CFC updates website to include section about documentary on Female Genital Mutilation

CFC's website has been updated to include a new section about their documentary on Female Genital Mutilation (Uncut - Playing With Life). You can get to it anywhere within this site by clicking on this button wherever you see it.

CFC's most recent film, UNCUT-Playing with Life presents the problem of female genital mutilation through the eyes of both Stella, a proud circumciser from the royal family of Benin, and theatre for development activists who studied her life and profession as research material for a play against FGM. The film contextualises the problem by providing a traditional setting and point of view. Throughout the film advocates and activists express their personal views, highlighted by heart wrenching, dramatic theatre sequences showcasing the societal pressures responsible for the practice of female circumcision. Interviews include points of view of circumcisers, the High Priest of Benin, law makers, civil society activists, medical experts, as well as the youth.
