Think Again: The Film [Video]

“Think Again” is a thought-provoking film that follows a 12-year-old’s struggle between family honour and the facts about FGM. On discovering that her mom wants to take her back home to be ‘cut’ she explores the implications FGM has on her life and the misconceptions that explain why the practice persists in the 21st century.

“Think Again” depicts the cultural context in which FGM is practiced and the inter-generational conflict of holding down tradition in a new and foreign environment. The physical and psychological impact of FGM is ongoing, life-long and remains taboo to discuss even between mother and daughter. “Think Again” addresses a complex issue with sensitivity and creativity, breaking the silence and inspiring change.
