Maïmouna – la vie devant moi explores efforts to change attitudes to the traditional practice of female circumcision. The film follows the work of Maimouna, a young woman from Burkina Faso as she visits villages and families as part of an NGO’s education and awareness programme on female circumcision. Riding her motorbike she reaches distant villages separated by the vast savannah landscape. On her journey Maïmouna explores the many myths and contradictions about female circumcision within her own culture. Maimouna went out to teach people but in the end, she learnt most about herself.
