"This astonishing film presents the affecting personal narratives of individual women struggling for self-determination, including Aisha, who defies both tribal law and her imposing father to sneak off to school and educate herself. When she is discovered, an entire village comes to her aid, convincing her father to drop his threats to kill her for the “crime” of being educated. Aisha, now a doctor with her own NGO, is an inspiring model of resistance against tradition, and her family?s experience suggests with profound poignancy that change is possible"--www.wmm.com.
