Desert Flower

So we watched a movie called Desert Flower, which was based on the life of Waris Dirie (I think I spelt that right) who was a girl was ran away from home in Somalia after being arranged into a marriage she did not want, she had to walk for days to reach the capital to find her family who arranged for her to get a passport and to get her out of the country.  She moved to London to work as a cleaner in an embassy and was later homeless when the ambassador left. One day she met a friend and went to stay with her in her hostel, got a job working as a cleaner in fast food and started having a social life. Then she got picked up by a photographer and became a model, got famous and travelled around the world then when they found out her passport was out of date and that she was actually illegal, as she never got her passport renewed after she became homeless, so she married her neighbour to get citizenship. Then she became really famous, known world wide, and one day she did an interview, unlike all other stories about her being a nomad girl to super model, this one was her telling the world about how she was mutilated and how wrong female genital mutilation. Her story spread fast and eventually she was invited to speak out about it to the UN and started a movement to stop this happening to young girls.
Over all it was a very good movie, even though it had a very serious message it was funny at times and I would recommend it to watch if you're stuck for a movie :)
