Mal de madre

A documentary about the life and activism of Jaha Dukureh, a Gambian anti-female genital mutilation campaigner who returns to her country of birth to confront the harmful tradition that she and 200 million women and girls have undergone globally.

From the neighborhood of "Las 600" in Cartagena, Murcia, Carmen leads the first feminist gypsy women's association to fight against systemic racism and machismo. After breaking all the stereotypes, Carmen will deal with the pressure of having become the hope of her community to change things, while moving forward with her goals. Her strong personality, and her determination, will be the driving force to create a sense of resilience, unity and strength to keep fighting.
