In an historic move, lawmakers and religious groups in The Gambia aim to repeal a ban on female genital mutilation, a dangerous tradition that the United Nations classifies as human rights abuse. Nearly 75% of Gambian women and girls are cut, often leading to lifelong physical and mental problems such as infertility, difficulties giving birth, infections, severe pain, trauma or even death. This film follows a group of activists fighting for the ban to stay in place and for communities to abandon the practice.
