Mrs. Goundo's Daughter
Posted February 5th, 2010 by Boone
Location(s)
Directed by Barbara Attie and Janet Goldwater
2009, 58 minutes
Presented in partnership with HIAS and Council Migration Service of Philadelphia, Nationalities Service Center, and Women’s Campaign International
This documentary explores issues of human rights and asylum in a film about a mother’s journey to protect her daughter. Declared a "heart-wrenching testament to the integrity and solidarity of women in the face of staggering adversity" by Ed Gonzalez in the Village Voice, Mrs. Goundo’s Daughter explores a Malian mother’s struggle for political asylum in the U.S. so that she can keep her two-year-old daughter healthy and whole. To avoid deportation, Mrs. Goundo must convince a judge that she is unable to protect her daughter, Djenabou, from her well-intentioned grandparents in West Africa, who believe all girls should undergo female genital cutting. Djenebou's situation is not isolated – an estimated three million girls each year are subjected to this procedure.
