.❤❤from kenya

Thank you Ifrah! You are one of the most amazing humans on Earth!

Yaa soomali halkaan jooga ismuujiya like wa dhankiina

In fact, this movie has a very strong feeling. I had to watch it for three days, and every day I had to stop watching it first. cry tears of sadness and happiness. I have finished watching this film with a new perspective that everyone in their community should be the catalyst for positive change.

Such a splendid job! thanks to Ifrah. I joined my voice to the voices of millions of women and young girls around the world and says NO to FGM!

Сколько можно мучать этот народ???😭💔 Какое счастье, что она спаслась из этого ужаса 🙏 Варварские обряды ((((( Красивая девушка ) Мира и счастья в вашей стране ❤🕊🇦🇲🇷🇺

Жінка - це людина, гарна, квітуча, весела і вона має такі ж самі права як чоловік. Ми всі на цій планеті рівні, однакові. Національність придумали люди а для Бога Творця неба та землі ми всі рівні. Таке знущання над дівчатами, дітьми треба припинити. Це звірство.

Awesome and inspirational indeed i wish I can watch it over and over again, God bless you ifrah

Not me watching this on International women's day❤We need more Ifrahs in our society.. God bless her

Lemme tell you something... The tears I couldn't hold back... I'll use to share this awareness. Alhamdullilah!!

Such an awesome cast/awareness!! Thank you Ifrah for being a voice to humanity.

Am an African, and the tales that come alongside war, culture and tradition, is really tragic, I guess we are often plaque by the faults in our stars, as the myriad of our stories aligns to propel us to a greater height. A great story no doubt

Beautiful story, well acted, and a proud girl from Somali called Ifrah❤❤

Ireland country and Irish people I l❤ve their tradition and culture. The Irish citizens are very hospitable and kind. I salute to the brave Somalian girl.watching from the Philippines❤️🇵🇭

To people who have been victims of war and FGM and lost dear ones as a result of war just know we love you and you're strong. I hope one day we would join you in a campaign to stop FGM in communities still practicing it. I cried watching this masterpiece and reality.

This is the best ever movie I have watched today🥰 Much love from zambia 🇿🇲 somalians❤😍

I watched n cried! Brave girl,strong girl,blessed girl! Weldone!

🇲🇿 Assistindo de Moçambique-Africa….gostei muito da história,muito sentimental, admirado a coragem dessa mulher.

Such a emotional but inspiring movie. No limit on how amazing one can become. Trust the process. Love and blessings to all the actors and Actresses. ❤

I’m from Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 and have been living in such an amazing country Ireland for 3 years. This is truly a powerful and inspiring story that brought me to tears. I wish that no woman in the world ever experiences such violence and that their rights are never trampled.❤

A great advocacy and movie, thanks to Ifrah Ahmed for giving a voice to women

Inspirational story from unrepresented women in Africa. hats off to your courage Ifrah for fighting this negative cultural practice of FGM. I salute you my sister.

God bless everyone who was part of the production of this film. loved the story. form Mozambique

Many, many years ago I learned of this and started reading and educating myself about it. After learning of this I asked a Kenyan man who worked with me about it. Although this is sad and terrible I am glad this movie was made to bring awareness and very proud of Ifrah for taking a stand and fighting against this.

Gods blessings for the young woman who have to endure this also for the young woman who already have . Thank you for caring and sharing.

I cried all through the movie, for different reasons ofcourse but finally i was so happy for those beautiful young souls. THEY WIN WIN WIN

I'm only 20 minutes into the movie and my face is already filled up with tears, knowing that some people really went through this in real life 😢 Lord have mercy, pray for healing to anyone whom has went through such or similar 🙏

What a wonderful movie of strength, hope and hold on.

Woooow wooow woooow what a movie from the beginning to the very ends. This is what I call informative movie where you watch something and educate yourself more about other culture, traditional and reality of life. I will definitely watch it again. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ movie standard

Ifrah you are such an angel. Thank you for the beautiful act. So touching.

The movie is based on a true story and it's about every story and every pain the Somali people go through 1990 to date. More so the female gender. May Allah give peace to Somalia and it's people. Thanks Ifrah for showcasing to the world the happenings in Somali. You did it pro Bono and for the love of your people.

this movie is projecting what we are going through right now in my country Sudan ( the forgotten war ) as a young Sudanese person I know what is like to flee your home and what is like to lose your loved ones but no matter what are we going through we still have hope thanks Ifrah all love from SUDAN

Ifrah Ahmed is a true inspiration.

This is not just a movie Everything seems real in here Thanks to Ifrah for creating awareness

Such a rollercoaster of emotions. Thank you Ifrah for your impact👑 ❤❤❤

I just started watching it and in the first 10 minutes or so tears are running down my face 😢😭😭

Watching from South Africa 🇿🇦, may God comfort you and others who are casualties of war caused by men

It takes one individual that has had enough to make a change and say NO to every form of injustice or evil...Decide to be that Change today, that one individual. God bless IFRAH AHMED.

This is an inspiring movie! The suspense is great too...and to think this was a true life story? Amazing! Message can indeed come out of what seems to be a mess. And purpose, from pain🎉

I'm very glad to watch this movie. Thank you Madam Ifrah Ahmed for speaking for the voiceless. I'm Asumah Ibn Sulayman from Ghana 🇬🇭. May Allah protect our female girls from FGM 🙏

Très bon film. Thank you.

I am so glad I didn’t skip watching this movie. Thank you Ifrah✅

Her picture caught my attention but I ignored the first. But since then I told myself I must this movie. I’ve learned a lot in this movie. I couldn’t hold my tears. How we humans can be so cruel to each other. I can only imagine the pain of FGMC. Thanks for standing and fighting this so cold culture. May God open the eyes of the people to chose the culture that doesn’t destroys the lives of others. May we love, care for one another. We need peace to reign in the countries.

One must watch the movie for almost the whole hour before you get into the real understanding of this beautiful young woman's life and the story that she tells❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

The best movie i have watched in 2024 ❤ we need more ifrah in society to make more lifes better ❤🎉

Watching this from Johannesburg & Medical Doctor! I saw a whole ward of women at Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre who were being treated for complications of Female Genital Mutilation in the 1990’s! To even think Gambia has reversed their stance to reintroduce this ghastly culture practice 🥺! A great film, deeply informative .

I'm glad 😊I got to watch this beautiful piece...Ifrah, our girl from Mogadishu nailed her role 100%

Great movie! Thanks for sharing. It was very informative and helpful.
