has moved the audiences at the 2009 Venice Film Festival.
The film tells the true story of Waris Dirie, a Somali nomad who at age 13 escaped to London. She later became a top model, and then begun a tireless fight as a UN ambassador against female genital mutilation. Hormann explains how her feature reached the balance between comedian aspects and dramatic moments.
