Based on Waris Dirie's autobiography. Story of a young girl who flees an arranged marriage in Africa and ends up in London. A chance meeting with a photographer puts her on a wild ride to becoming a super model. Without giving too much away there is a scene that simulates genital mutilation of a young girl. Every woman in America should be forced to watch this horrible scene. Then they can appreciate the horror they put their male babies through when they are circumcised. Today the female version (which is far more extensive) is illegal here, and one day when we become more civilized male circumcision will be. Both are a hate crime, by men in Africa who feel women are property and women in America to their young boys because they hate men.
