Cut: Exposing FGM Worldwide

I watched this brave documentary with my hands in front of my eyes at times. This film taught me about how widespread FGM is across the world; this knowledge is both harrowing and essential. The most compelling parts for me were the interviews with women who support this practice for their daughters. Sometimes even a grandmother mutilates her own granddaughter. Yet, I tried to put myself in their places and wondered if I might feel the same way if I had been raised in a culture that embraced the practice and never heard any objections. It's a scary thought. Another amazing section is where the documentarian goes undercover and pretends to be someone inquiring about the practice in a doctor's office. The hypocrisy and lies this scene exposes are unbelievable. This is a movie everyone should see.
