This award-winning film is based on the inspirational true story of a young Ethiopian girl. When 14-year-old Hirut is abducted in her rural village’s tradition of kidnapping women for marriage, she fights back, accidentally killing her captor and intended husband. Local law demands a death sentence for Hirut, but Meaza, a tough and passionate lawyer from a women’s legal aid practice, steps in to fight for her. DIFRET paints a portrait of a country in a time of great transformation and the brave individuals ready to help shape it. (The film is not recommended for viewers under age 16.)
