A GIRL FROM MOGADISHU 15A [F-Rated]
113 mins – Ireland / Belgium / Morocco 2019 – Dir: Mary McGuckian
Starring: Aja Naomi King, Barkhad Abdi and Martha Canga Antonio
A multi award-winning uplifting film about Ifrah Ahmed’s inspirational life story, by filmmaker Mary McGuckian.
Starring Aja Naomi King (How to Get Away with Murder) as Ifrah Ahmed and Barkhad Abdi (Captain Phillips) along with Orla Brady (The Price of Desire, Rose Plays Julie) and Somali icon, Maryam Mursal. This powerful and inspiring film is based on the true story of global gender-based violence activist, Ifrah Ahmed. It is written and directed by Mary McGuckian.
Fleeing war-torn Somalia in 2006, Ifrah Ahmed is trafficked to Ireland where a traumatic medical examination when seeking asylum reveals the extent of her mutilation as a child. Traumatised by the memory, she channels the experience into a force for change and emerges as a formidable campaigner against Female Genital Mutilation at the highest political echelons in Ireland, across Europe and finally back in the country of her birth, Somalia.
