This an amazing story of hope for women in Ethiopia. This is a must see for anyone interested learning more about Ethiopia or East Africa. Often the AIDS pandemic overshadows some of the other struggles women and children face in this part of the world and Mary Olive Smith, the director, does an amazing job of capturing the stories of these five Ethiopian women.
A Walk to Beautiful is a feature length documentary that tells the stories of five Ethiopian women, who suffer from devastating childbirth injuries and make the journey to reclaim their lost dignity. Rejected by their husbands and ostracized by their communities, these women are left to spend the rest of their lives in loneliness and shame. The trials they endure -- and their attempts to rebuild their lives -- tell a universal story of hope, courage, and transformation.
