Layla's Millstone
In 2010, Layla's Millstone premiered at the Festival de Cannes in France. This 12 minute short delves into the horrific atrocities of Female Genital Mutilation, FGM, and shows the global impact that prevails.
A young runaway is suddenly thrust into the horrors of her past. As she confronts the demons of her traumatic childhood, she is forced to make a choice between her future independence and saving her younger sister from the traumatic cultural rights she herself was forced to endure.
