Desert flower.

The "Cinéma et Santé" section features a film that addresses health-related issues, making it suitable for use in health education sessions. "Desert Flower" tells the story of a young Somali woman who leaves her country to escape a forced marriage. This film can be used by teachers and educators as a resource to address the sensitive issue of female genital mutilation—the central theme of this feature film—and, more broadly, sexuality and sex education.
