Fleeing war-torn Somalia in 2006, Ifrah Ahmed is trafficked to Ireland where a medical examination when seeking asylum reveals the extent of her mutilation as a child. Traumatised by the memory, she channels the experience into a force for change and emerges as a formidable campaigner against Female Genital Mutilation at the highest political echelons.

A Girl From Mogadishu is based on the testimony of global FGM activist Ifrah Ahmed, and is written and directed by Mary McGuckian.
