My feature thesis film I am working on, "African Violet's Tears," is a story about the horrors of female genital mutilation (FGM) and how it affects women everyday. The subtext of my film is really about one afraid, but courageous, African immigrant who deals with the scars of FGM affecting intimacy with her frustrated husband and eventually faces her fears to confront the wrong that was done to her. I am campaigning now to produce my film budget. Information will be availabl
