09/14/2012 This will break your heart. See more 07/02/2012 This was such a touching documentary, probably the best I have ever seen. It certainly leaves you thinking about these young girls long after you have watched it. See more 07/10/2011 Absolutely informative documentary... does show how the "other side of the world lives"... Count your blessings for what you have, and truly, God Bless the Doctors who donate their time and skills to help and heal those less fortunate. See more 06/06/2010 Moving and informative. Not outstanding in cinematography or presentation, but important in sharing facts about a tragedy that needs attention so more can be helped and cured. What is being done by the doctors at the Fistula Hospital in Addis Abba is truly beautiful. As with most documentaries dealing with such complex issues, however, there is MUCH more to be said about the cure. Getting pregnant women to hospitals is not the only solution. Many of these women would have delivered just fine at home with the assistance of competent midwives--IF they had actually been WOMEN instead of underdeveloped GIRLS. Hopefully this information will also spawn education efforts that will bring about changes in how young daughters are "married off" in such cultures as well as addressing nutritional needs of children. As this documentary shows, the girls who have been blessed with a second chance because of this hospital may well play a large role in the hope for future generations. See more 05/13/2010 We walk with these young Ethiopian women as they travel far from the homes they have been both abused and treated as outcasts after their young bodies are damaged after difficult childbirths. These young women all in their teens are considered "damaged" and shunned by their villages and treated as outcasts. They travel to the one hospital that offers them hope. The director's focus is on the women and her camera's eye is just as remarkable on these desperate womens faces as it is on the views of Ethiopia. Highly recommended. See more 04/29/2010 A powerful and gripping documentary. PBS knows how to deliver. See more Read all reviews
